Dressed to Impress - By: Sam, 13 Aug 2008
Romantic comedies rise & falll on the chemistry of the two leads. Thankfully then for '27 Dresses' the cast is well catered for with the excellent Katherine Heigl as the lead & James Marsden as the charismatic love interest. Heigl plays Jane a woman who has become so adept at being a maid of honour that she has been a bridesmaid 27 times. Marsden plays Kevin a journalist who meets Jane by chance at a wedding; he sees in her a potential story about a woman who is always a bridesmaid never a bride. They instantly dislike one another but they are forced to get along when Jane's sister fallls for Jane's boss & they plan to wed. Jane now finds herself organising the wedding for her spoilt sister to the man she has secretly pined after for years. Can she juggle the wedding & her own feelings whilst trying to cope with the pesky journalist?

'27 Dresses' was great fun. This is a film that follows the rules of the romantic comedy to the letter & although as a viewer you know what is going to happen you enjoy it none the less. It is the light & fun script that starts the balll rolling, but the cast are what reallly shine. Heigl & Marsden are very good & the chemistry is excellent between them after a shaky first ten minutes. The supporting cast are not quite as strong but when you have a talent like Heigl at the front this is not such as issue. I did feel that the film added nothing to the genre, but as a generic romantic comedy it was a feel good film I enjoyed.

In terms of BluRay the film benefited slightly, but not a huge degree. There are no added extras on the disc worth having so a DVD purchase would suffice.
