Sorry, this movie sucks

not as good as all the hype

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Thanks so much forJulianne Potter (Julia Roberts), is a difficult food critic, who's been best friends with sports writer Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney) for nine years, without realizing she's hopelessly in love with him.But when she gets a phone call from him informing her that he's getting married to the rich and lovely Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz), she gets on a plane to Chicago with a covert plan to break up the wedding, and make Michael see that his place is with her."He adored ME for nine years." She tells her editor and friend George Downes (Rupert Everett), who -although gay- may harbor some secret feelings for her.When she arrives in Chicago, she is greeted by the glowing Kimmy who is only too eager to make her rival her best friend, and within ten minutes of meeting Julianne asks her to be her maid of honor.And when George visits her three days later (all her schemes are failing miserably up to that point), Julianne, on impulse, claims he's her fiance.It's a lie that unleashes one of the funniest set of subplots ever conceived in a romantic comedy.Rupert Everett, and Cameron Diaz shine like new pennies in their roles.They are positively radiant, and give the movie it's light.Julia Roberts is perfect as the scheming Julianne, whose actions get increasingly more desperate -and hilarious- as the story progresses.Dermot Mulroney is very well cast as Michael.He does a good job of conveying that he loves both women, and literary leaves the audience in suspense about which one he's going to chose.Relentlessly hysterical, and charming, this is one of the freshest most original comedies I can remember seeing.The ending (which in this case makes or breaks the movie), is as terrific as it is unpredictable:You'll never see it coming, yet it'll make you want to applaud.A stunning conclusion to a first rate story.Originally, Review #153Posted On: December 17, 2011

I should admit to harbouring a pathological hatred for America's sweetheart, Julia Roberts, and all of the rom coms that she's persevered in making over the years. MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING is one of her very worst, in which she plays a most deplorable character who thinks nothing of going for a bridegroom shortly before his wedding to somebody else. The humour is forced, the character morals completely offensive.

Julia Roberts plays Julia potter. A well established food critic who's besty Michael o'neal(Dermot Mulroney) is about to get married to quirky and bubbly Kim (Cameron Diaz) and invites her to his wedding so realising she may lose her best friend (or even the man she loves). Julia plots to do every dirty little trick in the book to sabotage this relationship and win the heart of the man she loves.Julia Roberts is beautiful and funny (with an evil twist) in this warm comedy. There are some cringe worthy moments in this movie but overall I love it and Julia is perfect in this part. It has heart warming moments and Rupert Everett is great as her Gay friend. it's funny and would relate to anyone who knows what it's like to have a best friend of the opposite sex. I just don't understand why viewers ratings are so bad when this is a fun comedy with some scenes that will bring a tear to the eye. Julia is great as the jealous, deceitful and desperately in love too late maiden of honor but you just can't help but still love her. Watch for yourself and be the judge without analysing it. Just see it as a fun movie.

Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) is a relationship-phobic food critic. Her best friend is her ex Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney). They have a pact to get married at 28 if there is no other prospects. She is about to turn 28. When he calls her, she thinks it's about their pact but it turns out that he is getting married to giddy bad-singing Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz). Julianne is shocked and jealous. She starts to a scheme to separate the couple with the help of her gay editor friend George Downes (Rupert Everett).This could have been a darker subversive plot as the story follows Julianne's scheming ways. However Julia Roberts does it so adorably that it is a very light fun romp. If there is somebody more adorable, it has to be Cameron Diaz. Rupert Everett has some great joyous scenes. Dermot Mulroney is a little stiff but he fits the role. I am glad that it ends the way that it did. The songs are a hoot, and Diaz's laugh is infectious.
