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 wasn't a fan of these 2 actors until I saw this DVD. I read the review and people trash it as a chick flick so I didn't want to watch it. Since I watch Katherine from "Grey's..." so I want to see how she is doing in Big screen.
She was great, very sharp and funny in this movie. People don't make fun of Audrey Hepburn as chick flicks and called them "classic". We don't have to wait till the actress/actor dies till we can call it classic.
The idea of bridesmaid is typical but HOW they (the whole cast, producers) made it into an enterntaining movie is GREAT! The chemistry, conflict and "war" betwwen Mr Mardsen and Ms. Heigl are right on.
I think it will be a classic 30, 40 years from now.

I ordered this film over a month ago with hopes of giving it as a Christmas present. I received every other item I ordered from Amazon, even things ordered as recently as two weeks ago, but still no movie. I don't know if it is laziness or stupidity but it is annoying as hell when it takes this long to receive an item.
I'll watch this one again! December 16, 2008
I loved this movie and had to have it on DVD! Such a cute movie! The quintessential romantic comedy!
It's all been done before December 10, 2008
In a few words, this movie is a ruffle-y, predictable chick flick.
Here's the skinny: Jane (Katherine Heigl) has been a bridesmaid 27 times. She's kept every one of her dresses, and she reads the "Commitments" section of the NY Journal with relish. She dreams of the day when she will walk down the aisle herself, wearing her mother's wedding gown and marrying George, her hunky boss at work (Edward Burns). Enter Tess, Jane's hot sister. It's nearly love at first sight for Tess and George, and Jane shortly finds herself planning their wedding. Ouch.
Then Jane meets Kevin Doyle (James Marsden), a writer for the "Commitments" section of the journal. (You see where this is going.) As Jane learns to finally start saying "no" to people and stand up for what she wants and needs, she discovers her affection for Kevin. Pretty soon, she's planning her own happily ever after.
Mmmmkay. This movie is sweet and trite. It's not BAD, per se, but it's all been done before, kwim? I noticed a while back that, in most of his films, Marsden never gets the girl? I think I get it now. He is too physically perfect. Stay with me here. There's nothing "off" about him - no slightly crooked nose, no patchy skin, no scars, nothing. You'd think this would be a tremendous advantage, right? But I find that little imperfections are often what make a face attractive and, well, interesting. So, sorry James, but I think you might be too pretty to really be a leading man we can all love. *Gasp.*
