It is not without a certain amount of apprehension that a man such as myself sits down to see a movie called 27 dresses. Yes, I had seen trailers, and even read a brief review. I knew what I was letting myself in for. Katherine Heigl had been good in Knocked Up, but that was no reason to see every film she made. The film was written and directed by people who had had some success in the past, but nothing I had, or had wanted, to see. So, I sat down not expecting much, and I was right to do so. This is not a good film. But then you didn't really think I was going to say it was, did you? It was, however, fun in the light-hearted, candy-for-the-brain type way that such movies are. I did laugh, and I did get marginally involved with the dilemmas of the characters. Aside from a few original moments, however, the situations were so overworked and the 'I know how this will end' factor so ubiquitous, that I can't imagine the movie having any lasting value, even to those who like this kind of film. So, if your girlfriend wants you to go to the cinema this weekend, this is the best of your options.
