I went to see 27 Dresses today with a friend and her cousin and I throughly enjoyed it. Katherine Heigl is quite the comedienne, which is well known to those who have seen Knocked Up, and she did wonders with a cliched premise and predictable plot, but her performance alongside the charming and goregous James Marsden made the film for me, their chemistry was wonderful and they made the predictablity and cliched premise work.
Also fantastic was Judy Greer, she is a wonderful actress, I remember her playing Fern in Jawbreaker and loving her, she NEEDS to get praise for her work in all these different movies that she's been in as the funny-best friend/enemy character.
And also fun was Ed Burns, looking sexy as Heigl's boss who she is in love with, but who catches Heigl's character's bitchy sister.
The 27 dresses, are quite hysterically ugly, they have so many and the sequence in which she puts them all on is quite funny, especially the flashbacks to all the different weddings.
Overall, I loved the film, was it perfect, no. Was it original, no. But, it was entertaining, and fun and fluffy, and just what you want from a romantic comedy.

I love that he's all of a sudden in a ton of movies.
