Critics Consensus

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

The film is yawningly predictable...

MSNBC

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.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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.

Judy Greer does what she best chewing scenery and stealing scenes as Jane’s acerbic best friend Casey

The Post NZ

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.

I have always loved this movie. When it came out it was the typical 2000's movie. Still watch it to this day. It's cute, funny, and great actors.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
