27 Dresses

[sapote]

You know, one of the primary pleasures of looking at Katherine Heigl - and there are many - is watching that woman eat. I would call her jawline delicate, except that when she is chewing her cheeks puff up like she is squirreling away toast for future emergencies. It is painfully endearing.

Actually, 'painfully endearing' would describe the whole movie. It turns out that the hero was Cyclops from the X-men movies, but I totally thought was the guy from Smallville for the first half-hour. I tolerated him pretty well, for a romcom hero - oh, look, it's a cynical, half-groomed manchild who will teach the uptight heroine how to enjoy life more by being a stalky jerk! It may be the strength of the acting that the characters actually seemed to have fun together at points, enough for me to forgive them for being Romcom Girl and Romcom Guy. It also seems worth noting that the dresses are, as promised, completely hideous, though they do not manage to be unflattering to Ms. Heigl. Basically, delicious, eminently-watchable fluff, and I enjoyed it a lot.

The credits were exceedingly well-formatted. I just want to note.

oh my god i love love LOVE watching her eat. she's ridiculously cute and not in the typical i-am-a-toothpick movie star sort of way. she has curves! and is a non-toothpick size! and EATS OH MY GOD LOOK AT HER CHEEKS YES.

my image of cyclops was totally dashed after seeing 'enchanted'. THERE IS NO WAY TO TAKE THAT MAN SERIOUSLY NOW. ♥

it's amazing that she looks wonderful in all 27 dresses oh my god. from the horrific to the way cute. (I THOUGHT THE INDIAN DRESS WAS SUPER CUTE.)
