“While the plot of ‘The Wedding Warrior’ might seem to be the stuff of rom-com fluff, it has an authenticity owing to Dressler’s real-life experience. Her sadness seems relatable rather than forced or self-indulgent. She also shows a great knack for comedy as she shifts into kooky characters and parodies women setting up for a fight when it’s time to throw the wedding bouquet. All in all, ‘The Wedding Warrior’ is a sweetly endearing comedy.”
