There are some universal untruths known to everyone: "The check is in the mail" for example. Here’s one that every bride says to every bridesmaid: "You can shorten the dress and wear it again." Has anyone ever done that? Jane (Katherine Hiegl) has heard that 27 times, and she’s never worn one of the dresses twice, even though she has kept every one of them. This romantic comedy follows the generic formula: girl meets boy, at first they don’t get along, but eventually they get together. Nothing new here, but Hiegl and James Marsden are charming actors and it’s fun to watch them reach the inevitable conclusion. Jane loves weddings and has worked as an unofficial planner for her many friends, but when she has to help her sister plan a wedding to the man she, herself, is in love with, she falls out of love with other people’s weddings. Marsden is Kevin, a journalist who yearns to escape the wedding desk and write feature stories. He hopes his story about Jane, the perennial bridesmaid, will further his career. Marsden has had two nice parts in films this year. He was perfect as Prince Edward in Enchanted, and he also played Corny Collins in Hairspray. Hiegl is a lovely woman who is both a good actress and a skilled comedienne, and that’s a terrific combination. She was especially appealing in the recent Knocked Up, and though the critics are lukewarm about this film, I think it will be popular at the box office. Gary and I thought it was a pleasant afternoon’s entertainment and agree on a grade of B. GRADE B.
