Interview Review: 27 Dresses (2008)

Being a manly man, I obviously can’t consent to going to chick flicks very often, and I certainly can’t be caught reviewing them here on Review Bunker, so I have decided to bring in my girlfriend, Crystal, who I accompanied to the romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” last night. She will be here to answer a few review questions about the movie for my audience, so I can remain manly, and you all can hear about this new movie.

Me: “Did you enjoy 27 Dresses? Why?”

Crystal: “Yes. I liked it because it was a happy movie that I can see myself watching multiple times, and even though it was predictable, it was still entertaining.”

Me: “What did you think of the performances of Katherine Heigl, James Marsden, and the other supporting cast members?”

Crystal: “I thought, that even though some of them played quirky and obsessive characters [ex: Katherine Heigl’s Jane], they portrayed real characters that were relatable. I was able to think of people that I know in real life, that were similar to some of the characters in the movie.”

Me: “Were there any actors that you think did a poor job?”

Crystal: “Not really, actually I think one of the things that made it a good movie was that everyone in it acted very well. ”

Me: “What was your favorite part about the plot?”

Crystal: “I enjoy romantic comedies, but not necessarily romance movies, so I appreciated that they didn’t make the movie too mushy.”

Me: “Did you find it funny enough to be considered a comedy?”

Crystal: “Yes, it wasn’t over the top comedy, and instead the humor fit within the plot, and they didn’t seem to be trying to add comedy to the script.”

Me: “Did you ever find yourself bored with the plot, were there any slow parts?”

Crystal: “No, not really, even though I had an idea of what was probably going to happen at the end, it was still entertaining and paced well. I am glad that the plot didn’t get dragged out, going back and forth endlessly.”

Me: “Did the soundtrack stand out at all?”

Crystal: “mmmm… not really.”

Me: “Did you think they portrayed weddings accurately?”

Crystal: “Some of the themed cultural weddings seemed too unrealistic and odd, but at the same time they added humor to the movie.”

Me: “If you had to give the movie a rating between 0 and 5 stars, what would it be?”

Crystal: “I guess maybe a 4.5 because I really liked it, and I am comfortable with the predictability, and I expected it, so I won’t count that against it.”

27 Dresses (2008): 4.5/5
