Today I thought I would do a little review of my favourite move. Enjoy!
This review
will discuss the wonderful film, 27
Dresses, directed by Anne Fletcher.
This movie stars Katherine Heigle, as the main character, Jane Nichols, Malin
Akerman as Tess Nichols, Edward Burns as George, and the high-spirited James
Marsden as Kevin Doyle.
This film
takes a funny look at a woman that is always a bridesmaid, and never the bride.
There are a lot of twists and turns along the way that will keep you hooked
until the very end.
Jane is a
woman who loves weddings. She has
been a bridesmaid twenty seven times, and she struggles to say no. At her
latest wedding attendance, she meets Kevin Doyle, who is determined to meet her
again.
When Jane’s
sister, Tess, comes home from overseas, she goes to a work party with Jane and
meets her dreamy boss, George. They instantly feel a connection, but the thing
is, Jane is secretly in love with George.
With a shock
proposal, near fatal car crash and a string of lies, will Jane make it down the
aisle with her dream guy, or will she always just be a bridesmaid?
Jane has
worked for George for many years, and in that time, she has fallen madly in
love with him. She has never worked up the courage to tell him how she feels.
Jane’s feelings are intensified and even more complicated when Tess comes home
and falls for George, too.
Kevin Doyle
is a writer for the local paper and he writes a weekly column about weddings.
This, of course, is Jane’s favourite part of the paper. Jane and Kevin have a
chance meeting at a wedding Jane is being a part of, and Jane instantly
dislikes him. With Kevin’s determination to meet Jane again, could this develop
in to something more, or will Kevin stay just as the person who writes the
columns?
Tess Nichols
is one character that I loved to hate in this movie. She was self-centred, and
she didn’t care what lies she told, or who she hurt, as long as she got what
she wanted. One of the worst things she did in the movie was to her mother’s
wedding dress. Jane always wanted to have a wedding just like her mother’s and
father’s, especially now that her mother had passed away. But when Tess is
given her mother’s wedding dress, she takes it to a bridal shop to get it cut
up, basically, and bits and pieces of it got put into a new dress. I thought
this was an outrage, as it was such a sentimental piece to not only Jane, but
her whole family.
The main
idea that this movie is trying to convey is that you should be honest with the
people that you care about, instead of trying to be someone that you’re not. It
also points out that you should always have some time for yourself, if you can
make yourself happy, you can make other people happy too.
This film is
a ‘RomCom’. It takes a funny and quirky look at someone whose romantic life
doesn’t always work out for her.
One of the
highlights of the films was when Jane tried on all twenty seven of her
bridesmaid dresses. The costumes were really well made, and they varied a lot
in style. She had a cowgirl themed dress, a Hollywood themed, an underwater
outfit, and many more. It was really funny and enjoyable seeing all the weird
types of weddings people had.
Overall, I
would rate this movie three and a half out of five stars, and I would
definitely recommend it for someone who wants a bit of a giggle.
