In a Nutshell:Jane (Katherine Heigl) has practically made a job out of attending weddings as a bridesmaid; she relishes the joy and romance of the celebration. When her little sister Tess (Malin Akerman) returns from overseas and woos the man Jane is secretly in love with, she rethinks her always-a-bridesmaid life. With reporter Kevin (James Marsden) who won’t take no for an answer and Tess who demands Jane plan her wedding, she starts to realise that she should change her overly-generous nature.
What’s Good:
The movie begins quite quickly with not much opening, which is a good way to start. The fast-paced nature of 27 Dresses ensures that you don’t get bored – unless romantic comedies aren’t your thing. Heigl, of course, is amazing and pulls off the plethora of hideous dresses with a style you have got to admire.
What’s Bad:
If you’re looking for a movie with unexpected twists and turns, I’d probably look elsewhere. It’s your typical romantic comedy, albeit done in the least painful manner. Marsden does a convincing job of a hard-hitting journalist, however his character lacks the depth we need to buy his role completely.
The added 2 cents:
Malin Akerman is bratty, self-absorbed, borderline-psychotic and downright irrepressible in her role as younger sister Tess, not unlike her role in The Heartbreak Kid (opposite Ben Stiller) where she is also bratty, self-absorbed and the rest. I guess if the phrase is anything to go by, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
