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

Customer Reviews

Great Shower Gift!
I purchased this DVD along with three others as a shower gift for a friend/co-worker. It is a cute movie, pretty funy, has a little language and inuendo in it, but nothing too horrible.
I think there are plenty of movies out there that are much, much better of course - but I purchased this in the spirit it was meant - fluffy, funny, easy to watch, and good for a group.

27 Dresses (DVD)
VERY cute movie !!!
Great acting, superb costuming, cute twists and turns...
Highly Recommended.....

Too MUCH in life is UNPREDICTABLE. I LOVED IT!
I AM a husband and father, and I could care less if a movie is "predictable" or not. Too many wanna be critics here adopt the typical critics skepticism and puffed up attitudes when they rate a movie or a book. 27 Dresses made some great memories and bonding moments between my wife and I, and our 15 year old daughter who is racing all too fast towards womanhood, relationships and leaving the nest. Moments like what 27 Dresses brought to our home are way too rare. It was daughter Erin who told us about it, and predictable as it was, we love it each time we watch it!!
