27 Dresses

Very cute movie. Katherine Heigl (or Izzy) and James Marsden are good together and very cute.
Izzy still fits the nervous, happy, has to please everyone role (like Grey's Anatomy) but finally gets what she wants and needs.
I enjoyed the progression of events in this movie, it didn't fee forced. I mean you could tell that she was going to get with the guy at the end, but the plot didn't make it as obvious as it could've been. Such as when he's trying to get a date with her and she continuously turns him down, and then the roles are somewhat reversed when she finds out he's the writer of the commitment section. Also, when they first "get together" comes naturally: he just found out she's in love with her sister's fiance and she's all upset, and he tries to cheer her up.
I also enjoyed the subplot with izzy's sister and boss. another "be true to yourself" type of thing.
And I enjoyed the "opposites attract" theme as well between Izzy and James Marsden. Izzy's the sweet, romantic girl and James is the cynical, anti-romantic who can write. and even though they are very different, they mesh very well together. compliments on that

overall, very cute, sweet movie that has some twists from the cliche Runaway Bride plot.

recommended for: girlfriends. definitely a chick flick
