Katherine Heigl is delightful as Jane, a self-effacing Gal Friday so addicted to organizing weddings in her off time, that 27 Dresses opens with her character juggling two nuptials on the same night. A perpetual bridesmaid, Jane's hobby is discovered by a matrimony reporter named Kevin (James Marsden), who hides a romantic side behind his wall of cynicism. While Kevin gradually develops feelings for Jane, the latter's superficial sister, Tess (Malin Akerman), pursues George (Edward Burns), Jane's boss and the object of her love. This romantic circle could go on forever, except that Jane is unexpectedly moved by Kevin despite her general irritation with him and without knowing that he's on the verge of sandbagging her with a ridiculing article in his newspaper. The situation is absurd, but the emotions are not. Heigl is very good, rooted in a long tradition of comely comediennes playing characters who fly under the radar of life. She makes Jane's pain palpable and conveys her character's inability to say no without making her look unappealing or weak. Marsden perfectly captures the part of a rumpled, underdressed writer with repressed passions, Akerman is as convincingly shrewish here as she was in The Heartbreak Kid, and Burns is fine as one of those guys so busy saving the world he barely pays attention to the people in his life. The script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) is fun if predictable, and Anne Fletcher's direction is vibrant. --Tom Keogh

This is certainly a chick flick. Though rated PG-13 it is not family friendly. A fair amount of sexual talk and situations. To quickly sum up the movie, a woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times and loves weddings, also loves her great boss. When she is finally ready to tell him, her younger gorgeous sister shows up and wins his heart. Meanwhile a wedding writer for the local paper shows up and really aggravates her at first. But...can you guess what happens? The story is cute and Katherine Heigl is actually very charming and keeps the story moving well. It is all rather predictable and there is nothing really outstanding about this film. It is a decent film if you wife or girlfriend want a film to watch. For most men, it will be a bit of a labor. |

Super girlie, but I enjoyed it |
|
Hey, What can I say. This fills your girl flick urge. Not the best one in any way, but totally enjoyable to give yourself over to for its duration. The characters were likable and you ended up feeling good in the end. And that is the point of these, right? |

HORRIBLE CHICK FLICK... DONT BUY IT |
|
This is awful. If you read the reviews by every reputable film critic who panned it, they are right. It rehashes and spews movie vomit leftovers from My Best Friend's Wedding and other countless wedding maid of honor finally gets the guy movies. It's a chopped/screwed (bootleg music lovers understand the lingo) mess of a movie that I wasted money on. Rent it from NETFLIX or buy it when its in the $5 movie bin at Walmart or just don't watch it. |

Better than I ever expected! |

I sat down to watch this very skeptically. I had heard bad reviews from critics- whom I'm convinced are all crabby old men. This was a delightful comedy about Jane, a hopeful romantic who is timid and kind. She goes thru a life-changing transition thru meeting Kevin, a journalist at a local paper. He shines light on the fact that she's been in 27 weddings- yet never as a bride. This is a pretty clean film too- not a lot of cussing, sex, etc. (I even loved the fact that they made Jane's boss- whom she is secretly in love with- a truly nice guy. He is a good guy till the end.) I can't wait to watch it again! |

Disappointing--glad I didn't buy it |
Very briefly, this movie is rated PG-13. I am one mom of teens that would have been very uncomfortable viewing it with my own or any 13-year-old. I watched it with a 15-year-old and wondered if we are so numb or desensitized that we assume every teen over 13 years wants to see and hear about sex with strangers and getting drunk.
As another reviewer said, this is a chick flick, yet quite a put down for women who aren't or don't want to be married. Maybe this just hit me the wrong way--I did not know any of the actors either so I had nothing to compare their acting ability to. |
