Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Katherine Heigl is delightful as Jane, a self-effacing Gal Friday so addicted to organizing weddings in her off time, that i27 Dresses/i opens with her character juggling two nuptials on the same 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 situation is absurd, but the emotions are not. p/pHeigl is very good, rooted in a long tradition of comely comediennes playing characters who fly under the radar of life. She makes Jane's pain palpable and conveys her character's inability to say no without making her look unappealing or weak. Marsden perfectly captures the part of a rumpled, underdressed writer with repressed passions, Akerman is as convincingly shrewish here as she was in iThe Heartbreak Kid/i, and Burns is fine as one of those guys so busy saving the world he barely pays attention to the people in his life. The script by Aline Brosh McKenna (iThe Devil Wears Prada/i) is fun if predictable, and Anne Fletcher's direction is vibrant. i--Tom Keogh/i

Definately one for the girls. One of the best chick flicks ever created. August 13, 2008 Jane Doe (Seattle, WA USA) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful This movie has got to be one of the best girlie films ever. It is funny, moving with brilliant acting, especially by Katherine Heigl. This is the kind of film that you wouldn't really see with your parents but would be perfect for a slumber party or if you're hanging out with your friends. Yes, it is predicatable, but arent't all romantic films? br /In my opinion, definatley one for the movie cupboard. Modern Classic November 24, 2008 Paige Merlin (United Kingdom) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Katherine Heigl plays a brilliant love-sick assistant who is waiting in the wings for her boss to fall for her. I love her in Grey's Anatomy but have to admit not a fan of Knocked Up so was overjoyed that she fitted into her role in this film. Everyone else was excellent but you cannot sit through a rom-com if you don't like the central character. The only negative there can be about this film is the scene before the last, I won't ruin it, but the main male character's reaction should have been reworked. This however can not bring a good film too far down; especially as it has what I have been rooting for for ages- the female to male slap. Yes it sounds silly but in real life there are circumstances where women will more than willingly react by slapping a man and they deserve it. This action also marks the crescendo of emotion and without it there are plenty of scenes in other movies that just lose the momentum they have built up for a female character's anger. I think they cop out because women are supposed to be 'women', which as we have been trying to tell men for decades is wrong. And this part of the script just highlights the beauty of the entire film; its real and everyday in the sense of the characters even if the storyline is a one in a million. 27 dresses July 9, 2008 S.
