Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Abbigail Bush 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.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

phoenix 2 "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.

SnoopyStyle Jane (Katherine Heigl) is always the bridesmaid, never the bride. She's attracted to her boss George (Edward Burns), but when her little sister Tess (Malin Akerman) comes to town, he falls for the younger sister. Kevin (James Marsden) is the cynical writer who's trying to do more than the fantasy wedding story. When he find Jane's filofax in a cab, he decides there might be an interesting story about Jane.Literally there was only one laugh in this for me. Just one. That's when Judy Greer slaps Katherine Heigl. Is there something of a wish fulfillment? I don't know. Let's say Heigl in this movie is pushing all the wrong buttons for me.I'm not trying to say that Heigl is a bad actress. The whole idea that these two beautiful people are both so cynical is not an appealing story. Bennie and the Jets singalong was a smile-worthy moment. Somebody should steal that and put it in a better movie.

p-stepien Apparently the female world still centres around the concept of marriage, especially when losing your mother at an early age. Jane (Katherine Heigl) fetishizes weddings to the extreme, gathering all 27 dresses, where she functioned as a bridesmaid and dedicating to them a grand closet. Essentially treating it as her calling she takes great pride in functioning as the organiser, consoler and mind behind the event. Everyday life has her work as a personal assistant for philanthropist George (Edward Burns), who is also an object of obsessed puppy love. When Jane's sister, Tess (Malin Åkerman), comes to visit the situation complicates itself, as the younger sibling captures the eye and ultimately heart of George. Meanwhile Jane's exploits as a mass-bridesmaid captures the interest of cynical commitment newspaper journalist with a post-crash test helmet hair-do Kevin (James Marsden), witness to Jane servicing two weddings during one night.Female characters are formed in such a way, that were it helmed by a male the term misogynist could very easily surface due to its outdated stereotyping, where females live the childhood dream of marriage as their sole goal, while men are cynical towards the whole concept. Still somehow the storyline found relative appeal amongst the target group, hence despite the stance of Jane being passé the idea of a grand white wedding has not entirely lost its magic. The problems with "27 dresses" don't stop there, as occasionally borderline race stereotypes are ventured in a poorly conceived manner, once even with a cringe-worthy depiction of all Asians as being short. Ultimately these flaws can be glossed over and focus probably best diverted to the satisfaction level offered by the simplistic and clichéd story, which offers no surprises and main strength lies in the graceful allurement of Katherine Heigl. Humour levels lay pretty low, so despite an enticing portrayal of a romantically lost and somewhat ungainly Jane the pull of the movie makes it a replicable and quickly forgettable affair.

larcenydogood If you wish to see this movie please realize, first off, this is a romantic comedy, so nobody is hacked to death and nothing is blown up. There are no car chases, martial arts sequences or exploding nuns. Once you get past those flaws, omissions, oversights, restraints of budget, gaping plot holes, etc, you can enjoy this film, and I say this as a testosterone-driven politically incorrect man (I work out seven times a week, do martial arts, did a grad school history paper on the evils of outlawing prostitution, view most women as completely neurotic (do men send love letters to female serial killers?) and would like to remind you that in the mammal kingdom monogamy exists only once, that is in the vole, and only one type of vole not all of them) . The Plot: Katherine Hegel plays a woman who is super sweet, but a doormat. She is especially fond of weddings and has planned nearly thirty of them for friends., Michael Madsen is the weddings writer for The Times, there is a meet-cute (when the two romantic leads meet in a coincidental situation, e.g.: he rollerskates into her in the park, they both are carrying the same obscure novel and strike up a conversation) and they begin an odd relationship with plenty of bumps: her eco-friendly boss, bitchy cynical, morally compromised best friend, and bitchy self-involved HOT sister. Katherine Hegel plays a very convincing ignored sibling who always looks out for everyone else. Although the plot may be rudimentary (but what the hell, I'm fairly well-educated and liked 300) if you accept it for what it is, it is not so bad. Perhaps one of the hardest things for guys to do is show their emotions, and we have all experienced hurt or loss, so we can identify with both of the main characters. See this movie with this in mind, and you will not be disappointed. As to the critics, they are all about suffering and neurosis, but life sometimes has other, simpler things in store for us.
