Since this movie has two of the things I most despise, and I still liked it, it must be okay. I hate big weddings. And I hate people who never say no. So, since this is a movie about a woman obsessed with weddings, and is a walking doormat, I should have hated this movie. But the chemistry between our romantic couple is good, quite good. And Ms. Hegel's character is rather likable despite me wanting to slap her a few times. In general the acting and cinematography was good, and despite the inane plot the dialog is well written. Easy to watch movie after a hard days work, but don't expect to be enlightened.

This was uterly predictable, and yet completely adorable. Typical chick flick story - girl hates boy, girl falls for boy, boy does something to make her hate him again, girl forgives boy, all live happily ever after. Sometimes following that formula is good, a comfort movie of sorts.

I really enjoyed this film, it was funny, entertaining, romantic, it's everything a girl likes in a movie. So it is predictable, but aren't most if not all romantic comedies?
Heigl is quite the actress as her performance is really good. So were the other performers.
Great directing, good photography.
Entertaining and fun. Recommended for all.

Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) is the perennial bridesmaid until she's faced with having to plan her sister's wedding to the guy she's secretly in love with.

Yes, 27 Dresses is thoroughly predictable (name me a romantic comedy that isn't!) but it's still a fun, sweet movie. The chemistry between Heigl and James Marsden is spot on and there are some great one-liners that will have you cracking up with laughter.

What made the movie for me was James Marsden - so earnestly adorable even with his cynicism, I probably would have enjoyed the movie less if someone else played his character.
