About This Movie

Here Comes the Bride (1978) offers a quirky mix of comedy, drama, and romance that feels both lighthearted and slightly offbeat. The story follows Rhonda, who spins a web of lies about her virginity just as she prepares to marry her neighbor. It’s got this playful yet poignant exploration of relationships and societal expectations. The performances are a blend of earnestness and humor, grounding the film in relatable situations. The pacing has its lulls, but that’s part of its charm, allowing the atmosphere to develop organically. And while the practical effects may not be groundbreaking, they serve the narrative well enough, creating a distinctive feel that’s hard to put into words.

Here Comes the Bride has had a somewhat niche presence in the collector's market, not always easy to find in pristine condition. It has seen various releases, but the original prints are particularly coveted. Enthusiasts appreciate its unique blend of genres and the offbeat charm that distinguishes it from mainstream romantic comedies of the time, making it a topic of discussion among collectors who enjoy the period's more obscure offerings.
