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.

WERE ANY OF YOU WATCHING THIS TRASH???. OMG this was just awful, watched it with my girlfriend one unlucky Friday night. The acting was so dreadful, didn't care about any of the characters and the whole thing was really contrived. Terrible movie which is a shame coming from the same people who brought us The Devil Wears Prada.
PS, guys do not get this for your woman unless she is OK with you vomiting.

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 an embarrassing and totally gratuitous public declaration of undying affection? I don't know that the story-telling is convincing either - the hero isn't likeable enough, and there isn't enough depth to his character and I'm not convinced that there's a 'happily ever after' for these two characters - so in the end I didn't get the 'feel good buzz'.
Having said that I thought Katherine Heigl was great, her ditsy sister and her boss are just wonderful! If you can suspend belief just a little more than I could you'll probably love this film. For me, despite the flaws there was enough for it to be good movie, just not a great movie!

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 Heigl recovers nicely from this and her conniving sister who steals her boss by using the inside info on him she obtains from Heigl.Is all doomed for the delightful Heigl?Will she always be just the bridesmaid? Well...a strange thing happens and....you will have to get the movie from amazon to find out.
