Summary: Terrific Katherine Heigl in Uninspired Romantic Comedy
Comment: Katherine Heigl is terrific as Jane, who has served as bridesmaid as many as 27 times. Sometimes she has to change her clothes in a cab because she has to attend more than one wedding in one day. Perhaps you know this kind of person, who just cannot say "no" even when she knows she should; who keeps these 27 dresses she wore in her closet; and, well, who is in love with her boss handsome George (Edward Burns), dreaming of the day when she would be the bride. But of course this will not be.
That is because her younger sister Tess arrives and falls in love with George and he is also attracted to Tess to the chagrin of Jane. Moreover, Kevin (equally terrific James Marsden) a cynical news reporter reluctantly covering the weddings wants to write a story about her. And like many heroines in romantic comedies, Jane dislikes Kevin at first, but soon changes her mind. This is a formula established in the days of "When Harry Met Sally..."
The plot of "27 Dresses" follows the beaten path of romantic comedies, but that is not actually a bad thing. What is regrettable is that director Anne Fletcher ("Step up") misses chances to make this film much more engaging than it is now. The film is occasionally funny and charming mostly thanks to two talented actors Heigl and Marsden, but supporting characters remain unmemorable, or worse, annoying.
To me, what Tess does to Jane in the earlier part of the story looks too thoughtless and even obnoxious to be really funny. Hers is not the charming or delightful kind of thoughtlessness that would make you smile. Still worse, we (and Jane) are supposed to forgive Tess as Tess is, we are suddenly told as the film wraps up, not a bad person after all. Well, I know predictability is part of some (if not all) romantic comedy genre, but even so, you just cannot manipulate the way audiences feel about the characters in this crude fashion.
Moreover, Edward Burns and Judy Greer are required to do little in the thin story while Burn's characters should be more attractive to make him Jane's crush and Greer's character's lines should be more witty and biting to make her Jane's friend. Luckily the considerable charms from Katherine Heigl and James Marsden somehow keep this film afloat, but still I couldn't help thinking that their inspired performances are wasted in "27 Dresses."

Summary: Cute Movie
Comment: This was for my daughter. It is a very cute movie. We really enjoyed it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: James Marsden ruined this movie
Comment: This was a movie that I had wanted to see. Katherine is fantastic and is a joy to watch. Unfortunately James Marsden just ruined the entire movie. He is exactly the reason why women should not get involved with men. I can not believe that the movie ended the way it did. One can really enjoy this movie if they cut out all the scenes that Marsden is in. Another character, completely differant from Marsdens, should have been in this movie.

Summary: Marsdeigl!
Comment: 27 Dresses is a cute little movie about, yes, romance and comedy. While not perfect, it is a pretty good movie. I judge movies on whether I'll ever want to watch them again, and I would see 27 Dresses a few more times. Katherine Heigl is good at playing her title role, and James Marsden does light up the screen as the love interest, but... there is some heart missing. It's the cinematic equivalent of a Hershey's bar- you know it's not as good as, say, Dove chocolate, but you'll still eat it because it tastes pretty good and you're hungry.

Katherine Heigl (Knocked up TV's Grey's Anatomy) lights up the screen in this charming romantic comedy from the screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada." Heigl stars as Jane a romantic completely selfless woman who has been a bridesmaid in no less than 27 weddings. Unfortunately her own happy ending seems to be nowhere in sight. Until her younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane's boss -- on whom Jane has a secret crush inspiring Jane to change her "always-a-bridesmaid" destiny.System Requirements:Running Time: 105 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/ROMANTIC COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543515975 Manufacturer No: 2251597
