Romantic comedies are kinda like jujubes. They’re really not all that good, they’re bad for you… but given the right moment you can actually enjoy them a lot. Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up) has a new one coming out called 27 Dresses which honestly looks like it could have some good laughs with it.
If the movie wasn’t already predictable enough on its own, the trailer pretty much gives everything away… which is fine since you don’t go to see romantic comedies for the deep plot. The synopsis looks something like this: “After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman (Heigl) wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister’s side as her sibling marries the man she’s secretly in love with.”
Heigl is just amazingly beautiful… and she was serviceable enough in Knocked Up… but I’m not sure she has enough charisma or presence to carry a comedy on her own. Still… the trailer is pretty cute. Check it out:
