Reviews for My Best Friend's Wedding
Top CriticThe 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 away.
02/03/09
Top CriticHogan's follow-up to Muriel's Wedding rolls smoothly over the bumps in the plot, oiled by a witty acerbic script and strong central performances.
02/03/09
This amiable comedy may not be hugely sophisticated, but Hogan does manage to make his attractive leads look like complete idiots, no mean achievement in image-obsessed Hollywood.
02/03/09
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.
02/03/09
Top CriticThe Roberts audiences knew and loved is back--not only has the smile returned, but also the glow, the joy of performance.
10/13/07
The film's brazen amorality gradually freezes the smile on your face.
02/09/06
For those of us not so enthralled with Ms. Roberts, you'll have to endure the movie, but will be mildly entertained with good, old music and some stellar comedy provided almost entirely by Rupert Everett.
04/09/05
A romantic comedy that is both mawkish and subversive.
03/10/04
A cheeky comedy that rates at least three bouquets.
02/27/04
A romantic comedy significantly darker, more realistic and more intelligent than Hollywood examples of the same genre.
01/22/04
This delightful comedy about love, friendship and the hazards of lying comes not a moment too soon for anyone overwhelmed by the current glut of summer movie mayhem.
05/20/03
[The film's] virtues...make such a vivid and appealing impression that we forget, ignore, or fail even to notice those elements that are less successful.
01/10/03
Not only does this modern-day screwball romp manage to be romantic and comical, it also offers Julia Roberts a chance to shine again in the kind of movie that she does best.
10/15/02
Hey, I actually really liked this picture.
09/10/02
A misbegotten attempt to update the genre that only proves the enduring -- if not downright inviolable -- appeal of the boy-meets-girl scenario.
08/29/02
Top Critic[Julia Roberts] is at her vibrant best.
06/18/02
Top CriticThere are many humorous moments throughout, though some of the more outrageous segments seem too contrivedly wacky.
06/05/02
My Best Friend's Wedding is a well-paced fun flick that women will enjoy and men will too if they are on a date.
04/17/02
Every once in a long while, along comes a refreshing change like My Best Friend's Wedding, a movie whose appeal rests largely on its knack for defying our expectations by riffing off, even undermining, a familiar genre.
