An Almost Perfect Fit: Review for "27 Dresses"

The new film with Hollywood's it girl, Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up, TV's Grey's Anatomy), is a cute and bubble movie about a girl who loves weddings. Jane is always a bridesmaid and never a bride. She has been a bridesmaid twenty-seven times and has the ridiculous looking dresses to pove it. She has been been secretly doting on her boss, and when she finally plucks up the courage to say something to him, her ditsy sister comes in and steals her. The two have a cute relationship, made up of her lies and his hard work. They decide to get married. Meanwhile, James Marsden (Hairspray, X-Men) plays a reporter who writes in the commitments section, going to weddings and engagements, offering cynicysism where it is warrented. But dee inside, he's absolutely sappy for weddings and falls in love with Kate. This is a cute romantic comedy with good acting all around, a tidy plot line, and dresses that are so appalling, they will make your jaw drop.

Grade: B+
