Critics Consensus

The filmmakers perfectly follow the well-worn romantic comedy formula, rendering 27 Dresses clichéd and mostly forgettable.

Writer Aline Brosh McKenna's latest effort instructs women to be doormats for men who treat them like crap, because heaven forbid they wind up never getting married.

The redeeming thing - and it's really all in Heigl's performance - is that Jane knows she's a silly cliché, and spends most of the movie inwardly wincing at her own haplessness.

5/5

As a film, 27 Dresses is more character-driven, but it’s more than just a film about two people on a poster running into obstacle after obstacle on their way to falling in love.

A formulaic flop hog-tied by coincidences, contrivances and romantic-comedy clichés.

The last scene was adorable! Yet it is a set back for feminism. The taxi scenes were strange, often giving a weird sense of objectification when the taxi driver kept acting perverted and the male lead commenting about the female lead's thongs. The male lead had no sense of boundaries, completely disregarding the female lead's privacy. The plot was predictable.

Pretty okay movie. Very cliche and predictable, but a good watch when you’re in the mood for a cheesy romance movie. Would recommend.

the movie is fun, a pun on expensive weddings, bridesmaids the whole shabang and should be seen as such. you really can't take this movie seriously, so just sit down and watch it and enjoy. that is what movies should be all about.

Vestida para Casar parte de uma premissa curiosa e até simbólica: uma mulher que já foi 27 vezes dama de honra, ajudando a organizar os casamentos de outras pessoas enquanto nunca viveu o seu próprio. Essa ideia inicial já revela o conflito central da personagem: alguém que acredita profundamente no amor, mas que sempre coloca os sonhos dos outros acima dos seus. O filme então constrói sua narrativa a partir desse contraste entre romantismo idealizado e realidade emocional. ⭐ Nota final: 7,5 / 10
