I have stated many, many times that I am sick to death of unoriginal, cheesy, and ridiculously formulaic movies. Ladies and gentlemen, this could very well be the worst one yet.
27 Dresses stars Katharine Heigl in the role that nearly made me dislike the actress altogether. In 27 Dresses, she plays a girl who is obsessed with weddings and that right there is enough to turn me off to this movie. I watch a movie like this to remind me what happens when formula is upplayed and originality is downplayed. 27 Dresses is what happens when people run out of ideas but want to make a movie about that anyway.
Katharine Heigl's character is completely uninteresting. Worst than that, probably. What I hate about a character like this is that this is the type of character that relies entirely on sexism and stereotyping to try to make her a round character. This is the type of film that sells on the idea that all women are completely obsessed with weddings and that's what I hate about it, true or not. This is all 27 Dresses is about. Wedding obsession. All the female characters care more about the wedding than marriage or the guy she's marrying, including the conclusion of the picture.
Still, there came a time when my hatred for this film became complete. This occurred during the last twenty minutes of the movie when I started calling out the very lines the characters were saying. I'm not even kidding. This film is so predictable that the words coming out of the characters mouths can be said by the audience before the characters.
Yes, I hated 27 Dresses. I didn't like any of the characters, jokes, acting, dialogue, story, or premise. I will give it a tiny bit of credit because there were about two funny moments in the picture, but that's not nearly enough to make this film bearable.
1/10
