Are you excited to see "27 Dresses?"
Ah, the romantic comedy. We have such a love / hate relationship with the genre. On the one hand, it brought us timeless classics like “Mystic Pizza” and “When Harry Met Sally.” On the other hand, it also brought us “Shall We Dance?” (i.e. “Shall we drink hemlock rather than endure the slow death to all creativity that is this movie?”). So when a RomCom comes out, we think maybe we’ll like it if it has an edge to it (re: “Knocked Up”), but we’d probably rather watch “The Breakfast Club” on TNT for the 1,000th time (something we really don’t want to do that much either) than payto see a new snoozer.
However, “27 Dresses” looks (and I’m sort of embarrassed to admit this) kind of cute. Most movies that take place in NYC are somewhat engaging, and Mrs. Heigl-Kelly is obviously the big thing right now. Of course James Marsden makes me feel like I just drank a bottle of Pepto-Bismol, but Edward Burns is awesome! So what do you think…is “27 Dresses” going to be a hit?!?
UPDATE: Thanks to the anonymous direction of 3rd year well-read and well-spoken Georgetown law student, we realized we incorrectly labeled a “RomCom” a “RoCo.” Consider it corrected. Thanks goodness we have such bright young talent in our future!

G-love! You will definitly like this movie. You can watch it after you watch the entire Season of America’s Next Top Model Cycle 6 on DVD.

“roco” you are so nyc. i went on the website to watch the trailer because i know nothing of this.
like regina spektor (singer of opening song)
like the idea of putting on all my bmaids dresses (and having a party)
like heigl’s hair color
like that her name is jane.
don’t like the song the trailer ends with.
don’t like that there is an emotional crisis within the plot (we’ll call it an EmCri)
maybe i’ll netflix it. won’t pay $10 to see it in movies. unless its with you.

yes, I’m excited. I think it’ll be adorable, BUT i probably won’t make it to see it in the theatre b/c although I think it’ll be cute, I don’t consider it a MUST see movies.
