There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Your enjoyment of this film rests squarely on one thing - can you ignore the fact that the main female character is actually a horrible person? Judging by the positive comments about this film and the box office takings people clearly can, and that's largely down to the performance given by Julia Roberts.Away from that though this film is only half decent. It's a bit slow and none of the characters are that endearing. Throw in some weird jokes, an odd musical sing a long and some paint by numbers supporting characters and apparently that's all you need.Julia Roberts is a shining light in another wise forgettable film.

Julia Roberts is dangerously insane in this classic 90's rom-com. Replete with sassy gay friend and spontaneous group song numbers, you already know if you will like this movie.The movie ominously opens with the 1964 hit song "Wishing and Hoping", instructing young women they must be subservient to get married. At the start of the story you may be inclined to see the actions of the main character as humorous antics. But as the story wears on it will become apparent that her self-centered mania seriously hurts everyone around her. Prepare to be disappointed by the male lead, whose open-mouthed stares were the height of fashion at a time when Keanu Reeves ruled the big screen. The movie ends with the antagonist laughing and dancing. Perhaps because she's so pretty, no one holds her responsible for all the pain she caused or even the felonies she committed.

I love this movie so much I saw (my best friend's wedding) many times. It's The best comedies i have seen. Julia Roberts Was Amazing,Jealous and smart I have a little bit of her personality. This movie released before i born . Cameron Diaz proved that she can't sing very well, my ears has Bled when i hear her voice when she was sing. If i will be actress , i will play Julianne's role. Rupert Everet is Charismatic person, I can't forget his role , in the end he came to Julianne and appeared his love for her, She deserve him " Say a little prayer for you was amazing, history of his engagement with Julia was fantastic. Buy The CD For this Beautiful movie and enjoy it

This was a pretty good romantic comedy, though two things bothered me about it. Our heroine is Julia Roberts. Heroine??? She's actually being quite despicable in this role -- actively deceiving everyone in an attempt to steal a man who is "her best friend" from his fiancé, a rather sweet person, even though she had years to marry the guy! And, to a large extent, her actions are simply out of spite. I guess her turn for the better in the climax is supposed to restore her goodness to our eyes...but it didn't quite work for me. The other issue I had about the movie was that it seemed long, although it comes in at only 105 minutes...and I'm not quite sure what I would have edited out. Maybe it was just my mood that evening.Now despite my reservations, I still classify this as a pretty good film. Perhaps more because of the acting than the plot. Let's face it, Julia Roberts -- nice or not -- is pretty hard to beat. I was pleasantly surprised by Dermot Mulroney; I never paid him much attention, but he is REALLY good here! It almost seemed as he was living the part, rather than acting it. Cameron Diaz is surprisingly charming here as the fiancé; perhaps we have typecast her in other types of roles; I enjoyed her performance. And, Rupert Everett is along as the "heroines" best gay friend...I think he had a copyright on that kind of role. And the supporting cast does very nicely, although no one stands out (but there is an early role here as a bellboy for Paul Giamatti).Is this a great film? No. But it's good. Definitely worth a watch...at least according to its nearly $300 million box office.
