Reviews for My Best Friend's Wedding
The film's brazen amorality gradually freezes the smile on your face.
02/09/06
Echoes of Roberts' personal life slop over into the plot with the alacrity of a foot fungus doing the two-step in the locker room of a high school gym.
01/01/00
A screwball comedy that's decidedly lacking in screwballs.
01/01/00
A disappointment.
01/01/00
An uneasy mix of well-realized humor and unrealized sadness.
01/01/00
[An] obtuse, prettily decorative comedy.

Top CriticThe draggy narrative of this 1997 comedy is tough to sit through -- there are even several overproduced musical numbers -- but it does have an intriguing subversive element that I don't want to give away.
02/03/09
Top CriticIs there a more charisma-bereft actor in Hollywood than Dermot Mulroney?
01/01/00
We don't feel much of anything.
02/03/09
Top CriticA misbegotten attempt to update the genre that only proves the enduring -- if not downright inviolable -- appeal of the boy-meets-girl scenario.
08/29/02
Top CriticFor those of us not so enthralled with Ms. Roberts, you'll have to endure the movie, but will be mildly entertained with good, old music and some stellar comedy provided almost entirely by Rupert Everett.
04/09/05
A farce-comedy, it must thrive, if it's to do so, on sparkle. But the bubbles are sparse, partly because of Roberts's low fizz level.
01/01/00
Top CriticA romantic comedy conspicuously lacking either romance or comedy.
01/01/00
Top CriticEmotionally, this is a movie that just doesn't compute. You leave feeling cross, as if you've been tricked.
01/01/00
Top CriticThis amiable comedy may not be hugely sophisticated, but Hogan does manage to make his attractive leads look like complete idiots, no mean achievement in image-obsessed Hollywood.
02/03/09
Hogan's follow-up to Muriel's Wedding rolls smoothly over the bumps in the plot, oiled by a witty acerbic script and strong central performances.
02/03/09
Continuing his good luck with matrimony, director Hogan marries broad humor with subtle observations.
01/01/00
Roberts, despite being required to fall through doors and tumble from chairs more often than is truly necessary, handles the material with exactly the right level of skill and charm.
01/01/00
There are many humorous moments throughout, though some of the more outrageous segments seem too contrivedly wacky.
