love,well jane has seen love but never experienced it she's been to busy with everybody else's love life and weddings to focus on her ,she has 27 brides maid dresses but not even 1 brides dress . so when the unexepected perfect man shows up will she finally falls in love.
this movie is the perfect chick flick to watch with your mates and chill out because its fabulously dooshy and has just the right combo of humor and girlatude

I really enjoyed this film, bit sketchy at the beginning but got very enjoyable half way through. Katherine Heigl was a perfect choice for this film and James Marsden provides sufficent eye candy for any woman...

Absolutely brilliant. Okay the plot line may be a tad predictable but the acting is great and the costumes etc are fab. Ii'd definitely say to watch it - it's a fantastic chick flick and one that i'll definitely be getting!
It'll also make you listen to Benny and the Jets by Elton John in a whole new light - absolutely classic! :o)

Katherine Heigl stars in this rom-com about the girl who’s just ALWAYS the bridesmaid, never the bride…James Marsden co-stars as ‘the one’ who’s going to change all that. Heigl is an absolutely luminous new star, always watchable, likeable and looking radiant here.
So why does this film not light up the screen? It’s just disappointing on all levels, and fundamentally flawed in that the star quality of Heigl is wasted completely. Her character Jane isn’t given anything redeemable, in a barely two-dimensional sketch of a persona she pretty much only thinks about her male boss, and how to get him to notice her. Oh, and she’s the obligatory ‘great friend’ (hence the 27 bridesmaid appearances).
With a wittier script, or some plot surprises (or just an actual plot, come to think of it), this would enable us to suspend reality enough to get involved the film and enjoy it. I kept waiting for the story to begin, but that’s literally it; one idea, no real story. How patronising to the intended female audience, and more importantly what a criminal waste of Heigl’s comedic talents, far better displayed in the likes of ‘Knocked Up’. Heigl is one of the best young actresses around able to carry off a genuine, funny performance.
Marsden is also curiously unlikeable as Jane’s true love, journalist Kevin; again, just no wit or spark in the script to life his performance, it didn’t even raise a smile. Disappointing in the extreme.
