Plot:
Having been a bridesmaid for 27 times, Jane couldn't say no to friends as she selflessly and effectively plan for their wedding. She even could not say no to hand over her secret love to her beloved spoiled baby sister, Tess. Now, what is she gonna prioritize as she became her sister's maid of honor and at the same time warding off the cynical, but handsome "Commitments" columnist who came tailing after her to get the outstanding story of the week? Who will she pursue: her 20 years of secret love or the new attraction towards the new guy whom she found out that they may have something in common after all?
* I am no big fan with Tagalog movies, I admit, but I actually have seen a few of them. This movie reminds me of Claudine Barreto and Rico Yan's movie about her being always a bridesmaid. I forgot the title for that, it was somewhat cheesy, I think.. hehhhe, peace. But, surprisingly, it was one of the few Tagalog movies that I finished watching from the start till the end. Though the storyline for 27 Dresses are somewhat different from the plot of the other movie, still, the theme and general idea was similar.
27 Dresses is a hilarious romantic comedy about love, sisterhood and relationships. The person we secretly love for so long now may actually be not the exact person that we've been looking for after all. And the person we so despise may turn out to be the one, we just never knew. Weddings are very serious events where "I dos" have more to it than just the mere blurting out of words. There's the commitment and promise to be with someone the rest of time no matter what..and that's no ordinary saying of vows, it has to be fulfilled every day of one's married life. Scary, right? But i believe, once you're truly in love and found the person you've decided to spend time with, it wouldn't be that difficult and scary after all. You'll just enjoy each moment together and relive them over and over again.

A 7.5?! This is a 5 or below movie. Come on!
awww...well, i enjoyed the movie, bing. though i understand they were of the same genre such as bride wars and 13, Going on 30. At least, they're better than Thumbsucker and The Go Getter. hahhaa.

No effin' way!! They're not of same genre anyway.. So I shouldn't compare. But if you ask me.. I'd pick Thumbsucker or The Go Getter everytime. Hell, I'd pick The Wizard of Oz over these movies even if its made in the 30s. Bride Wars, 27 Dresses are nice enough movies, if you have 90 minutes to spare. But if you're looking for real movies, there's Schindler's List etc..
Of course not all movies have the same appeal to us and they're there for different purposes. If you just want to relax and yeah, have 90 minutes to spare, then go on and watch 27 Dresses. If you want to get gloomy about the holocausts, Schindler's List is for you.
Did I just not said what you said?! LoL!
yeah, i know. it just shows i agree to some of what you said.
