This is a 1997 movie directed by P.J.Hogan starring Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Rupert Everett and Dermot Mulroney. Being honest, it is a total Julia Roberts film. The film was a great commercial success being one of the top grossing movies of '97.Movie stars Julia as Julianne, a food critic and Dermot as her best friend and both promised eacother that if they wont find anybody to love till they are 28, they will marry eachother. It's 3 weeks befor Julianne's 28th birthday and she gets a call from Michael (Mulroney) that he is engaged.
Julianne tells the entire story to her editor/ gay friend George (Everett). So she flies to attend the wedding and at the airport she meets the 20 year old Kimberly Wallace (Diaz), a student of University of Chicago. Julianne feels she is not right for Michael and she must stop the wedding and marry Michael eventually. Michael told so much about Julianne to Kim that she considers Julianne as her new best friend and asks her to be the maid of honour and she accepts. She meets Kim's family who very wealthy and are glad to have her.
The wedding is in 4 days and Julianne has to call off the wedding, get the groom and marry him so throughout, all that time she talks to Michael of being sure to marry Kim and when he says he is, she makes all of the most desperate efforts to lead them to call it off and also seeks help from her gay friend, George.
The film is a wonderful laughter ride with the best of Julia's comedy and timing also of Diaz's and Rupert Everett. Being a fantastic movie, it is also considered as one of the best time-passing/ comedy movies.
The film also features a terrific soundtrack, hence being nominated for an OSCAR for Best Music or Original score. It also features the hit single "Say a little prayer (for you) covered by the entire cast, originally sung by Diana King.
When I first saw the movie, I immediately loved it and also loved Cameron Diaz. Since 1999, when I first saw the movie to last week, when I last saw the movie, I never get bored of it and there is always a joy and a comic factor to watch it; be it over and over again. It may not be the best movie or anything, its just a simple a good comedy movie or better to say 'just a Julia Roberts movie.'
My Ratings: 7.5/10 :)
