help The Wedding Planner FAQ
Is it true The Wedding Planner made Jennifer Lopez the first person with a number one movie and album the same week?
Yes. In late January 2001, The Wedding Planner opened at number one at the U.S. box office the same week her album J.Lo topped the Billboard 200, making her the first artist to pull off that double. It remains one of the most-cited trivia facts about her career.
Is Matthew McConaughey's character in The Wedding Planner a sheriff or a doctor?
He plays Dr. Steve Edison, a pediatrician who rescues Lopez's wedding planner Mary from a runaway dumpster and then turns out to be the groom in the wedding she's organizing. The bride, Fran, is played by Bridgette Wilson, which sets up the film's central romantic dilemma.
Who directed The Wedding Planner and how much did it make?
Adam Shankman directed it, in his feature debut, and the film grossed roughly $95 million worldwide. It also helped cement the Lopez rom-com era alongside Maid in Manhattan the following year.
Is The Wedding Planner appropriate for kids?
It's rated PG-13 and very mild by modern standards, with the edgiest content being innuendo and the arranged-marriage farce subplot with Justin Chambers's Massimo. Judy Greer steals scenes as Mary's frazzled assistant Penny, and it's a safe family-adjacent pick for older kids.
