Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Career-oriented pushover Heigl finally has enough when another woman swoops in on the man she secretly loves (Burns), the only problem… the woman is her sister (Åkerman). Ugh. Then there's Marsden's character pushing his way into conflict, as a cynical writer who tries to win the heart of Heigl. Typical chick-flick that offers as little originality as it does laughs. While the acting may not be terrible, it certainly is insincere—maybe the cast had a difficult time hiding their frustration with being a part of such a dull and empty movie. Even the Elton John music can't lift this cookie-cutter rom-com.*½ (out of four)

"27 dresses" is a movie about a girl named Jane who loves to organize weddings for her friends. The last wedding that she takes on is her sister's Tess with Jane's boss, Gorge, with whom Jane is secretly in love with. Meanwhile, a cynical writer, Kevin, who is interested in Jane, covers Tess's wedding for the paper. The story is very entertaining and humorous, from the clever lines to the crazy scenes, especially the one in the bar. The soundtrack is great too. The journey that Jane takes until she finally takes the ranges of her life is filled with many ups and downs. Of course the ending is still predictable, but fortunately the film is of good quality and very interesting. The performances are good too. The whole atmosphere is a little "bridal", rosy and cheerful, but doesn't gets tiring. All in all, a nice movie that entertains without getting boring.

"Bingo!" Kevin Doyle had lost his wife to his college roommate, and perhaps he became a little bitter. As some sort of retribution, he wrote himself into a journalistic corner, reliving and recreating wedding after wedding and countless engagements in sugary prose. Then he meets a woman (Jane/Katherine Heigl) who cannot see past the wedding industry's manipulation of a beautiful event and rite of passage, and worst of all, he was complicit in the sham. Events conspire to bring them together, and he wants to write himself out of wedding prison by finally exposing it all, using the naive woman as the object of his cynicism. The only problem was: she really was interesting, and he was drawn to her. The die was cast, however; the article was written, and his editor demanded it. He extracts a false promise from her, and he was hoist by his own lack of regard. His article subject, Jane Nichols, however, did not return his regard--at first. When she finally begins to trust and to like him, the newspaper article explodes in her face, and all seems lost. But you know, this is a romantic comedy, and all is not really lost. Events will conspire to bring them back together. Kevin will regret what he has done, he will try to be "there for her" when she needs it, instead of looking at events and people with a jaundiced eye. And Jane will see how much of a hopeless, co-dependent romantic she was, carrying a burning torch for a clueless boss. I really don't like Katherine Heigl; her performance reminds me of the petulant behavior and acting of Doris Day. Heigl has to be jollied over and over again by James Marsden, whose charm almost transcends his attempt to be cynical. He betrays loneliness and desperation, which in truth matches hers. I never saw Marsden before this film, and I only saw it on television and in the DVD I purchased. I love his sense of comedy, and his portrayal of underlying sadness. That hint is shown during the display of all the bridesmaid's dresses, when Jane says, "You don't get it." He really does get it, and she would have noticed if she had really looked into his eyes. What doesn't appear readily on television sets: in the hilarious drunken Bennie and the Jets scene is the macho-type man next to Marsden in the bar, whose face reacts to the behavior and conversation of Heigl and Marsden. I'm glad I "discovered" this film. I watch it every time it reappears on TV, and when I really want to feel good about something, I play it. Ed Burns and Judy Greer are good supporting actors; he plays the clueless love object well, and she is a great best friend with the typical witty dialog.

This wasn't too bad a movie as Katherine Heigl plays out the old phrase "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" in her character. She seems to be a professional bridesmaid and has the title 27 dresses (even attending 2 weddings in one night!) to fit those weddings. She is attracted to her boss, who reveals that he is engaged to her sister. Jealous, she sets out to try and sabotage the wedding. One night, she shares a cab with a journalist and accidentally leaves her book behind. The guy learns about her secret and writes about her. Of course, chaos ensues, and it's hilarious and good chaos. Fortunately, it's not mean-spirited chaos.I think this was a funny and well-cast movie, especially in the lead roles. Heigl was good in the lead, and if you like romantic comedies, I recommend this one. It is good either for date night or for the whole family. Everyone might like it! *** out of ****
