Critics Consensus

The filmmakers perfectly follow the well-worn romantic comedy formula, rendering 27 Dresses clichéd and mostly forgettable.

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.

The redeeming thing - and it's really all in Heigl's performance - is that Jane knows she's a silly cliché, and spends most of the movie inwardly wincing at her own haplessness.

5/5

As a film, 27 Dresses is more character-driven, but it’s more than just a film about two people on a poster running into obstacle after obstacle on their way to falling in love.

A formulaic flop hog-tied by coincidences, contrivances and romantic-comedy clichés.

Jane always a bridesmaid never a bride. She goes above & beyond for her friends on their wedding day. Dreaming of the day she'll have the perfect wedding of her own. One of her favorite writers is Malcolm Doyle who has a cynical view of marriage. When she first meets him he's not completely honest. Her carefree sister breezes into town. As the movie progresses Jane's boss who she has a massive crush on has a meet cute with her sister Tess. George & tess after knowing each other for just a short while decide to get married. Jane of course will have to do all the planning for the wedding. After a sisterly fight Jane surprisingly sabotages her sisters pre-wedding party. The wedding is called off. As the story further progresses Jane & George see if they have any chemistry once Jane spills her guts to him about how she feels. There are no sparks. Instead she realizes she has feelings for Malcolm. It's a bittersweet romantic comedy. Definitely a chick flick. But fun to watch nonetheless.
