27 dresses

Ok, I know it’s been a while since this movie was shown but I just realized that the post I was supposed to have written about it remained unpublished and in draft mode so I just edited it and voila! New post about an “old” movie!

The movie is a romantic comedy about a young woman named Jane who has always been “good” and responsible all her life. She has a hard time saying “no” to her friends and family and so most of the time they take advantage of her weakness. Her ultimate dream is to be able to make arrangements for a wedding of her own — she has acted as wedding coordinator for practically all her friends! And not only that, she was bridesmaid in all those weddings she helped plan. Hence the 27 dresses. Anyway, in one of the weddings she was bridesmaid in, she met Kevin, a writer about weddings but was a cynic at heart and doesn’t believe in marriage. He was intrigued by her specially when she left her organizer in the taxi which he boarded and decided to make an article for the paper he writes in about her. Meanwhile, Jane who is secretly in love with her boss made the mistake of introducing her younger “selfish” sister to her boss who instantly fell in love with her sister. Before she knew it, Jane was helping her sister plan the latter’s wedding to her boss… From there on, it was a series of funny yet heartwarming events which leads to a beautiful ending. What was the ending? Well, you better watch it for yourself and find out!

A friend of mine tried to dissuade me from watching this movie as she said, and I quote “It is very predictable”. Well, I’ve never been one who heeds these kind of warnings, I prefer to judge a movie (or anything and anyone for that matter) by MY OWN standards so I went and watched the movie despite the said comments…

Actually, the movie has a younger generation in mind for it’s audience but what can I say, I’m a sucker for romantic comedies, and this includes “Disney magic” in it so…

First, if you’re cynical and have no sense of humor then please save yourself the agony of watching this movie, BUT, if you are “enchanted” with movies that combines contemporary awareness with good old fashioned fairy tales then this is the movie for you! I enjoyed it’s witty humor and modern fairy tale ending. I actually went out of the theater feeling young and “in-love”, hehehe!
