Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching 27 Dresses.

What I Liked: Katherine Heigl and James Marsden have good chemistry in this romantic comedy about a girl who has been a bridesmaid 27 times. Heigl, who recently starred in the hit film “Knocked Up,” fits her role well as Jane, the perpetual bridesmaid. She has many funny moments showing her frustration with always being the bridesmaid and never finding Mr. Right. Marsden plays Kevin, a newspaper writer who regularly covers local weddings and can’t seem to decide if writing the big story and furthering his career is more important than pursuing Jane. Judy Greer provides a lot of laughs and is great playing the promiscuous best friend of Jane.

What I Disliked: Marsden’s character lacks drive. He does a decent job in this role but he could have been great. His character seems too relaxed. He doesn’t have enough drive about his career or his personal life. He never shows enough energy or excitement, especially about the potential romance with Jane. Malin Akerman, who plays Jane’s self-obsessed younger sister, is boring, annoying, and never should never have been cast in this movie.

Would I Recommend?: Yes, it’s pretty good for a girly date movie.

Score: 7 out of 10

What I Liked: Don’t let the title or trailers fool you.  This isn’t your run of the mill chick flick.  This movie was very entertaining for everyone.  Even the manliest will laugh and may learn something too.  I got more than I bargained for with this movie.  It was laugh-out-loud funny and touching at the same time.  The cast was well planned and the story very well portrayed.  The soundtrack was great too.  I was singing and dancing in my seat when I was laughing my head off.  I related well with the main character.  I was especially glad to see that although nice guys (or gals) may finish last, they can finish happily ever after. And I won’t even mention the dresses, you’ll have to see them for yourself. LOL My only regret is that I didn’t invite my date thinking he wouldn’t like it. Oh well, he’ll catch it at home on DVD.  I will definitely buy it.

What I Disliked: What’s not to like?  You’d have to be heartless not to find something hilarious and touching about this movie.  I do think that the male love interest’s story could have been built up a bit more.  I thought they’d show us how he came to be like the main character in the beginning.  That could have been fun.  Oh yeah and what’s with all the soap opera rejects in the cast? For you ABC network soap fans out there, I found all the latest missing actors.  They left to do this movie. LOL

Would I Recommend?: I recommend this flick for all audiences.  You can’t go wrong with this movie.  It is good for the whole family or as a date movie.  I even enjoyed it alone.  Don’t miss this one.

What I Liked: This is a smart, funny movie.  It’s well-paced, without the interminable slow patches that beset some comedies.  Judy Greer is excellent in her “best friend” role, adding a very welcome ascerbic element to the proceedings with her sharp dialogue.  She helps ensure that the movie stays light but not completely frothy.

What I Disliked: I enjoy romantic comedies. However, I can see that the relatively standard formula of this “chick flick”, with some of its more contrived plot twists might make it less appealing to some moviegoers.

Would I Recommend?: I would recommend it highly. It’s both well-written and well- cast.  Katherine Heigl and James Marsden make an appealing couple with believable chemistry, while the secondary roles are also strong. This plot will resonate with every woman who has ever been a bridesmaid and, hence, by definition has some monstrosity of a dress hanging at the back of her closet.

Score: 8 out of 10
