27 Dresses (Widescreen Edition)

The product was awesome, and it came packaged just fine. So I had no problem playing it. And it was very enjoyable movie.

This is a super cute movie. I think that it is a must have in anyone's movie collection.

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.

If you love comey, romance, and happy endings you will love this movie. I bought it an since I've had it I played it like 10 times. i love this movie. I would buy it again.

I loved this movie. While it is predictible, Heigl is wonderful at moving on from her "crush" and finds love in an unexpected place. She still cares enough for her sister and her boss to set things straight, even though it seems crazy. She finally stands up as a bridesmaid and does the right thing by saying "no". Marsden is brilliant and lights up the screen! I wish he would be in more movies; he's a great actor! This movie is sure to lift you up as it did to me!
