Film review: 27 Dresses
Rating: ** (out of 5)
Review by: Alexa Williamson
For those who like romantic comedy, no matter how cheesy it gets, then this is worth watching. Trussed up in a wedding setting, 27 Dresses (written by The Devil Wears Prada screenplay author Aline Brosh McKenna) is the stereotypical plotline of girl meets boy, can’t have him, tries to get him, finally does and then wants another boy.
Jane has been a bridesmaid 27 different times and yet never gotten married. At one of the dos, she loses her filofax, which is picked up by Kevin, a persistent journalist who bugs her to go out with him. At the same time, she is in love with her boss, George, who falls for her sister, Tess and then her – all too late.
Although romantic comedy can be light-hearted and much fun, giving you a feelgood effect when you need it. This one is sadly, boringly run-of-the-mill. With both unenticing acting and and an equally unenticing plotline, it would have been better being sent straight to video.
