 chick flick July 1, 2008
ok, it has a cute story line, nothing spectacular but a decent chick flick in itself.
 Loved it June 28, 2008
I wasn't expecting much from what seemed like a predictable movie from the commercials but I was very pleasantly suprised! It was so cute and funny. I watched it twice on DVD.

DRESSED TO KILL June 27, 2008

On occasion a movie comes out that is totally predictable, leaving few if no surprises for a viewer. But the one thing about it that most people never mention is...who cares? Such is the case with 27 DRESSES.
Katherine Heigl stars as Jane Nichols, an over efficient right hand for publisher George (Ed Burns). Jane also happens to be the perpetual always a bridesmaid never a bride friend. She organizes and officiates weddings for all of her friends, performing all tasks to a T.
The thing is Jane has a major crush on her boss George. And George never looks at Jane in that way. He does, however, feel the onset of love at first site when he gets a glimpse of Jane's sister, Tess (Malin Akerman). Tess is visiting and without having a clue how Jane feels, ends up romantically involved with George.
Tossed into this mix is Kevin Doyle (James Marsden), a wedding reporter for the New York Journal who longs to write more meaningful stories. When he bumps into Jane at a wedding (one of two she's handling the same night) he accidentally comes into possession of her notebook containing all the information on her many social duties. Seeing a story, he pitches it to his editor and gets the go ahead.
The usual romantic comedy ensues, with George and Tess getting closer as Jane watches on, everyone oblivious to her feelings. The self centered Tess lies to George to get the guy, Jane covers for her and Kevin covers the story of the wedding after George proposes.
Jane is the good girl, the one who can never say no. As she sees her dreams being crushed, she also finds herself attracted to Kevin, unknowingly of course. The feelings between the two deepen, but the untold truths between both couples will come round front and center with dire consequences.
The movie follows a fairly stereotypical set up and continues through to the very end. But it's not the newness of the story that brings us round to watch this film, it's the telling of the tale.
Heigl and Marsden do a great job as the off kilter couple who struggle until the final reel to find one another. Malin turns in a good performance as well as the selfish sister who seems to think only of number one. Burns does the same thing he does in all performances, making it seem easy.
Perhaps this movie plays like an episode of any number of TV sitcoms that have aired for years. But it still offers plenty of fun, plenty of laughs and enough romance to keep everyone interested. It's not Shakespeare but it never claims to be. Instead, it's a nice movie that is perfect for a couple's night at home.
