Trailer Synopsis Cast

Jack and Audrey Landry are a middle-aged couple who have barely gotten the hang of being a pair of "empty nesters" when their three grown daughters -- Teri, Nora, and Dahlia -- end up tumbling back home again. That's not so hard to take but just as the parents re-adjust their lifestyle to accommodate their offspring, all three of the Landry daughters fall in love. Happiness abounds until the daughters each announce they're getting married. At the same time. And guess who's footing the bill? Now it's a race to see which runs out first -- Jack and Audrey's bank account or their sanity.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Similar in spirit, theme, and approach to an old Robert Young TV movie from the '70's called All My Darling Daughters, where a loving Dad faces the bizarre circumstance of preparing for a triple wedding ceremony of his daughters. Vaguely similar to Father of the Bride, but the manic hysteria of the Dad is removed in this lower-key approach.Everybody's rich, and this film spares you from the rich jerks cliché. Everybody in the movie is the kind of a person you might like to have as a friend, even the one oddball in the bunch. There's gentle and tender sentiment, with just enough pratfalls to keep the light hearted intent intact. Nothing is overdone for cheap laughs, except maybe the yoga scene. The closeness of the sisters to one another, and with the parents: very sweet and believable. And it was nice to see Karen Valentine acting again.Overall, a sweet diversion that's very human and makes no pretenses.

This film is a lot of fun! Okay, it isn't any 10 star flick, but I just caught it on the Hallmark Channel and have to say that I really liked it! I believe that you really can't make a close-to-home, realistic wedding flick because EVERYONE has a different type of wedding/experience. These girls choose the "traditional" expensive outdoor catered wedding with all the bells and whistles...The film is a bit like Father of the Bride times three (and I'm sure took a beating from critics for that), but the writer manages still to focus on a doting father giving the girls the wedding they deserve and have dreamed of! I really liked how all of the girls had the (unrealistic, yes) spirit of sharing and giving and they DID NOT become self-centered bridezillas come the day of the event.The movie does a great of showing the importance of family especially making a wedding a FAMILY event. I enjoyed this! I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a fun, comedic movie about a wedding. Any girl stressed about being a bride should totally see this movie...and relax a bit!

Its a typical American feel-good movie which is supposed to be a romantic comedy. The comedy is hard to spot and an hour and a half of predictable romances is just too much. There are no real turns in the plot and you already know the end of the movie within the first half hour. The only good thing about the movie is the feel-good part of it. It does make you relax and feel all romantic, although this is often spoiled by a moment of simple humor. If you're looking for a movie to watch when you're really feeling like simple humor and not too much thinking to do, this is it, else don't do it because you won't survive for an hour and a half.

This made for TV film seems to be a remake/update of the classic 70's TV film All My Darling Daughters from 1972 w/Robert Young,Sharon Gless,Judy Strangis et all..Anybody else notice this? I know some producer or scriptwriter saw the original and came up with the idea to do a updated remake,has to be,since they're doing updated remakes left and right these days.Since there was a sequel to the original (All My Darling Daughters Anniversary 1973) wonder if they'll do another (Wedding Daze Again ??) Nice to see Karen Valentine back in action in a TV film,where has this talented actress been hiding..? She did many great TV films during the 70's and 80's (Coffee,Tea Or Me? 1972,Daughters Of Joshua Cabe 1972,Muggable Mary Street Cop 1982 come to mind) Lets hope she decides to do more..
