It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Julia Roberts is dangerously insane in this classic 90's rom-com. Replete with sassy gay friend and spontaneous group song numbers, you already know if you will like this movie.The movie ominously opens with the 1964 hit song "Wishing and Hoping", instructing young women they must be subservient to get married. At the start of the story you may be inclined to see the actions of the main character as humorous antics. But as the story wears on it will become apparent that her self-centered mania seriously hurts everyone around her. Prepare to be disappointed by the male lead, whose open-mouthed stares were the height of fashion at a time when Keanu Reeves ruled the big screen. The movie ends with the antagonist laughing and dancing. Perhaps because she's so pretty, no one holds her responsible for all the pain she caused or even the felonies she committed.

My Best Friends Wedding stars Julia Roberts,a woman who falls in love with her best friend(played by Dermot Mulroney). Problem is however he is engaged to be married to someone else called Kimberly(played by Cameron Diaz)who Robert's best friend is in love with. So Roberts teams up with her gay friend played by Rupert Everret(who also starred with Diaz in that 2004 animated film Shrek 2) to help her stop her best friend(and the man she secretly loves)not to marry Kimberly. But will she change her mind?Bottom line I really liked this film. The story has been done to death before as in 2008 Patrick Dempsey starred in a film similar to it called Made Of Honor,the cast is good I was always a fan of both Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz and as for the rest it was pretty good too.Not Oscar material here but it is an enjoyable flick. B+

I'm horribly shocked that this film is considered a romantic comedy, let alone one with many positive reviews.Whoever wrote the script and plot for this film should be shot. Seriously, how does Roberts losing the man she love in the end make it a romantic comedy worth seeing? And while the general consensus was that she was 'evil' and 'selfish', Jules struck me as more love-silly and desperate than evil and conniving (if any staunch negativity from Roberts part was intended then it wasn't well-acted at all). Roberts' character and the opposing guy both showed flaws and imperfections, but such is often the case with troubled people trying to sort out their real feelings in order to make the best relationship decision(s). Also, up until the end her friend acted as if he was secretly in love with her as well so the ending, aside from utterly depressing, didn't really make sense (unless that was also poor acting). That being said, this film would've been much better if they ended up together.

From what I've read here on IMDb this one split the vote straight down the middle, seems you either love it or loathe it. I found a lot to admire and little to dislike. It comes out of a long tradition that dates back to the earliest talkies; attractive, affluent people, living in luxurious apartments/houses, wearing expensive clothes, dining in expensive restaurants and generally being charming and romantic. We've been there with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, Grant and Katherine Hepburn, Grant and Ingrid Bergman, Fred and Ginger, Claudette Colbert, Audrey Hepburn, Franchot Tone, Bill Holden, Doris Day, Rock Hudson and now the new generation, epitomized here by Julia Roberts. The story is relatively unimportant, all we ask is twelve reels of escapism, a set piece or two, a song or two, lots of laughter balanced by the odd tear, a soufflé' that segues into a lemon mousse and sends us out into the night with a smile on our face and warmth in our heart. This one delivers as well as any and better than most.
