Thank God He Met Lizzie

(1997)

Guy (Richard Roxburgh) is looking for the 'perfect' woman without success, until he meets Lizzie (Cate Blanchett). The two fall in love and prepare to marry, planning an expensive family wedding. But on his wedding day, Guy is plagued by memories of his old girlfriend Jenny (Frances O'Connor), with whom he lived throughout his twenties. Jenny and Lizzie are totally different; Jenny is spontaneous and exuberant from a working class family, Lizzie is a stylish pragmatist, from a privileged background. The sentimental tunes and intensity of the wedding bring to Guy's mind not his future, but memories of his past. And he realises that his beautiful new wife is virtually a complete stranger...      -- Urban Cinefile
