27 Dresses (2008)

Sick Product of a Sick System

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie was not that bad but okay to watch. In this story Jane has been bridesmaid for 27 times and helped all brides in their wedding plan. J A reporter who is Jane favorite too, secretly writes a report on her. and her sister weds Jane's boss but she had a secret crush on him. I think the movie is okay for one time watch.

"27 dresses" is a movie about a girl named Jane who loves to organize weddings for her friends. The last wedding that she takes on is her sister's Tess with Jane's boss, Gorge, with whom Jane is secretly in love with. Meanwhile, a cynical writer, Kevin, who is interested in Jane, covers Tess's wedding for the paper. The story is very entertaining and humorous, from the clever lines to the crazy scenes, especially the one in the bar. The soundtrack is great too. The journey that Jane takes until she finally takes the ranges of her life is filled with many ups and downs. Of course the ending is still predictable, but fortunately the film is of good quality and very interesting. The performances are good too. The whole atmosphere is a little "bridal", rosy and cheerful, but doesn't gets tiring. All in all, a nice movie that entertains without getting boring.

It's taken me four years to get around to watching this and then only because it was shown on television on a day when nothing much was happening. It was certainly watchable and had I seen it in a regular theatre I could have noted that it's enjoyable to watch but you forget it even as you walk down the aisle. It's one of those movies where reality is not allowed to intrude. Everyone is pretty, handsome, glamorous, everyone has a good job, fine apartments, can afford to take cabs everywhere and dine in expensive restaurants. No one has ever heard of food stamps and probably thinks Relief is what you get at a massage parlor. On the other hand it has laughter and tears and is undemanding. What can I tell you.

If you wish to see this movie please realize, first off, this is a romantic comedy, so nobody is hacked to death and nothing is blown up. There are no car chases, martial arts sequences or exploding nuns. Once you get past those flaws, omissions, oversights, restraints of budget, gaping plot holes, etc, you can enjoy this film, and I say this as a testosterone-driven politically incorrect man (I work out seven times a week, do martial arts, did a grad school history paper on the evils of outlawing prostitution, view most women as completely neurotic (do men send love letters to female serial killers?) and would like to remind you that in the mammal kingdom monogamy exists only once, that is in the vole, and only one type of vole not all of them) . The Plot: Katherine Hegel plays a woman who is super sweet, but a doormat. She is especially fond of weddings and has planned nearly thirty of them for friends., Michael Madsen is the weddings writer for The Times, there is a meet-cute (when the two romantic leads meet in a coincidental situation, e.g.: he rollerskates into her in the park, they both are carrying the same obscure novel and strike up a conversation) and they begin an odd relationship with plenty of bumps: her eco-friendly boss, bitchy cynical, morally compromised best friend, and bitchy self-involved HOT sister. Katherine Hegel plays a very convincing ignored sibling who always looks out for everyone else. Although the plot may be rudimentary (but what the hell, I'm fairly well-educated and liked 300) if you accept it for what it is, it is not so bad. Perhaps one of the hardest things for guys to do is show their emotions, and we have all experienced hurt or loss, so we can identify with both of the main characters. See this movie with this in mind, and you will not be disappointed. As to the critics, they are all about suffering and neurosis, but life sometimes has other, simpler things in store for us.
