This week's theme of Tuesday Couch Potatoes is about wedding. My first choice would be Father of the Bride but somebody already features this so I'll settle with 27 Dresses- a girl who always a bridesmaid but never as a bride, not yet.
Jane (Katherine Heigl) is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless...a perennial bridal attendant whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) captures the heart of Janes' big boss with whom she's secretly in love, Jane begins to reexamine her always-a-bridesmaid lifestyle.
The movie is great- it features James Marsden (a fine man who looks good in sneakers) and Katherine Heigl who is a pleasure to watch, as she has the kind of crowd-pleasing, no-nonsense presence that could ground any film, so 27 DRESSES greatly benefits from her comedic skill and charm. While the film features all of the hallmarks of chick flick fare (wacky best friend, dress-up sequence, obnoxious but strangely attractive love interest) the story often veers into territory that may leave some feeling it stretches even the romantic comedy standards for suspension of disbelief. Heigl deserves comparisons to Julia Roberts for her sheer likability, and like PRETTY WOMAN, women will likely watch 27 DRESSES as a pleasant diversion--aware of the fantasy, but still delighted by the attractive lady in the different outfits.
One thing I learned from this movie- Learn to say "NO"!
