Runaway Bride

Runaway Bride (1999) starring Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Joan Cusack, Hector Elizondo, Rita Wilson. Newspaper columnist Ike Graham (Gere) writes a column about Maggie Carpenter (Roberts), a woman who keeps running away and leaving men at the altar. He gets fired for inaccuracies in his story, and tries to atone by going to her home town and writing a magazine article about her. So what do you think? Will Maggie and Ike fall in love with each other? Soon, Ike and Maggie are set to walk down the aisle, and you can't help but wonder -- will she run from this wedding, too? The stars have pretty good chemistry, although having seen them together in "Pretty Woman" (1990), this one feels kind of like a retread. Still, it's an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. The subtitles, furnished with the disc, are very good. There are no closed captions. Grade: B
