Summary: Great movie!
Comment: I was a little surprised by this movie. Like most romantic comedies, it had the usual scant plot and comedic dilemmas. In this case, though, the substantial charm of the two leads--Heigl and Marsden--added a great deal more. Heigl's character is addicted to weddings and is portrayed as sort of an offbeat character as a result. What the wedding obsession really does is keep her from living her own life; she is always helping everyone else with their weddings and never moving forward toward her own. Add to that an unrequited crush on her boss, and you have someone who is never going to have a real life unless something happens to change things. That something is an unlikely attraction to Marsden's character--unlikely because he appears to hold views that are opposite to hers, not because he happens to be outrageously handsome, funny, and smart. While some reviewers have panned the movie because they see Heigl as pathetic in it, the fact is that everyone has some areas in their life where they are not everything they should be. It's the exaggeration of that that makes this movie funny and endearing. Most of us don't have a closet fully of old bridesmaid dresses holding us back, but we may be holding onto other things that take the place of a real life. Heigl and Marsden were both winsome and adorable in this movie, and although it was a typical "chick flick," it was not sappy or boring. There was an interesting edge to both characters that gave the movie some life and spontaneity. I recommend it as an enjoyable viewing experience. Would love to see both actors in another movie again soon.

Summary: Five Stars - spoilers may follow
Comment: A cute movie about Jane who's been a bridesmaid 27 times she enthustically helps everyone else to get their perfect wedding while in love with her boss who ends up falling for her spoiled little sister leaving Jane to plan the wedding herself. Along the way she meets the perfect man who writes wedding reviews that she loves to read. Despite his claims to hate weddings it becomes clear that's a cover for a romantic softy. A wonderful movie.

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
