Kiss the Bride is a 2002 American romantic comedy drama film about an Italian family, directed by Vanessa Parise.

Niki, Toni and Chrissy return home for the long overdue family reunion, which ultimately turns into a contest of who can one-up the other.

The sisters, who subconsciously long for the approval and love of their domineering father, renew old familial wounds as they bring up feelings of overachievement and insecurity.

Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote the film feels "less a celebration of warm, touchy-feely Italian culture than an unoriginal putdown of contemporary American (read New York/Hollywood) mores".

[1] David Nusair or Reel Film Reviews was more positive, writing "Parise does such an effective job of establishing all these characters" and that she is "able to make all of this seem fresh, despite the fact that this is the sort of tale we've seen countless times before (ie My Big Fat Greek Wedding)".
