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, Janes 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 latters superficial sister, Tess (Malin Akerman), pursues George (Edward Burns), Janes 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 hes 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 Janes pain palpable and conveys her characters 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 Fletchers direction is vibrant. --Tom Keogh

Customer ReviewsLighter version of In Her Shoes
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I really like this movie. It is light and breezy and it put me in mind of In Her Shoes with Toni Colette and Cameron Diaz. This movie was a little heavier but the storylines are similiar. At least to me they are. In fact, the scene when her self centered sister rips into her about the newspaper item she starts sounding as if she went to the Cameron Diaz school of acting. The actor who plays her (K. Heigel) love interest I enjoyed from his playing the prince in Enchanted. I kept waiting for him to either sing or say A Date! Whats a date? LOL!! I do recommend this movie as a buy.

Expected a lot more...very, very juvenile

Oh my, I dont know what happened here but it seems that Katherine Heigl lost her acting ability in this movie...I kept wondering how this could be the same actress thats on television every Thursday night. All of the acting in this movie was overdone. I was surprised at just how bad it all was....story, acting, directing. It was so predictable and the characters were so elementary. The saving grace and the only reason this got 2 stars from me (and the reason I continued to watch even after I realized how bad it was) was James Marsden. His acting was good and the guy is beyond gorgeous. I think he puts Pitt and Clooney to shame. Im surprised we havent seen him as a leading man in more movies. Im not sure that being able to look at this exceedingly handsome man for over an hour is enough to recommend the movie to anyone though. Very disappointing.

I bought this DVD as a Christmas gift for a 32 year old who saw the movie and enjoyed it enough that they want to have their own DVD of the movie. I also saw the movie and thought it was a very enjoyable romantic comedy.

Better than I hoped for!

Even though it arrived in a pink case that was badly cracked, I didnt mind as I just transfered the cover into another case. I decided to watch the movie during the day while I was ironing. Certain parts at the end made me a little teary, and think of my sister. I recommended it to 2 20-year old twins trying to grow up and relate to each other as individuals - they LOVED it to. They sat together shoulder to shoulder watching, laughing and even crying a bit. Good fun, I think a guy could watch it and be entertained also by some of the scenes that are so funny.
