27 Dresses – Is a romantic comedy that is extremely fun to watch. I did not actually know Katherine Heigl, who plays Jane, remarkably well as an actress, but now I will be looking for other movies in the future. Trapped in a world of “being a bridesmaid but never a bride,” Jane is continually being asked to be in her friends' weddings. To prove it, she has a closet full of the bridesmaid dresses she wore to all of these events. This seems to be her only form of life outside her work.
In love with her boss George, played by, Edward Burns, who unfortunately only notices her for the terrific job she, does. Poor Jane struggles daily trying to keep her innermost thoughts about him to herself, but failing miserably. As if things could not get any worse, her beautiful sister Tess, played by Malin Akerman, shows up only to take the man of her dreams away, before her very eyes.
Kevin, played by, James Marsden, is a journalist who stumbles upon Jane's unconventional life becomes intrigued and wants to write about her experiences. Little does Jane realize but Kevin seems to be far more interested in her than George ever could be. As Jane struggles with her sister's relationship with her boss, and Kevin becoming guiltier for wanting to expose Jane's life, all of their lives begin to unravel. If you enjoy romantic comedies, you are sure to like this one.
It is cute and fun to watch, that aside here are the mistakes I found.
In the scene where Jane is tying George's tie if you look closely at his tie that rests around his collar the seam of the tie appears to go from out to in and then back out again between scenes.
After Jane shows Kevin all 27 dresses and they are both sitting on the couch Jane has her feet on the coffee table and a glass in her hand. It clearly shows Jane putting both feet on the floor and the glass on the table. In the next scene it shows Jane with her feet back on the table and the glass back in her hand.
When Jane is pushed aside during the tossing of the bouquet she is wearing her floral head wreath as are the other bridesmaids. In the next scene Kevin is helping her up and there is no head wreath on her head nor is there one anywhere on the floor.
When Jane and Kevin are eating breakfast at the restaurant, it shows Kevin with a scruffy look. As Kevin gets up and leaves the restaurant it shows him clean shaven.
Even though this movie has many mistakes it is cute and tremendously enjoyable. If you have not seen it give it a try.
