Something old, something borrowed… but still an assured, perfectly decent popcorn pleaser that sees the limber, likeable Heigl consolidate her Knocked Up lustre. Add sparky his/her chemistry and you’ve got a well-turned-out chick flick 27 Dresses Blu-ray. It proves that with the right cast and creative team in place, even an old formula can still entertain. The story requires an antagonist, so Jane’s sister is painted as a monster for most of the film. At the end, however, she is reshaped as Jane’s close friend and confidante. The film’s credibility crumbles like stale wedding cake. Like its protagonist, 27 Dresses undoes itself with niceness.
