Challenges "The Notebook" for all-time worst movie. The film equivalent of watching Britney Spears manager her life; which is to say, a train wreck. Like a burning accident, however, I watched it till the end.

What a waste of time! Implausible plot, ridiculous dialogue, and not a single relationship that rings true. Knocked Up this ain't.

My gf is a real romantic comedy buff and she even said it was lame. The movie is just too long for such a predictable plot, weird characters that don't belong, and slow to get to the point. Also, much less funnier than the trailer. Trust me , don't waste you cash, I did.

The first 10 minutes are funny, the rest of the two hours are just plain boring. I have never walked out of a movie, however, this one came really close. Save 10 bucks and watch another movie. Your date will be falling asleep before the movie ends.

Utterly predictable. Cringingly not funny. Uses every cliché known to lazy scriptwriters. I'm sure I came out more stupid than I went in.

Cliche and passable at best. It's everything you would expect (or feared). A giggle or two can be found, but outside of that, hardly worth the price of admission.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every once and awhile I will give into my wife’s request to watch some girlie movie she wants me to watch. Every single Valentine’s Day from the time we first started dating, has been spent watching some eye gougingly bad movie that she enjoys and I can’t stand. Often times it is preceded by her telling me that she thinks I’ll like it…she has been wrong every time. This is one of those movies she begged me to see for so long and said I would like. Oh how wrong she was…how very…very…wrong. Thirty something Jane, (Katherine Heigl, played to her usual annoying fervor) is always a bridesmaid and never a bride. One wedding after another she is in the wedding party of a friend and its starting to get on her nerves. She is hopelessly in love with her boss (Edward Burns) and has her younger sister, Tess (Malin Akerman) coming to visit. That same sister seduces that same boss and lies the whole time while doing it and ends up getting engaged to him with the wedding happening in three weeks time. Through this all, a writer named Kevin (James Marsden), who is cynical about love of course, meets Jane at one of her many weddings and is covering the engagement of George and Tess. But unbeknownst to Jane, this never happens in these types of movies, he’s really doing a story on Jane and her many bridesmaid dresses, because he found and looked in her planner. Jane can’t stand Kevin (which never means they’ll end up together) and watch her one true love go off with her spoiled sister. Heard this story before? That’s because it’s been told a thousand times already with whoever the latest popular actress is. The problem is, it has been done better. Why is Katherine Heigl even a star, will somebody please explain that to me? Her mannerisms are beyond annoying, her whiny voice assaults the ears like a wounded cat coughing up a hairball full of sandpaper and she is moderately pretty, only to drop a few notches once she opens her mouth. James Marsden is better than this, only problem with him is that he can be a star but keeps picking the wrong roles. And Edward Burns must have just needed some spending money. This movie is sooooo lame. The best thing about it is it gave me another article to write. Everything is predictable, every single thing. The male lead thinks marriage is dumb and love is even dumber, but wait about 45 minutes, ‘cause he’ll change his mind. In this movie, it’s because there was one drunken night of sex with Jane and that makes him rearrange his thoughts on love and marriage. That is extremely insulting to the audience. It isn’t a sacrificial circumstance or a heartfelt change of mind, but the fact that they ended up in bed together. This isn’t the only thing wrong with this character. He was hired for a specific job, but the entire time he is complaining about that job to his boss and whining about it, all because he thinks he’s better than that and should be doing something different. He thinks he should be doing what he wants, not the job he is paid to do. Then get a different job you gamook! Find someone hiring for that position and present your supposed skills in this area and let the hiring party decide if you are worthy or not. I can’t stand this in movies! They took every romantic comedy cliché and slapped it together to make this trash. The musical montage of trying on clothes, the group sing along, the misunderstanding between the two leads that you can see coming a mile away, the mad dash of the lead actress to wherever the lead actor is to tell him she loves him and then having that speech in front of a huge crowd, blah, blah, blah. Why does Hollywood think this is all that love really is? No sacrifice, no real change in perception, well, not without sex anyway. One character does get a much-needed comeuppance moment, but it doesn’t redeem the movie at all. In the end Jane finally gets her wedding and the audience has already checked out and could care less. Thanks Abby for stealing another few hours of my life.… Expand

I saw this with my friend, and we enjoyed it quite a lot. Yes, it's predictable because it is a romantic comedy. But let me say this, it was not as cheesy or stupid as it could have been. It felt semi-realistic. And more importantly, it made me laugh. Oh yea, and we were glad she ended up with the much cuter journalist.

"27 Dresses", for one tantalizing moment, gets nasty, gets mean; it tampers with the romantic/comedy formula, and gets real. At a bridal shower, the sibling rivalry between both sisters reaches its apex when Jane(Katherine Heigl) humiliates Tess(Malin Akerman) with a vengeance that's cathartic for moviegoers who've sat through too many predictable romantic/comedies such as "27 Dresses". If this movie about a perpetual bridesmaid had the conviction to aggravate Jane's festering wound rather than fix it up with a salve, "27 Dresses" would've been an unqualified artistic success, a triumph of art over commerce. But alas, Tess behaves contritely towards her big sis after their public implosion that's antithetical to her self-absorbed persona. "27 Dresses" bends, but doesn't break genre expectations. It's disappointing. It's dishonest. And the audience won't buy it. "27 Dresses" is a prime example of how focus groups can destroy the artistic integrity of a film. They say that a zebra doesn't change its stripes, except...in movies. Isn't liking the protagonist enough. Heigl is wonderful in her first star-vehicle? Do we have to like Tess, too?… Expand

I thought this was a lot better than many romantic comedies. The acting was perfectly decent and the plot fair. Way better than the Wedding Crashers which got better reviews.

I loved this movie, predictable but a true funny, warm and adorable chick flick.

It's a romantic comedy, of course it's supposed to be formula! I went into the cinema fully expecting fluff and froth, and so I wasn't disappointed when I left it. Katherine Heigl was luminous and - although swallowing the idea of someone as beautiful and intelligent as her as a dowdy wallflower is almost impossible - almost believable. James Marsden's charm made his character likable despite everything. Despite the cliches, I still had a good time watching.… Expand

Ok so I loved this movies so much. i got hooked in the begging and loved it. the sex content was a little bad but did not take away from the movie.

I thought it was tremendous fun.

Light.

Predictable, but surprisingly funny. Used nearly cliche in the book. The end really made me mad though.

I watched this back to back with Enchanted on an airplane. Guess what? Enchanted, with the talking cartoons was actually the better movie. Strangely both featured an actor / actress from Grey's Anatomy. Apparently having left the safe confines of Seattle Grace, Katherine Heigl is neither as sweet nor as charming as she is on the show. I felt that her character wasn't innocent enough to warrant the sympathy, nor was she sarcastic enough to be funny. The ending was clever, but the rest of the plot was only middling at best. Watch only if your strapped onto a chair for a intercontinental flight, and all other options are exhausted.… Expand

Follows a tried and true romantic comedy formula, but has enough realism and decent acting to keep it going. The audience seemed to laugh in all the right places, and everyone walked away with a smile. Can't ask much more than that these days.

My girlfriend decided she wanted to see this movie, and naturally I was brought along expecting to have to endure a couple hours of a trite, predictable movie. My initial impressions of the movie turned out to be correct (mainly the predictability), but I was surprised by the fact that I ended up somewhat enjoying the movie. Though my opinion of the movie is probably augmented due to the fact that the last movie I saw before it was One Missed Call (ugh).… Expand

Me and my wife saw it for valentines. Overall we really enjoyed the movie. Acting was decent and charming. There were some interesting characters. I found Jane's friend, Judy Greer, made the movie for me.

Went to see it with my girlfriends. I laughed quite a bit. Predictable yes but much funnier than I anticipated. Well worth $8.50 was the general consensus of 6 thirtysomething former bridesmaids.

This was the perfect date movie for us. Her situation was was but the expressive acting (e.g. stuffing her mouth full of food, his facial expressions) were just what we needed. It was humorous and engaging with plot twists to boot. It also didn't have overflowing sexuality which was refreshing.

The movie was average, neither good nor bad. I enjoyed Katherine Heigl's acting. I predict that she will soon join other actresses such as Reese Witherspoon as America's Sweethearts. Although both Heigl and co-star James Marden were enjoyable, I felt that this movie was too predictable. Everything happened just as one would have suspected. Loved the stars, not so much the plotline.

I enjoyed the film tremendously. The performances by Katherine Heigl and Judy Greer are wonderful. Funny, touching and very entertaining. Ok, it is predictable, but it works.

Heigl is not believable as the lonely single girl pining away for her oblivious boss--she's way too attractive! Her monstrous sister suddenly turning into the model of common sense at the end completely turned me off and ruined what little ending there was. Can chick flicks not insult our intelligence???

Funny how all the crappy people gave it a 4 or less and all the real people did 6 and up. Let's you know just how 'hard' our world has become. We need more movies like this. Calm, sweet, comedic and warm. Predictable, yes....a sweet love story usually means someone will fall in love....but then again we all know what's going to happen in a slasher movie or a end of the world saga. Katherine ROCKS!… Expand

It's a cute enough movie to watch every now and then. It wasn't superb, it wasn't terrific, but it wasn't horrible. All in all, it is generally a movie with mixed emotions, but with cute scenes. It's good, but comedy is also limited.

Of course it was predictable, it's a romantic comedy. It was one of the best written in the genre that I've seen in years.

A middle-of-the-road romantic comedy for me, though my wife enjoyed it considerably more. Acting wasn't bad, but the attempts at humor didn't resonate with me. Again, though, my wife (and a female friend) both found this movie quite funny. It was worth the time and money, but it's not near my favorite romantic comedy.

Heigl is for me the closest thing to Julia Roberts since Reese Witherspoon ala sweet home Alabama. Heigl makes an honest impression on you but unlike many other actresses shes not forgettable hope to her blossom with grace... Marsden is lone overdue for a leading role a shame his role was sort of bland.

With little imagination (think “The Wedding Planner”), screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and director Anne Fletcher have made an agreeable romantic comedy. What makes “27 Dresses” stand out – or at least palatable – within this crowded genre is a winning performance by Katherine Heigl, who sometimes makes you forget that this sort of thing has been done before.

very emotional, cry a lot, and katherine is great. it was predicted as all romantic movies, but it is unique, in dialogue and direction. I love it!

Despite the cliche and ridiculous. But somehow it works for me. At least entertaining. Good chemistry from Katherine Heigl and James Marsden. It tell us, the world don't suck up, there's still something call love.

Katherine Heigl gives a very impressive and funny performance, but sadly it is a romantic comedy and they usually fall for the basic formula and you know everything that is going to happen and it soon becomes boring. I give this movie 15%.

This has everything my wife loves - Ed Burns and weddings. That doesn't bother me - but being played all Thanksgiving weekend long - does. I've lost patience watching the bubblegum chickflix and shows I've experienced in our relationship. Sadly, she doesn't understand how or why I don't want to watch them with her. As annoying as Heigl can be, she is good in this genre and plays the selfless, meek sister who finds her voice 17 minutes before the film ends perfectly. Malin Ackerman is the consolation for the men dragged to this film - but we all know we'd rather see her as the Silk Spectre.… Expand
