 Love is patient, love is kind, love is slowly losing your mind September 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Jane(Katherine Heigl) is obsessed with making her friends wedding days picture perfect; the way they dreamed of since they were just little girls. Jane is selfless and kind, and Jane never gets much to show for herself. She's desperately in love with her boss George(Edward Burns) and yet she'll never take any steps toward her own happiness.
That is until the night of two weddings, dashing back and forth between the ceremonies of two friends(which she was the maid of honor at both) that she meets Kevin(James Marsden) an outspoken marriage cynic. Tess(Malin Akerman) Jane's younger sister returns from a modeling job in Milan to turn Jane's world upside down, most of all hitting it off with George!
When dreamy Kevin gets Jane to see that she needs to take a chance to get what she wants in life, maybe it's not what she'd thought.
Judy Greer is hilarious as Casey, Jane's sharp-tongued best friend who believes the only joy in weddings is finding someone to hook up with and trashing the ugly bridesmaid dress she was forced to wear.
Predictable yes, but enjoyable all the same. Something I can watch time and time again that somehow makes me believe in marriage, just the way Jane does.

A Sister Drama with Lots of Laughs and a Few Tears August 10, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie is filled with laugh out loud moments due to the strong writing and well delivered lines. It may have a typical formulaic plot of a modern romantic comedy, but I found a few surprising elements that far outweighed the stereotypical (even corny) aspects of the film, which made it something I could watch more than once.
Jane, played beautifully by Katherine Heigl, is the little girl all grown up, who bathed herself in white lace dreams. She fills her calendar with weddings and her closet with hideous bridesmaid dresses--always agreeing with bridezilla after bridezilla that the dresses can be shortened and worn again. "Yes, absolutely." Jane may have 27 best friends, but her work pal, who literally tries to slap some sense into Jane, steals every scene she's in.
The most intriguing plot element is the relationship between Jane and her sister Tess, played by Malin Akerman. It's particularly interesting when Jane wakes up and truly examines the past 20 years of her life, much of it attributed to the role she's played in her younger sister's life.
Fluffy, funny and with a degree of poignancy, which make this a five-star film for women and girls. I doubt many men will find this worth watching a second time.
 Some Things Never Change, but Katherine Heigl is Great August 8, 2008

Although 27 Dresses gives you that same chick-flick high while watching, towards the end you start come down, and you realize it is the same thing all over again. Although one thing that is different is Katherine Heigl.
Her sarcastic humor is delivered perfectly, and she is ideal (after some practice on Grey's Anatomy) for the sappy scenes where you are supposed to really feel the character pain. You know, the parts that define a chick flick, when all girls begin to get teary-eyed. Although, the scene where Katherine Heigl's character, Jane relaxes at night by reading wedding announcements is a little too much.
If you haven't heard the plot already (hehe), Jane practically has a career being bridesmaid at all her "friends" weddings. A reporter recognizes her attending two weddings at once one night, and decides to write about her experiences. While Jane is secretly in love with her boss, the reporter begins to fall for her. Jane's sister Tess comes to town and begins to date her boss. Things progress, and while Jane ends up frustratingly planning her sisters wedding to the love of her life, she also begins to fall for the reporter. Then the reporter's story runs, and it makes Jane look like a fool. Jane caught in ciaos of all of this, and all her feelings end up coming out ...
Alright I'll stop. It is a good movie, but like I said, I ended up feeling like it was another chick flick that could never live up to My Best Friend's Wedding. But hey, if you like Katherine Heigl, I suggest this movie, because she is great in it.
Perfect Fit August 6, 2008
This is a typical chick flick and completely predictable..having said that I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jane(katerhine Hiegle) is always a bridesmaid, and LOVES it, or so she says. She is secretely in love with her boss George played by Edward Burns. Everything changes when her always prettier sister Tesscomes to stay with her and her and George get along great... Jane reexamines her always a bridemaids way of thinking.
She is helped along by James Marsden who plays Kevin who is a writer.
Between Kevins synical way of thinking and Janes Idealistic way of looking at love, you know they are constantly disagreeing.
Although it is predictible, it is fun and lighthearted and has some great laugh out loud moments....
