Critics Consensus

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

More of a bridesmaid than a bride, 27 Dresses while inoffensive remains highly derivative and predictable to a fault.

"27 Dresses" mostly plays it pretty safe as a romantic comedy. I think it is a cute and harmless entry in the genre that fans should be able to enjoy. The premise does feel like it has the potential to be something more, with the lead character always being a bridesmaid yet yearning to find a love of her own, but it mostly feels like it is still sticking with a formula. I felt like I knew how this movie was going to play out early on and did little to surprise me. Overall, despite being a bit generic, there is a good amount of fun to be had, and I think it is light, sometimes funny, and mostly sweet.

The storyline isn't super original, but the message is clear - it's not fun to be the bridesmaid and not the bride, over and over and over again, and then some more. Great choice of main character. Funny movie. I enjoyed it. Not every movie has to be super sophisticated to be enjoyable and entertaining.

This movie is one of my favorite movies now. I love everything about this movie. I wish there was still movies like this. The romcom and set up of this whole story line is amazing and the choices for the actors/actresses was amazing as well.

This movie is perfect for a girls night where you don't want get too invested and it's all about the fun and not the storyline for one dimensional characters!

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

It really is Heigl's film, and she sells both the enthusiasm of someone high on the brilliant potential of love and versed in combatting the barbs of cynicism.
