27 Dresses

Altruistic Jane finds herself facing her worst nightmare as her younger sister announces her engagement to the man Jane secretly adores.

Critics landed firmly on the negative side, finding 27 Dresses too reliant on tired romantic comedy conventions to make much of an impression. The central complaint was that Katherine Heigl's genuine comedic talent is squandered by a script content to coast on formula rather than earn its laughs — though female audiences at the time responded considerably more warmly than the critical establishment did.
