Summary: Very cute, fun and upbeat movie!
Comment: Loved this movie!! It was a very cute romantic comedy. I'm very surprised at the negative reviews as I thought this movie actually stood out as fresh and new compared to other romantic comedies. This is the movie to watch when you want to relax and just have a little fun! The part where Kevin and Jane sing Bennie and the Jets is amazing!!!

Summary: Cute romantic comedy
Comment: Really cute and not too heavy romatic comedy starring Katherine Heigl (beautiful actress with the most expressive eyes I have not seen in an actress for a very long time). Comedy is about a girl who is always a bridesmade and never the bride in spite of her honesty, punctuality and ability to take care of everyone. She is desparately in love with her boss, until her sister falls for the same guy. Her impulsive affair with the local journalist turns out to be the real love regardless of the fact that he may be less than a perfect man she was hoping to meet. Great movie to relax and just have fun. Definitely a chick flick.

Summary: More like A "Lifetime For Women" Movie, Blah!
Comment: This movie certainly isn't worth buying. I wouldn't have been happy paying for it in the theater either. Luckily, I watched a friends copy.
What a bust!!! This movie is a weak story, with everything predictable. I was very disappointed. Save your money.

Summary: Girls
Comment: This is certainly a chick flick. Though rated PG-13 it is not family friendly. A fair amount of sexual talk and situations. To quickly sum up the movie, a woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times and loves weddings, also loves her great boss. When she is finally ready to tell him, her younger gorgeous sister shows up and wins his heart. Meanwhile a wedding writer for the local paper shows up and really aggravates her at first. But...can you guess what happens? The story is cute and Katherine Heigl is actually very charming and keeps the story moving well. It is all rather predictable and there is nothing really outstanding about this film. It is a decent film if you wife or girlfriend want a film to watch. For most men, it will be a bit of a labor.

Summary: Super girlie, but I enjoyed it
Comment: Hey, What can I say. This fills your girl flick urge. Not the best one in any way, but totally enjoyable to give yourself over to for its duration. The characters were likable and you ended up feeling good in the end. And that is the point of these, right?

Editorial Reviews:

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
