I watch Grey's Anatomy every week so I guess I'm a bit of a Katherine Hiegel fan. I liked her in Knocked Up and she's decent in this film. In fact the whole cast is quite good. I just felt like I had seen this film before somewhere (or parts of it in different films). I guess I watched it because I'm getting married soon so I wanted to see the dresses in the film (and there are some amazing ones and some interesting ones for those who care about dresses). The audience didn't seem to laugh as much as I thought they would. This is not the same kind of film as Knocked Up and maybe people were expecting that. Otherwise, its a decent Tuesday-night date movie.

Jane (Katherine Heigl) has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself. Her entire life has been about making people happy -- and she has a closet full of 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it. One memorable evening, Jane manages to shuttle between wedding receptions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, a feat witnessed by Kevin (James Marsden), a newspaper reporter who realizes that a story about this wedding junkie is his ticket off the newspaper's bridal beat.

Jane finds Kevin's cynicism counter to everything she holds dear -- namely weddings, and the two lock horns. Further complicating Jane's once perfectly-ordered life is the arrival of younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman). Tess immediately captures the heart of Jane's boss, George (Edward Burns). Tess enlists her always-accommodating sister to plan yet another wedding -- Tess and George's -- but Jane's feelings for him lead to shocking revelations... and maybe the beginning of a new life. Very dry but still good. 27 Dresses 5/10

As a romantic comedy, it does have all the lame cliches that are so cringe worthy you will feel embarrassed even if you watch it alone. Why are weddings that important, in late 2000s rom-coms especially? And the need of all the dresses, really? To be a bridesmaid to so many people, is she like professional one or just stupid? Is it all necessary? Even by the title with ~27~ dresses you already know this one will be bad. Not to mention the plot summary... I just had to watch this nonsense expecting it to be like a parody worth at least 2 stars or something, but no.

Lacking common sense and intelligent writing, some people will find this movie entertaining, even good. So don't be discouraged!

Acting is bad, script is bad, jokes are bad... Avoid it, or turn it on if you want your partner to say that you should do something else.
