 As Predictably Good as a Hot Fudge Sundae! July 31, 2008
Of course I expected this movie to be a chick flick, as in fun, interesting, pretty, satisfying and easy to identify with, and it was. I loved it! Katherine Heigl reminds me of Doris Day--beautiful, classy, funny, an "everywoman" and a great physical comedienne. To those reviewers here who complain that this movie is predictable, is that such a bad thing? When you order a hot fudge sundae, it's pretty predictable: you anticipate a pretty darn good time, right? Same thing here. A wonderful hot fudge sundae of a movie. Enjoy!
Cute, Zany, Happy Ending July 31, 2008

27 Dresses was a goofy movie, with hilarious acting, a codependent central character, crazy driving, snotty kid sister, typical macho but insensitive love interest, unrequited infatuation, and flawed but likeable prince-not-so-charming who gets the girl at the end. It also makes fun of the entire wedding industry, society page writeups, gift registries, as well as the goofy bridesmaid dresses that no one would wear again. Katherine Heigl (Jane) does a wonderful job as the never-ending bridesmaid, who loves planning and helping out at her friend's wedding, and her accidental relationship with a cynical and disgruntled wedding reporter who tricks her into modeling the 27 dresses, as he writes an expose all article on the perennial bridesmaid. Just when he Kevin (James Marsden) discovers he has feelings for her, his article gets printed, and then ensuing bad feelings return. However at the end, the 27 dresses get worn again, this time by the former brides in the wedding with the most number of bridesmaids.
It's a nice light summer movie to watch with friends, especially in June, wedding month, or at a bridal shower.

This young woman had the world by the tail, lots of friends, a good job, a nice home, her good health, and good looks, yet we're supposed to feel sorry for her? I did not. To be fair I only watched about a half hour of it then went to bed. My wife enjoyed it.

Oh, poor Jane (Katherine Heigl), the most attractive woman who seemingly can't find a man. Why and how are there so many movies like this? I'm sorry, it just doesn't happen as frequently as the movies would have us believe. Women like Katherine Heigl get boyfriends on demand. Nonetheless, Jane spends all her time helping her less attractive friends get hooked up, find love, and plan all the details of upcoming weddings. She's so dedicated, in fact, that she participated in two weddings at the same time, enlisting the help of a voyeuristic cabbie to usher her back and forth in a mobile dressing room.
Meanwhile, she pines all along for her own knight in shining armor, wishing to wear the gown instead of the bridesmaid's dress. With utmost devotion and desperation, she plans on finding her man by cleaning her home, hanging up her perpetual string of hideous dresses, and reading her favorite author: the guy who writes the sappy wedding announcements in the city paper.
In walks Malcolm (James Marsden), a cynical beat-writer who witnessed Jane's aforementioned wedding double-dip, and later ends up sharing a cab with her. In a near blatant rip-off of Serendipity, she leaves her date book in the cab, and Malcolm learns all about her sordid wedding past.
Around this same time, Jane's whorish, unreliable sister Tess shows up in time to seduce the man of Jane's dreams, her boss George (Edward Burns). Conveniently enough, Malcolm would love to write about not only the nuptials between George and Tess, but also Jane's Masochist collection of dresses.
Insert ubiquitous dress-fittings, a fun drunken karaoke scene, inevitable strife in the crazy double love triangle, an all too convenient apology after a sabotaged wedding, a perfect second wedding (albeit a bit corny), and the result is a contrived chick-flick that's nearly impossible to dislike. Don't tell any of my guy friends that I liked this movie.
 Great Shower Gift! July 26, 2008
I purchased this DVD along with three others as a shower gift for a friend/co-worker. It is a cute movie, pretty funy, has a little language and inuendo in it, but nothing too horrible.
I think there are plenty of movies out there that are much, much better of course - but I purchased this in the spirit it was meant - fluffy, funny, easy to watch, and good for a group.
