LOS ANGELES (AP) â€” Matthew McConaughey wouldn't go see a movie like ``The Wedding Planner,'' but he doesn't mind acting in it.

McConaughey told reporters he normally doesn't like romantic comedies like this one, in which he co-stars with Jennifer Lopez.

``What I liked about this is it was, for me personally, I've never done anything like it before,'' he said recently. ``I'd come off of `U-571,' heavy-duty drama â€” duty, responsibility, 17 guys. It was nice to go to something light.

``So is it something I'd go see right away? No. No, it's not my first choice.''

The 31-year-old Texan will star in another serious movie next â€” the thriller ``Frailty,'' Bill Paxton's directorial debut about an FBI search for a serial killer.
