 Best Film Ever! January 19, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I love this movie! It has a combination of romance and comedy, while the casting is perfect! This movie has some profanity and deals with adult situations not appropriate for children under 10. 27 Dresses deals with a woman named Jane who has always loved attending weddings, and making someone's important day memorable. She loves it so much that she has been a brides maid 27 times, barely having a life of her own, other than work and weddings. But when her sister comes home and steals the heart of Jane's boss(whom she secretly likes)Jane begins to wonder, if being a brides maid all the time is worth it. And when she meets Kevin, a reporter who discovers her fancy in being a brides maid, he then secretly begins to write a story on her for the wedding section of the paper to increase his career. But after meeting him, Jane's own opinion on love is changed forever. This movie is not only Oscar worthy but worthy of EVERY movie goers chance.

This film is actually much more enjoyable then one might think, and it was unfairly bashed by critics.
Katherine Heigl once again shows that she can carry the weight of a leading headliner in a major studio film. It follows the story of a girl who is in love with being in love and the procession of a wedding. It maybe because she lost her mother at a young age, or it maybe because she is in love with her boss, who dependant on her in the work place but not aware of her in matters of the heart.
James Marsden is a skeptical struggling news reporter who is tired of covering the wedding section of a major newspaper chain. He secretly scoffs at the ridiculous measures that women will go to have "the perfect wedding", even though his articles are the stuff that describes marital bliss as being touched by Heaven. He bumps into Katherine Heigls character at a wedding and is amused by her serious undertaking of being the "perfect" bridesmaid. At the same time he become unknowningly smitten with her, he decides to base an article that sheds light on how ridiculous some women become with their desire for "fairy tale love and marriage".
Enter Katherin Heigl's sister who is coming to visit, and is immediately attracted to Hiegl's boss who is too aware of the opulent attractive sister. Hiegl is heartbroken and miffed and the stage is set for the film which touches the heart and tickles the funny bone.
This is a quintessential film for those who love FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, THE WEDDING PLANNER, RUNAWAY BRIDE, MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING and other romantic comedies.
There are some truly hilarious moments and some tender poignant scenes as well. The viewer finds himself or herself, whatever the case maybe, cheering on Heigl to achieve her heart's desire throughout the obstacles of the film. Hiegl truly shows in this film that she indeed has star power rivaling Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts for the romantic comedy genre.
This is not just a chick flick, men should take note as well and will probably enjoy it as well, even though it might be a guilty pleasure for them. Buy this film and add it to your collection.
HERE COMES THE BRIDE AND HERE COMES THE DRESSES AND THE LAUGHTER. ENJOY!!!

Jane (Katherine Heigl) loves weddings. In fact, on the night she meets Kevin (James Marsden) she is a bridesmaid in not one but two weddings, changing in a taxi while she runs back and forth to participate in both. When not being a bridesmaid, Jane is mooning over her smart, kind and wealthy boss, George (Edward Burns). Unhappily for her, she finds herself being planning the wedding of George to another woman: none other than her flighty sister Tess (Malin Ackerman).
After watching this movie, it quickly became one of my favorite romantic comedies. Is it terribly formulaic? Yes. Jane initially dislikes Kevin, which of course means she will fall in love with him before the end of the movie. But not, of course, before their relationship is derailed by the appearance of an article Kevin wrote on Jane's bridesmaid obsession. There is also the snarky best friend, sisterly quarrels, the red herring guy who Jane thinks is her true love but clearly is not and the requisite happy ending. But anyone who is watching a romantic comedy probably doesn't expect it to be terribly original and thought-provoking. What makes 27 DRESSES a good romantic comedy is not that it breaks new ground but that it is funny, cute and terribly fun to watch. Furthermore, Katherine Heigl and James Marsden have great chemistry together and bring a considerable amount of charm to their performances.
This is a great girls' night movie and highly recommended for anyone who wants a good chick flick.

I absolutely love 27 Dresses! I think it is one of the best movies to come out in a long time. It is about a woman who has been a bride's maid twenty-seven times and a jounralist writing an article about her. The movie is funny and sweet all at the same time. And the supporting cast is great too! Go see it as long as it is still in theaters and I can't wait until is comes out on DVD!!!!
Great chick flick!! April 29, 2008

I loved this movie but it is a true chick flick. If you are not into that type of movie then you will not enjoy this one. I loved every minute of it and look forward to watching it again. Very sweet, sappy, and cute which is just the way I like my movies!!
