Movie Reviews of 27 Dresses [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Always the Bridesmaid Summary: 5 Stars
Jane (Katherine Heigl) loves weddings. In fact, on the night she meets Kevin (James Marsden) she is a bridesmaid in not one but two weddings, changing in a taxi while she runs back and forth to participate in both. When not being a bridesmaid, Jane is mooning over her smart, kind and wealthy boss, George (Edward Burns). Unhappily for her, she finds herself being planning the wedding of George to another woman: none other than her flighty sister Tess (Malin Ackerman).
After watching this movie, it quickly became one of my favorite romantic comedies. Is it terribly formulaic? Yes. Jane initially dislikes Kevin, which of course means she will fall in love with him before the end of the movie. But not, of course, before their relationship is derailed by the appearance of an article Kevin wrote on Jane's bridesmaid obsession. There is also the snarky best friend, sisterly quarrels, the red herring guy who Jane thinks is her true love but clearly is not and the requisite happy ending. But anyone who is watching a romantic comedy probably doesn't expect it to be terribly original and thought-provoking. What makes 27 DRESSES a good romantic comedy is not that it breaks new ground but that it is funny, cute and terribly fun to watch. Furthermore, Katherine Heigl and James Marsden have great chemistry together and bring a considerable amount of charm to their performances.
This is a great girls' night movie and highly recommended for anyone who wants a good chick flick.
Summary of 27 Dresses [Blu-ray]Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 09/30/2008 Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13 Katherine Heigl is delightful as Jane, a self-effacing Gal Friday so addicted to organizing weddings in her off time, that 27 Dresses opens with her character juggling two nuptials on the same night. A perpetual bridesmaid, Jane?s hobby is discovered by a matrimony reporter named Kevin (James Marsden), who hides a romantic side behind his wall of cynicism. While Kevin gradually develops feelings for Jane, the latter?s superficial sister, Tess (Malin Akerman), pursues George (Edward Burns), Jane?s boss and the object of her love. This romantic circle could go on forever, except that Jane is unexpectedly moved by Kevin despite her general irritation with him and without knowing that he?s on the verge of sandbagging her with a ridiculing article in his newspaper. The situation is absurd, but the emotions are not. Heigl is very good, rooted in a long tradition of comely comediennes playing characters who fly under the radar of life. She makes Jane?s pain palpable and conveys her character?s inability to say no without making her look unappealing or weak. Marsden perfectly captures the part of a rumpled, underdressed writer with repressed passions, Akerman is as convincingly shrewish here as she was in The Heartbreak Kid, and Burns is fine as one of those guys so busy saving the world he barely pays attention to the people in his life. The script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) is fun if predictable, and Anne Fletcher?s direction is vibrant. --Tom Keogh
