    Absolutely fucking awful! Everyone who worked on this film should be ashamed of themselves!

    actually solid romantic comedy with atypical ending for this sort of film. most guys may not like it but m kind of a sucker for julia roberts.

    Juliann (Julia) doesn't want to see her best friend Michael (Dermot) marry Kimmy (Cameron) as she is in love with him. She does everything she can to humiliate her love rival. I love the singing scenes. Rupert and Cameron are hilarious. Great cast and plot.

    My Best Friend's Wedding, is one of my favorite Julia Roberts movies. Julia plays a very long time friend with Dermot Mulroney. They both make a pack that when turning 30 if they are not married to marry one another.....Julia finds out that her friend is getting married to anothe...( read more)r and that she must stop it since she is ms. right.....the beginning musical number for the credits is very cute along with the funny dinner scene with the wedding partys singing "I Say A Little Prayer For You"...it is too funny.

    Pangs of emotional heartbreak. Its a great movie if you like to have your heart broken.

    "I Say a Little Prayer" is a song written by songwriters Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick in 1967. It is often named in error as "I Say a Little Prayer for You". The song has also appeared in many films, being featured prominently in the comedy My Best Friend's Wed...( read more)ding in 1997, which featured both a cover by Diana King and a version sung by the film's cast, and also parodied in the later film Date Movie.

    Never could finish it. Not because it was bad or anything, rather because I would find something better haha.

    I pretty much love this just because of Rupert Everett. If he wasn't in this I'd probably be like... what a manipulative bitch, then turn it off. lol. Harsh.
  • November 6, 2009
    yea...maybe my best friend but i would never try to get him back..

    It was cute and sad at the same time.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Roberts puts her heart into this one. Audiences are likely to return the favor. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The screenplay has never been on autopilot; it just fooled us into thinking it was, in order to sneak up on the unpredictability. full review
