Plot summary
Jimmie is seeing his single friends get married one by one. He isn't too worried until his girlfriend Anne catches the bouquet at his friend Marco's wedding. Suddenly, his wild mustang days are numbered. He finally decides to propose to her, but he sticks his foot in his mouth and botches the proposal. Being insulted by the defeatist proposal, Anne leaves town on an assignment. After she's gone, he finds out that his recently-deceased grandfather's will stipulates that he gets nothing of a multi-million dollar fortune unless he's married by 6:05pm on his 30th birthday: tomorrow! Not being able to find Anne, Jimmie begins backtracking through his past girlfriends to find a wife.

Chased by a thousand wannabe brides
anyone interested in continuity might like to see this anyway!
This move was entertaining -- in a shallow sort of way -- and even though I knew how it would end, it was fun seeing how the characters got there. Loved the use of music and shots of mustangs. I think the turnaround -- where women are more empowered -- is important, especially for women who are younger than I am!!! It was also wonderful to see some really seasoned actors (Peter Ustinov, Ed Asner, Hal Holbrook) having fun with the silliness of the plot and that old standby, James Cromwell, was great as the priest. Now, what I really want to call your attention to is a wicked continuity glitch toward the end -- Renee Zellwegger's flowers change back and forth from peach roses to yellow lilies -- was someone asleep at the wheel in the editing room???
