haha, okay, now i'm back! just took a shower, and now i'm ready to speak out like a sane woman. really--what's with the weather these days! my friend said that this IS how it is in jakarta--live with it. ohh dear, i may sound so vain after only 6 months, but, hello! how i can i live like this? hahahha anyways... moving on!today i watched 27 Dresses on dvd. that's what i'm going to be doing for the rest of my holidays: watching dvds and catching up on good flicks that i missed. despite the miserable fact that the dvd was lousy and i couldn't understand half of what they were saying, i enjoyed the movie!the movie is about jane nichols (katherine heigl), a woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times--the perfect angel for your wedding. she believes in true love and she knows how to appreciate other people's most memorable day: their wedding. never saying no to the bride's wishes, jane dutifully fulfills every request while hoping that one day they will also be there for her on her own special day.
okay, generally, this is another typical romantic comedy. a little bit of romance, a little bit of fun, a little bit of whimsy, a little bit of physical comedy. but in this movie, it all works perfectly! at least for me. i love the main character--she's the nicest girl-next-door you could ever find in movies and she's so strong and lovable.
the male main character, kevin (james marsden), is a cynical, too-cool-for-romance guy who ironically writes the most romantic wedding stories for the new york journal. he is one of the main reasons why this movie rocks: I LOVE JAMES MARSDEN! you have to admit it--those striking blue eyes will charm you like nothing else (i am a sucker for bright blue eyes: alexis bledel, i love you too). his character is cynical yet fun and somewhat mischievous.
also, kudos to the costume department! aesthetically, this movie is gorgeous. i love the simple chic clothing that jane wears, and the casual (droolworthy) look that kevin dons. and the 27 dresses to which we owe the title are simply charming in their own funny ways.all in all, this is a simple adorable chick flick--i love it. the storyline is quite simple and not-that-original, but it managed to brighten up my day and the image of james marsden still lingers in my mind. tee-hee!
