July 4, 2011What's interesting here is that Roberts, the ex-girlfriend (at the wedding only to break it up), is someone smart, charming and "totally above such drama". We find out as she does (ala the screwball comedies of old) just how far she'll go to achieve her will ... and she's suppos... read more

January 11, 2009Juliann (Julia) doesn't want to see her best friend Michael (Dermot) marry Kimmy (Cameron) as she is in love with him. She does everything she can to humiliate her love rival. I love the singing scenes. Rupert and Cameron are hilarious. Great cast and plot.

The draggy narrative of this 1997 comedy is tough to sit through -- there are even several overproduced musical numbers -- but it does have an intriguing subversive element that I don't want to give a... Full Review

Leonard Klady, Variety
Anchored by skilled comedienne Julia Roberts, this skewered variation on jealousy and the wrong woman doing battle in the aisles is a winning balance of the familiar and the novel. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
A misbegotten attempt to update the genre that only proves the enduring -- if not downright inviolable -- appeal of the boy-meets-girl scenario. Full Review

Roberts puts her heart into this one. Audiences are likely to return the favor.

My Best Friend's Wedding feels repetitive at times, but its star power and willingness to undercut convention come through at the end. Full Review

A romantic comedy conspicuously lacking either romance or comedy. Full Review

Emotionally, this is a movie that just doesn't compute. You leave feeling cross, as if you've been tricked. Full Review
