27 Dresses

Always a brides maid, never a bride. That is the theme of this chick flick. I went and saw the sneak preview the other night. The entire theatre was female, wait I take that back, there was one lone man in a baseball cap near the top. I am certain he was dragged there by his, wife, girlfriend, or possibly daughters...and I feel for him. This movie is about Jane who has been not just a brides maid, but a maid of honor 27 times and she has the dresses to prove it. A wedding columnist discovers her unique perspective on weddings and begins to tail her.

27 Dresses starts out really well and you think that you are in for an hour and a half of fun and fluff, but then it takes a turn and tries desperately to be full of heart. It never really comes together as none of the characters, including Katherine Heigl, are very likeable. I didn't hate this movie, but it is by no means a memorable romantic comedy.
