27 Dresses [DVD] [2008]

A classic! Themes: weddings, love, grief, family.

I've been on a bit of a Rom-Com binge for a few months and heard about this movie part way through. I really love it! It's a good laugh, with a fab ending!

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.
