Yet another romantic comedy with a cutesy premise. We all know what this movie is about. You either want to see it or you don't. I could say how the humor was insightful, and the characters had depth, but would you believe me?

Funny and other than a few choice words, teens and adults can enjoy the laughs together. Good ending, strongly in favor of marriage and all the trimmings. :)

27 DRESSES - a review
Added 9/20/2009
Of course I love this delightful romantic comedy. I buy extra copies to give to friends. I played Mariella, the seamstress in the bridal shop scene when sisters Katherine (bridesmaid) and Malin (bride) disagree over what has become of their late mother's wedding dress. I worked as an extra, so I did not receive screen credit nor do I receive residuals, but it was a wonderful experience to work with Katherine, Malin, and director Anne. They're genuine, talented young ladies. Monica F. in Vermont

Loved the movie, especially the part where they sang Bennie and the Jets. It was light and happy and very cute. Good movie.

Bland Script, Filled with Cliches
Added 9/2/2009
Katherine Heigl plays Jane in this romantic comedy. She holds the so-so movie together - but it takes more than her natural acting ability and presence to make this movie's mojo. It could have been much better
27 Dresses is a bland story about a good, selfless, generous young woman who is a door mat to her friends, family and co-workers. This tale is how Jane finds true love. Jane is always the bridesmaid, never a bride - and has 27 dresses to prove it. Her closet is stuffed with eclectic colorful and themed bridesmaid's dresses. There is a series of clipped scenes of her putting on the dresses for a fashion show just for Malcom (James Marsden) the Bridal Fashion Report for the New York Journal. For some reason this reminded me of the 50's/60's Katy Keene comic book showing Katy in several far-out dresses in every issue.
Anyway... Jane lives in New York City, has a good job with a boss, George (Edward Burns), that she has a romantic interest in. Jane is also a "good girl" with many friends who keep her busy as a perennial bridesmaid/maid of honor. Jane also has a younger sister, Tess, (Malin Akerman) who is a spoiled pretty blond minx who is between jobs and needs a place to stay. She joins Jane at a party her boss also attends. Tess and Jane's boss hit it off - and it becomes serious. Soon Tess and George become engaged and plan a wedding - you guessed it - Jane is the Maid of Honor.
Malcolm (James Marsden) notices Jane at a wedding - amazed she is hopping cabs to be a bridesmaid at two weddings the same night. He writes a newspaper's wedding column and smells an interesting story brew. Malcom finds Jane's date book in one of the cabs she used to changes wedding attire and begins to shadow her for the story. He does not let Jane know that is why he is following her and eventually develops a romantic interest and wants to be with her. Jane is more interested in her boss, and ignores Malcolm but they eventually meet up, drive a car off the road in a rain storm, end up at a bar drunk and you can guess the rest.
Malcolm's boss prints his "draft" of the "perennial bridesmaid", which is Jane and Jane sees it the next morning - much drama follows but you can guess the ending.
