27 Dresses

Katherine Heigl’s first outstanding movie performance was in Knocked Up.  Her latest movie, 27 Dresses, was even better than her summer hit.  She is sure to become a solidified movie star with this awesome movie.

The main character, Jane (Heigl), is addicted to being in weddings.  She has been in 27 weddings, and keeps all of the ridiculous dresses in a closet.  Her obsession with weddings is kind of weird; she even cuts out wedding announcements from the newspaper and keeps them.  Her love of weddings, coupled with her pushover tendencies, make Jane unable to say no to any wedding.  She is asked to be in the wedding of the man she loves and her sister, and she accepts.  This becomes quite a problematic situation, and Jane struggles to cope.

This movie is very enjoyable.  It has its touching chick flick moments, but it’s mostly light-hearted and funny. Katherine Heigl is a really talented actress, and she is perfect in her role.  The leading man, James Marsden, is also fun to watch; this role is very different from his last few roles in Hairspray and Enchanted.  This is one of the better romantic comedies we’ve seen in a while!

 Go see 27 Dresses for a fun girls night out, because it probably won’t be at the top of any guy’s “to see” list.  You’ll really enjoy it!
