Love is a gift......

Warning: Spoilers
Alex Whitman is a New Yorker sent to Las Vegas to oversee a construction project.

There he meets Isabel, and some serious chemistry brings them together for one night.

But Alex doesn't see Isabel again until three months later, when he learns she is pregnant.

On a whim and prayer, he proposes.

However, there's more to marriage than a Vegas chapel and an Elvis impersonator, as Alex and Isabel soon learn......

I can imagine the producers saying to Perry on the first day of filming 'just be Chandler, everyone loves Chandler', and that is what he does, not because he has no other range but because the makers know that people of a certain age will relate to him, and see the film because of his success in Friends.

And thats wherein the problem lies. The vehicle isn't for Perry, it's for Chandler, and in my opinion, he is the most annoying one from that series.

So thank heavens for Hayek, who shows here that she isn't just beautiful, but she can carry a film and make it that little more interesting when shes on screen.

The story is amiable enough and quite sweet, but it's nothing we haven't seen before, and we will see plenty of them again.

It's pretty forgettable stuff, which is a shame, because Hayek is great..
