Review of My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) by Nicki M — 26 Apr 2018

Every 10 years or so, seems like a good idea to rewatch this one. Not entirely sure why. Julia Roberts's character is horrible. No one in their right mind would be hoping she gets to steal Kimmy's (Cameron Diaz - perfect for this part) fiancee.

I think this might actually be my final viewing, though. I never really gelled with Julia Roberts as a chick flick actress (though I don't dislike her and have enjoyed her in dramas). This movie feels too implausible and the gay best friend - it feels like a second rate Will & Grace minus the laughs. The singing scenes, the opening, meh. Then too much focus on Roberts at the end. Kimmy was the only one I truly liked here. Diaz can hold her own in a chick flick, but she's secondary here. I would rather watch one of her movies.

Original 3 star rating holds.
