Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990s, My Best Friend's Wedding not only gave Julia Roberts a delightful vehicle for her crowd-pleasing comeback, but it further distinguished itself by avoiding the conventional plotting of the genre. Julia plays a prominent Chicago restaurant critic whose best friend (Dermot Mulroney) is a former lover from her college days with whom she'd made a binding pact: if neither of them were married by the age of 28, they'd marry each other. Just when they're about to reach the deadline of their agreement, Mulroney arrives in Chicago to introduce Roberts to his seemingly perfect fiancée (Cameron Diaz) and announce their wedding in just three days. That leaves the shocked Julia with just three short days to sabotage the wedding and marry the man she now realizes she's loved all along. With potential heartbreak waiting in the wings, she'll either get what she wants or pay the price for her selfish behavior, and Ronald Bass's cleverly constructed screenplay keeps us guessing to the very end. Rupert Everett scored rave reviews for his scene-stealing performance as Robert's gay friend who goes along with her scheming (but only so far), and even as she makes her character's needy desperation disarmingly appealing, Roberts wisely allows Diaz to capitalize on her charming time in the spotlight. As the romantic outcome remains uncertain, the viewer is held in a state of giddy suspense, and director P.J. Hogan pulls off some hilarious scenes (like a restaurant full of people singing the Dionne Warwick hit 'I Say a Little Prayer') that could easily have fallen flat in the hands of a less talented filmmaker. It's no surprise that this was one of the box-office smashes of 1997. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - My Best Friend's Wedding
Movie was cute and I only bought it because I'm a HUGE Dermot Mulroney fan. I didn't like this as much as the Wedding Date.

While this is not your typical romantic comedy, it is in fact the differences that make this a true masterpiece. The move starts with Roberts having a meal with her good friend and editor George. (George happens to be gay.) It is interesting that George is not ashamed of being gay, but on the other hand he doesn't scream it from the rooftops either. He is to be the voice of reason in this comedy full of mishaps. Roberts is happy to get a call from her past romantic partner Michael, but this soon turns to panic when she realizes that he is getting married in less than a week to someone else. (Julia is basically getting an invitation to the wedding.) George tries to calm Roberts down, but to no avail. She is determined to break the wedding. Whether we are routing for her, or feel her actions are absurd and cruel, somehow, we do get the impression that she is fighting a doomed uphill battle. We meet Kimmy, and we have little reason to doubt that she and Michael are a proper match. To be sure, there is one weak point in the relationship that Roberts finds and exploits, but let's be fair. What relationship DOESN'T have some weak point? Roberts realizes that her plans have backfired, and she desperately calls George for help. George tries to be a real friend to Roberts, but Roberts's new idea starts to wear down even George's patience. (Having George pretend to be her future husband to make Michael jealous.) While George plays along, it is clear that he has had it with this whole thing, and in a bit of ... Read More

Rating: - It's ok
If you're in the mood for a chic flick with Cameron Diaz and Julia. This is the one for you. I like Julia A LOT. But Pretty Woman is still my favorite. I'm not a big fan of Cameron Diaz. But Dermot...Yes. So it's a tossup.
