Heigl entertains in "27 Dresses"

I am normally not a huge fan of "chick flick" movies. I've seen most of them, don't really hate them, but they're just not my favorite; but 27 Dresses, the new movie starring Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, is one of the exceptions. Now, I know that movie reviews are very subjective and it really depends on the person seeing it, for someone to know if they like a movie or not, so I'm not going to try and shove my reasoning for liking this movie down anyone's throat. I'm just going to speak my peace about the subject and be done.

To me, 27 Dresses was full of witty humor, a somewhat clever approach to the typical "chick-flick" movie format, and good acting. So many movies are great stories that are just ruined by a lack of good acting, and so many other movies are horrible stories that are attempted to be made good, by good acting; thankfully this movie fits neither of those categories.

In 27 Dresses, the main character, Jane, played by Katherine Heigl, has been a bridesmaid 27 times, She is patiently waiting for the day that she gets to wear the pretty white dress to a weeding, and she continually waits patiently until she has plan her little sister's wedding to the man that she has secretly been in love with for several years, and then Jane's whole world comes unraveled.

27 Dresses is a great movie for anyone wanting an adorable little story with a happy ending, and after all, who doesn't want a happy ending.
