| Girl is best friends with boy, finds out he's getting married, realizes she loves boy, tries to steal boy by any means necessary. |
| As my male readers roll their eyes, "Of course she likes it, it's a chick flick," I wish I could quote the men coming out of the packed theatre to prove to you that it is a fully accessible movie for both sexes. This movie is fabulous! And I mean that in the splashy Birdcagey spectacle of it all. I have long been leery of Julia Roberts, but she pulled off the devious yet vulnerable yet smitten role just right. She even dons the physical comedy |

Everyone was perfect - they were utterly believable even in their sometimes outrageous behavior. I have actually been to a rehearsal dinner similar to the one in the movie so I can talk! Cameron Diaz is gutsy enough to poke fun at herself and we love her - there is no bad guy/good guy thing and there is no pat predictable throwaway ending. It's full of genuine, honest emotion from start to finish and I sped to the store to buy the soundtrack. |
| The opening title sequence sets the stage and you folks out there who think the opening is dumb, well I pity you and your inability to feel the joy that I was feeling. A line from the preview was shuffled around in a scene but ultimately cut because the riotous laughter prevented its ever being heard. |

Rupert Everett, as Julia Roberts' friend and editor is a prize! He breathes life into scenes that would otherwise have been clumsy and awkward. I have read some bad press on Dermot Mulroney, and maybe you have to have a taste for Demot Mulroney's character's type of relating to other people, but I found him utterly apt. Just go see it right now!
