Product Description
-------------------
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

Julia Robert is a friend to a guy who is about to get married.
There's one problem she loves him, she tries to break up the wedding.
And in the process she figures out that he's truly in love with her.
At the end the wedding was a success, and Julia falls for a different
guy at the reception.
I rate this movie a 9 from 1to10!!;
[Rating: 5 Stars]
I just love it! It's a romantic comedy which was enjoyable to watch and would watch it again and again! I love the humor and some singing done in the movie.;
[Rating: 5 Stars]
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. ;
