My Best Friend's Wedding
5 June 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This is the film that basically relaunched "pretty woman", Golden Globe nominated Julia Roberts back on the star board, and quite rightfully so. Basically she plays Julianne Potter, who once had a relationship with now best friend Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney). After a phone call she probably thought it could have gone further, but then she hears that he is getting married. Now she is trying everything she can to put a stop to the wedding of Micheal and fiancée Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz), and maybe get her man back. Along the way she gets help from another good friend, the great gay character played by BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated Rupert Everett, George Downes. In the end though, she realises that Michael loves this woman and she allows them to marry, but she still gets a nice dance with George. Originally in the story she was meant to get her man back, but I and the test audience are glad they changed it. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Music for James Newton Howard, and it was nominated the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. Julia Roberts was number 29 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars, and Rupert Everett was number 39 on The 50 Greatest British Actors. Very good!
