Average Rating:6.5/10

Consensus: Julia Roberts and Rupert Everett dazzle in this screwball comedy.

Runtime: 1 hr 45 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: When Julianne made a deal with her best friend Michael to marry each other if, by the ripe old age of 28, they had not yet found their true love, she never really doubted it would come to pass. But... When Julianne made a deal with her best friend Michael to marry each other if, by the ripe old age of 28, they had not yet found their true love, she never really doubted it would come to pass. But jealousy rears its ugly head when she discovers he's engaged to another woman, and, what's more, that she's perfect for him. What's a jilted bride-to-be to do? A hijinx-filled romantic caper. Academy Award Nomination: Best Original Musical or Comedy Score. [More]

My Best Friend's Wedding is effective -- some might say manipulative -- at winning you over to its side.

Is there a more charisma-bereft actor in Hollywood than Dermot Mulroney?

One of the things that makes My Best Friend's Wedding such a terrific romantic comedy is that it refuses to play it safe.

The screenplay has never been on autopilot; it just fooled us into thinking it was, in order to sneak up on the unpredictability.

Any actress who can, in the same film, carry off slapstick, femme fatale-ism, nail-spitting cynicism, and sweet vulnerability has something special going for her.

Fairly entertaining, thanks to a few unexpected bursts of irreverence.

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.

A romantic comedy conspicuously lacking either romance or comedy.

Although there are many laughs, this frustrating movie has more missed opportunities than realized ones.

Emotionally, this is a movie that just doesn't compute. You leave feeling cross, as if you've been tricked.

After too long dulling down in duds like Mary Reilly, [Roberts] dazzles again.

This is the thinking man's romantic comedy and a contender for the best of that genre for the decade.

This feel-good, off-beat romantic comedy oozes charm, allowing Julia Roberts to shine in the kind of role that she does best.
