Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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

I SAW THIS MOVIE IN TE CAR ON MU FRIENDS IPOD GOING TO MOVIE WORLD AND IT WAS GREAT. IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS AND DRSSES AND PARTIES AND THAT'S ME!!!!!!! ... COMPLEYTLY!!!!!!!
AND IF THAT'S YOU THEN WATCH THIS WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND ON A SLEEPOVER!!!!!! COOL!




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Flawed, but very watchable.
I enjoyed this movie enough to give it 4 stars despite the shortcomings I'm going to mention below: the plot is OK, but poorly executed either by the script or by the direction - I can't decide which. There's a corny flashback which sets up the story of Jane discovering her vocation in life - to help other people get married, and so avoid living for herself -which is just not convincing enough. Neither is the diabolical denouement - what, oh what possesses writers to put their characters through ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not bad at all
Well, being a guy I don't normally watch this kind of film (I like Die Hard, the Batman films & the such) but I rented this recently for me & my gf to watch & for a romantic film it wasn't bad at all.

I won't tell you what you probably already know (in regards to the story) so I will just get on with the other things. For a romantic flick, it did feel more grown up than other ones although there were quite some crude words used which felt thrown in for no apparent reason, though it seems ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 27 dresses!!! WOW
a wonderfull movie, a real good sleepover movie! i loved it, its a great classic and a must have comedy romance



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Much better than her last film
Heigl is a delight to watch in this film.Entirely credible as a "good egg" sort of girl who helps out at all her friends' weddings,gamely handling lots of annoying things to help out and being the perennial bridesmaid,while harboring a crush for her boss,who only sees her as his assistant and nothing more.She finally runs into a seemingly cynical wedding reporter who makes fun of her and embarrasses her by writing and publishing her story of being a bridesmaid at 27 weddings and keeping all the dresses.But ...
