If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I love this movie. I think it's a great concept, and it's so different from a lot of other romantic comedies. I love the acting, and I think the cast were a great choice. I have seen this movie a lot, maybe not as many weddings as Jane has been a bridesmaid at, but still, a lot.This is the story of a young woman named Jane. She has a lot of friends. So many in fact, that she has been a bridesmaid at twenty-seven weddings. She never says no to her friends, and she always plans all of their weddings. That's a big task. She's in love with her boss, of course, but after Jane's sister, Tess, comes into town, George starts falling for the sister. Awkward. But, Tess is a manipulative liar, and she's only pretending to be everything George wants. Jane meets Kevin, a cynical writer who decides to do a story on the fact that she's been a bridesmaid more than two dozen times. In the end, Jane finds love unexpectedly.Best part of this episode: The wedding / dressing-up montages.Worst part of this episode: Jane's sister, ugh.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

I watched this movie on a network with commercials and did not finish watching it but saw most of it. I cannot believe so much money was spent with such a poor result. This movie fails on many levels. First, the idea that Katherine Heigl's character is interesting enough to be featured in a big feature story for a large New York newspaper is balderdash. Heigl's character is boring and largely uninteresting.The plot is contrived. The actress who plays her sister cannot act. The scene where she freaks out about the newspaper article does not work. She cannot carry that scene.Katherine Heigl's role as the woman who is always the bridesmaid is not convincing. No one would believe that a woman of Heigl's beauty and charm would be unable to find a suitable husband.The actor playing the newspaper reporter who falls for Heigl does not have chemistry with Heigl and he is miscast for the role. I do not buy him as a newspaper reporter.The actor who plays Heigl's boss and the guy she thought she loved is underused. He seems bored by the role.Overall this is a superficial and forced plot that begs to be interesting. With so much money to spend to make this movie one would think that the producer's could have delivered a better product.

This is a typical romantic chick flick so if you're into cheesy dialogue, predictable ending, and "aww" moments then this movie is for you! 27 Dresses has a great plot with unexpected twists that will keep you wanting more. It's a perfect movie to see for a girl's night out. Jane (Katherine Heigl) has been a wedding planner for over 27 different brides, trying to hold on to the memory of each wedding through her bridesmaid dresses. Alongside, she works at another company where she is madly in love with her boss, George (Edward Burns). This secret love for him has been going on for a while and she still hasn't gotten the nerve to tell him. The day she thought she would confess was the same day her sister Tess came to visit. Tess is a self-centered woman with a flirty charm who at a party gets the boss falling for her. Jane is even more crushed when she finds out that George and Tess' love eventually turns into marriage. Can you guess what happens next? Yes, Jane is asked to plan the wedding for her sister who stole the man she loved. Twisted enough? Katherine Heigl was great; she completely took on the role of her character. Her performance allows the viewer to connect to her character to the point where they feel the anticipation of knowing the guy they love may end with some other girl or even worse, their sister! Another actor who stood out was the male lead, James Marsden (Kevin). This was his first male lead role in a chick flick and he pulled it off great. I really enjoyed his cynical attitude and his jokes that always lighten up the mood throughout the movie.27 Dresses is a movie that really connects with the female audience because many girls have experienced the pain of when the guy is in love with runs off with her best friend. There's a scene in the movie where her sister Tess is out with George and the thoughts that pass through her mind are hilarious! Her way of releasing the stress and frustration by grumbling, cleaning, and talking to herself are funny because it is based on the reality of how people sometimes do the silliest things over a broken heart. I don't think any of us can even think about having to plan a wedding for the guy we love and only in a movie would someone be roped into a situation like that. This movie has enough of a basis in reality that it connects to the viewer's life, but the circumstances are quirky enough that people enjoy the humorous and upbeat situations. The twisted plot and great actors will have you engaged throughout the film. Being a romantic comedy, it has a predictable ending and its fair share of cheesy dialogue but it's definitely worth watching for a good laugh!

The contributing factors that made 27 Dresses, a 2008 film, a success for me were the plot, acting, originality, and soundtrack. This movie is your usual "chick-flick" by nature. The plot is relatable to the female audience and a great movie to watch while with your girlfriends. The male audience would maybe find some parts funny like those with Marsden but I wouldn't recommend it for men. Katherine Heigl is a hopeful-romantic in search of her groom. Having been a bridesmaid 27 times in 27 weddings ranging from themes like scuba to classic, she is now ready to search for a groom of her own. She has done everything for each and every bride that she has been a bridesmaid for. She secretly is in love with her boss, Burns (George), and believes that he is the one. While daydreaming about her boss, Marsden comes along with his charming ways and tries to weave his way into her heart. Heigl's character is so sidelined by her love for George that she doesn't see it. Along comes Akerman (Tess), Heigl's sister, and Burns immediately falls in love with her. Akerman then asks for her sister to plan her wedding and puts her on track to be the bridesmaid in her 28th wedding. What's one more, right? Wrong. Heigl will not let him go that easily and pulls the crowd with her and she takes on the challenge. Heigl (Jane) and Marsden (Kevin) combine to create a comical yet beloved couple. Their use of wittiness makes for the perfect dose of comic relief in the sometimes awkward situations and it adds to their charm. They are sent to go shopping for Tess' wedding registry and decide to scan all the ugly things in the store to get back at Tess. There are some cheesy lines every once in a while, most frequently from Akerman (Tess), but is not unbearable for us viewers. The originality of the film is what really drew me in. Like I said before, the film definitely follows the outline of a traditional romantic comedy, but not one that is completely predictable. The emotions of the film made it seem like I was on a roller-coaster, but was hard to foretell. In the beginning you have hope for Heigls and Burns' characters and then it quickly fades when Marsden comes into the picture. There is a feeling of hopefulness in the relationship between Marsden and Heigl since there is a spark between Burns and Akerman and the emotions continue from there.The soundtrack is very appropriate to the film and the events in it. The songs are rather catchy and may lead you to sing them for the rest of the night. After watching the film I was singing "Bennie and the Jets" until I went to bed! 27 Dresses is a film that I would recommend to any female and would make for a great movie on a night with the girls. If you are someone that likes movies like The Proposal or The Wedding Planner, then you would like this one as well. While they all have to do with the idea of marriage, they were all either directed or produced by Anne Fletcher. This film will be one of my favorites in my collection and able to hold its own against the others. If I were to rate this film based on my liking out of ten stars, I would give it nine stars.
