 Great movie, 2008-06-04
I love this movie. It is the type of movie that you can watch over and over and never tire of it.
27 Dressess, 2008-06-04
Great and intertaining love story with a moral meaning behinding... mostly recomeded for women ages 15 years of age and up. Very mature issues addressed, like love, truth and trust.
 fun chick flick, 2008-06-02
27 Dresses (Widescreen Edition)
Enjoyed with my family on a vacation. Lighthearted entertainment, just right for a vacation and the small screen.

 I've seen this movie 27 times..., 2008-06-02
Well, judging by my title for this review you may conclude that I love this movie or something; but then you'll glance over at my two-star rating and realize that that cannot be the case, forcing you to conclude that I must be mocking the films title. Yes, I am. I have seen this movie 27 times in the idea that it is so formulistic and so predictable and literally pulls its plot from just about every other `better' romantic comedy out there that you'll swear you've seen this movie many times before.
This film is very `How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' light; with a good measure of `Hitch', `My Best Friends Wedding', `You've Got Mail' and pretty much any and every Roberts/Ryan/McConaughey movie thrown in for kicks and giggles.
You know, the typical girl loves guy who doesn't notice despite its obviousness. He falls for someone else (in this instance it's her sister) and she has to act happy for them while on the inside she's crying. Then she meets some arrogant jerk who turns out to be this guy she falls in love with only to have him break her heart about five minutes before she realizes he's the man of her dreams and the movie ends on a happy note. I don't feel that saying any of that can really constitute as a spoiler since this is pretty much told to us in the preview.
Okay, so the story revolves around Jane who is so obsessed with weddings and planning them for her friends that she has never really settled down to plan her own; which is mostly due to the fact that her idiot boss George hasn't figured out that she is madly in love with him. He falls for her selfish sister Tess instead and Jane winds up planning her wedding. Then Jane meets Kevin who appears to be a cynical jerk until she realizes that he is respocible for all the beautiful wedding stories she loves to read and collect and that he hides the romantic within himself behind his prickly exterior as a safeguard (duh) so she falls for him and he for her; but love is never that simple.
There are funny scenes here, don't get me wrong; but there are not nearly enough to compensate for its familiarity.
Katherine Heigl is sweet and charming to a degree but she is no Kate Hudson, and she is easily overshadowed by the remainder of the cast. Judy Greer needs some better roles because she is constantly proving to be the best thing in a mediocre film. James Marsden is charming beyond belief and is easily going to make a huge name for himself now that he has shed the Cyclops glasses and hopped into mainstream territory (his one-two-three punch of `Enchanted', `Hairspray' and '27 Dresses' should do nothing but help his career). Malin Akerman is hilarious as Tess, if not a tad predictably self centered; and while Edward Burns is certainly a nice piece of man-candy (I feel so weird using that term but it seems to fit) he is wooden and boring here.
In the end I'd pass on '27 Dresses' because those other 27 movies are far better and more inspired than this one.

I cannot understand these positive reviews!, 2008-05-31
This movie was terrible. I did not buy that there was chemistry between the main characters and I thought that Heigls acting was sub-par at best. Usually with these types of movies you at least find some sort of connection with the characters. This story seemed like a poor attempt to imitate Runaway bride. The only reason I gave this movie 2 stars is for the supporting roles. The supporting actors performed well. I laughed at a couple of lines that Judy Greer had, she did great. Overall I found the movie to be predictable (like I have seen this before). It offered no new ideas and the characters, especially Heigl, were stiff. My wife who loves these types of movies was not impressed with this movie either! Especially after watching P.S. I Love you which rocketed up her list of favorite movies.
