Comedy Romance

Having already left three grooms at the altar, Maggie Carpenter is branded "the runaway bride" by jaded New York journalist Ike Graham. But, after his facts are called into question, Ike races to Maggie's hometown to save his reputation and report on her upcoming fourth trip down the aisle – during which he's convinced she'll run again. Though he's there on a muckraking mission, Ike can't help but fall for this breathtaking heartbreaker.

starring Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Joan Cusack, Héctor Elizondo

“The central idea is quite clever and appealing, and that the charm meter is turned up all the way.”
Todd McCarthy, Variety · 80
“The movie-calendar equivalent of last July's "Six Days, Seven Nights," this star-powered romance overcomes a shaky start to outpace that passable confection by several runaway laps.”
Mike Clark, USA Today · 75
“Wonderful characters keep the movie from gagging on sweetness.”
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“Once the premise had been established and the leads began to interact, I stopped totting up the inanities and had a good time.”
David Edelstein, Slate · 70
“But the movie's vital signs improve remarkably in the second half, and especially in the last act. The proceedings suddenly pick up some screwball charm, the writing improves (with several truly inspired one-liners tossed in here and there) and the secondary characters begin to click.”
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 67
