27
Dresses - On Sale: $19.99
Katherine
Heigl is delightful as Jane, a self-effacing Gal
Friday so addicted to organizing weddings in her
off time, that 27 Dresses opens with her character
juggling two nuptials on the night. A perpetual
bridesmaid, Jane's hobby is discovered by a matrimony
reporter named Kevin (James Marsden), who hides
a romantic side behind his wall of cynicism. While
Kevin gradually develops feelings for Jane, the
latter's superficial sister, Tess (Malin Akerman),
pursues George (Edward Burns), Jane's boss and
the object of her love. This romantic circle could
go on forever, except that Jane is unexpectedly
moved by Kevin despite her general irritation
with him and without knowing that he's on the
verge of sandbagging her with a ridiculing article
in his newspaper. The script by Aline Brosh McKenna
(The Devil Wears Prada) is fun if predictable,
and Anne Fletcher's direction is vibrant. --Tom
