 A Sister Drama with Lots of Laughs and a Few Tears August 10, 2008
This movie is filled with laugh out loud moments due to the strong writing and well delivered lines. It may have a typical formulaic plot of a modern romantic comedy, but I found a few surprising elements that far outweighed the stereotypical (even corny) aspects of the film, which made it something I could watch more than once.
Jane, played beautifully by Katherine Heigl, is the little girl all grown up, who bathed herself in white lace dreams. She fills her calendar with weddings and her closet with hideous bridesmaid dresses--always agreeing with bridezilla after bridezilla that the dresses can be shortened and worn again. "Yes, absolutely." Jane may have 27 best friends, but her work pal, who literally tries to slap some sense into Jane, steals every scene she's in.
The most intriguing plot element is the relationship between Jane and her sister Tess, played by Malin Akerman. It's particularly interesting when Jane wakes up and truly examines the past 20 years of her life, much of it attributed to the role she's played in her younger sister's life.
Fluffy, funny and with a degree of poignancy, which make this a five-star film for women and girls. I doubt many men will find this worth watching a second time.
 Some Things Never Change, but Katherine Heigl is Great August 8, 2008
Although 27 Dresses gives you that same chick-flick high while watching, towards the end you start come down, and you realize it is the same thing all over again. Although one thing that is different is Katherine Heigl.
Her sarcastic humor is delivered perfectly, and she is ideal (after some practice on Grey's Anatomy) for the sappy scenes where you are supposed to really feel the character pain. You know, the parts that define a chick flick, when all girls begin to get teary-eyed. Although, the scene where Katherine Heigl's character, Jane relaxes at night by reading wedding announcements is a little too much.
If you haven't heard the plot already (hehe), Jane practically has a career being bridesmaid at all her "friends" weddings. A reporter recognizes her attending two weddings at once one night, and decides to write about her experiences. While Jane is secretly in love with her boss, the reporter begins to fall for her. Jane's sister Tess comes to town and begins to date her boss. Things progress, and while Jane ends up frustratingly planning her sisters wedding to the love of her life, she also begins to fall for the reporter. Then the reporter's story runs, and it makes Jane look like a fool. Jane caught in ciaos of all of this, and all her feelings end up coming out ...
Alright I'll stop. It is a good movie, but like I said, I ended up feeling like it was another chick flick that could never live up to My Best Friend's Wedding. But hey, if you like Katherine Heigl, I suggest this movie, because she is great in it.
 Perfect Fit August 6, 2008
This is a typical chick flick and completely predictable..having said that I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jane(katerhine Hiegle) is always a bridesmaid, and LOVES it, or so she says. She is secretely in love with her boss George played by Edward Burns. Everything changes when her always prettier sister Tesscomes to stay with her and her and George get along great... Jane reexamines her always a bridemaids way of thinking.
She is helped along by James Marsden who plays Kevin who is a writer.
Between Kevins synical way of thinking and Janes Idealistic way of looking at love, you know they are constantly disagreeing.
Although it is predictible, it is fun and lighthearted and has some great laugh out loud moments....
 wasnt happy August 1, 2008
I tried to watch it more then once it was not well done. I was really upset. I watched because Katherine Heigl is a good actress. The movie had no point. She was in love with the guy that Katherine Heigls sister "fall in love with". She lied about everything. So obviously the wound up not together. Katherine Heigl was cute and bubbly like usual but overal the movie was not good.
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!
