Movie Review: 27 Dresses (2008)
Warning: Spoilers near the end.
I didn't care for this movie at all. Katherine Heigl, a formidable acrtress, plays a whiney girl who is so concerned with everyone else that she even lets her sister marry the man she's been in love with. Her sister is such a big bitch that you can see the breakdown coming from a mile away, but when it does, it's disappointing, and hardly seems worth the wait. The scene where the two sisters finally agrue feels real at first, but quickly dissolves into a feeling that you're watching a movie where the writer for it had no idea to get from point A to point C and thus skips point B entirely, as suddenly, the sister is understanding of the main character's plight. What follows is the ending that everyone is expecting to happen, although a kiss with the man she thought she loved is thrown in, I guess in some crass attempt to make us believe the main couple actually belong together. Ugh.
Conclusion: Unless you're a hopeless romantic who thinks any romance is worth your time, stay away from this one.
