    Another load of chick flick fluff.

    Great movie. I love Heigel.

    as those who has an interest to read my reviews from time to time would sense that i'm far from fans of chic flicks, but ironically i'm writing about it now. perhaps i'm so much in a serious crisis with my jaded life of stillwater that i would grasp anything to cheer me with a li...( read more)veliness. like most movie buffs who are destined to have a sibling as a cheesy blockbuster fan, "27 dresses" reminds me of my adolescence, the forcefully confined time of sisterhood when your older sibling possessed the previledge to determine what songs to tune in the household radio and what movies to play in the living-room dvd machine, somehow when you fledge into a certain age to claim some amount of individuality, you go thru everything subversive to rinse off that timid agony of your always repressed self...i hate to admit "pretty woman" and "my best friend's wedding" were the mostly watched together movies in my family with my mom and sis...and "27 dresses" just conjures up such sort of memories within me so i could have an illusion to feel accompanied in my loneliest moment...

    there's nothing too surprising about "27 dresses", it's exactly that sort of story you could predict who's going to be with whom around 5 seconds while the protagonist is in the dillemma 99% of women would sympathesize with an "awww"....so it's about a woman who's been 27 times of bridesmaids of her friends's weddings until her secret crush is swooned away by her trampish sister who's rotten and spoilt...but the saving grace is the story has a basic ground of believabiility and humanness which wouldn't give you an impulse to slap those characters who seem to wander around a wonderland of their own luxurious lifestyle in the fine clothes and fancy dresses most people have an issue to afford. but personally i think the most creative idea of this movie is its poster of a woman with a cardboard dress awaiting to be filled in.

    Its cute for what it is. Amongst romantic comedies, it was fun to have a new storyline to follow even if you did see what was coming around each turn. No outstanding performances - just a purely fuff movie.

    Bland. Agonizing, flaccid, and about as romantic as bottle of flat champagne. A perfect example of the stereotypical Hollywood romantic comedies that Judd Apatow successfully disemboweled. Difficult to believe it was written by the scripter who penned The Devil Wears Prada...( read more). Its supposed feminism never gets past advocating a woman's right to literally chase after her dreamboat to ensure the attainment of her own perfect moment at the altar. Heigl deserves better than this.

    Like the movie when she tells each of the 27 bridemains dress stories to Brayan. Wear all of the bridemain dress to take each of the dress photo.

    Tbh, I skipped to the middle bit and started to watch from there...

Critic Reviews


January 23, 2008
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

27 Dresses is so flimsy it gives froth a bad name. full review

January 23, 2008
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Katherine Heigl carries 27 Dresses when all else fails, which it does with great regularity. full review

January 18, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Certainly Heigl fares better in less formulaic fare, such as Judd Apatow's irreverent Knocked Up, but she does raise the level of this chick flick from bland to mildly entertaining. full review

January 18, 2008
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

All the plot elements that we're encouraged to care about in 27 Dresses resolve in a dud, and the only thing that feels good about the feel-good finish is that it means the movie's over. full review

January 18, 2008
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

27 Dresses makes the point that modern American weddings are all pretty much alike. The same could be said about modern American romantic comedies.

January 18, 2008
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

The clichés, like the dresses, sashay in and out of this predictable if nicely fluffy chick-flick composite, which manages to crank out a few decent laughs when it isn't wasting time on a pair of dead... full review

January 18, 2008
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Familiarity may be the central attraction of both weddings and romantic comedies, but the creators of 27 Dresses have taken a good thing too far. full review

January 17, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Too bad they didn't accessorize it with more creativity. full review

January 16, 2008
Armond White, The New York Press

27 Dresses is totally phony. full review
