This is a sweet movie that works on a lot of levels. It's funny, sad, dramatic and clever.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 18, 2024

Julia Roberts makes a glorious return in this romantic comedy... The screenplay is filled with bright dialogue and clever twists.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 10, 2023

My Best Friend’s Wedding dared to acknowledge that, sometimes, a friendship shared between two people who love each other can be just as important as a romantic partnership.

| Sep 26, 2022

The buoyant, bittersweet "Wedding" puts new fizz in an old form.

| Feb 28, 2018

Although [Hogan] stages most of the scenes in a straightforward way for Friend's Wedding, there are some charming, offbeat touches here. One wishes he'd mined some of the story's kinkier subtexts a bit more, but hey ... this is a commercial-minded flick.

| Jan 5, 2018

A bittersweet, modern-love morsel, this scrumptious drama should touch moviegoers' hearts in this action gorged summer.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Aug 25, 2012

A poor imitation of a screwball comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2010

We don't feel much of anything.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 3, 2009

The draggy narrative of this 1997 comedy is tough to sit through -- there are even several overproduced musical numbers -- but it does have an intriguing subversive element that I don't want to give away.

| Feb 3, 2009

Hogan's follow-up to Muriel's Wedding rolls smoothly over the bumps in the plot, oiled by a witty acerbic script and strong central performances.

| Feb 3, 2009

This amiable comedy may not be hugely sophisticated, but Hogan does manage to make his attractive leads look like complete idiots, no mean achievement in image-obsessed Hollywood.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 3, 2009

Anchored by skilled comedienne Julia Roberts, this skewered variation on jealousy and the wrong woman doing battle in the aisles is a winning balance of the familiar and the novel.

Full Review | Feb 3, 2009

The Roberts audiences knew and loved is back--not only has the smile returned, but also the glow, the joy of performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 13, 2007

A fun, funny romantic comedy that, despite a few weaknesses (some trite patches in the script, Mulroney's somewhat dull Michael), is entertaining from start to finish.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2006

The film's brazen amorality gradually freezes the smile on your face.

| Feb 9, 2006

For those of us not so enthralled with Ms. Roberts, you'll have to endure the movie, but will be mildly entertained with good, old music and some stellar comedy provided almost entirely by Rupert Everett.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 9, 2005

A romantic comedy that is both mawkish and subversive.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 10, 2004

A cheeky comedy that rates at least three bouquets.

| Feb 27, 2004

A romantic comedy significantly darker, more realistic and more intelligent than Hollywood examples of the same genre.
