there's a desire to see their characters displaced into a better film with more on its mind than to be better than it should be because of its casting director.

Well cast, slickly produced and performed with enough spirit to somewhat counterbalance its frequently stupendous lack of originality and plausibility. Still not quite good enough, though...

Hugely enjoyable, frequently funny romantic comedy with a superb script and a terrific central performance from Katherine Heigl.

There are only a few moments that feel genuine and allow Katherine Heigel to smile. 27 Dresses is chock-full of cheese and eventually runs out of material.

This movie isn't anything special, but it's well done and generally pleasing. It's a nice, subtle and safe romantic comedy that will please fans of the genre.

27 Dresses can be worked out just like a long division problem. The story offers up the problem and then it just works its way out to the perfect mathematical solution in the end.

Writer Aline Brosh McKenna's latest effort instructs women to be doormats for men who treat them like crap, because heaven forbid they wind up never getting married.

Much like her character in Knocked Up, Heigl here just can't seem to keep her distance from guy trouble or her libido in check, every time she hits the booze at a convenient bar in the vicinity.

It’s 'chick flicks' like this that give all chick flicks a bad name.

This film uses the same formula, but it executes the formula better than most other romantic comedies do.

Is Katherine Heigl the new Meg Ryan? The fitfully entertaining 27 Dresses suggests just that.

Katherine Heigl proves she deserves leading-lady status in this predictable but entertaining romantic comedy...
