One of the best rom-coms! I love that it's not the traditional story, and it has something for everyone, funny, dramatic, and a singalong scene.

Super charming and entertaining movie. Definitely a movie to watch if you like RomComs, even if it's quite old. Loved the cast. Well done.

Bad ending. I was rooting for Jules bru. Kimmy didn't deserve that man. Jules is much stronger than me.

The buoyant, bittersweet "Wedding" puts new fizz in an old form.

Carol Buckland

CNN.com

Although [Hogan] stages most of the scenes in a straightforward way for Friend's Wedding, there are some charming, offbeat touches here. One wishes he'd mined some of the story's kinkier subtexts a bit more, but hey ... this is a commercial-minded flick.

Hollywood Reporter

A bittersweet, modern-love morsel, this scrumptious drama should touch moviegoers' hearts in this action gorged summer.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Julia Roberts makes a glorious return in this romantic comedy... The screenplay is filled with bright dialogue and clever twists.

My Best Friend’s Wedding dared to acknowledge that, sometimes, a friendship shared between two people who love each other can be just as important as a romantic partnership.
