This is a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts as Julianne Potter, who falls in love with best friend Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney) - the day he decides to marry someone else (Kimberly Wallace). Therefore, Julianne decides to sabotage the wedding.
Roberts did a fine job in her role, providing us with some light comedy in an otherwise crazy movie. Cameron Diaz plays bride-to-be Kimberly Wallace, who did an unconvincing and unappealing portrayal of the character. Mulroney did an equally unappealing job portraying the groom-to-be, making you hope that Julianne (Roberts) is successful in breaking up the wedding. And, it looks as if Rupert Everett was just thrown in the film for good measure, for he wasn't too into his role. But, he did make a good consoling friend for Roberts.
Overall, it's not a boring or an awful movie, but it has some flaws in the acting and character development and is not one of the better romantic comedies I've seen.
Grade C
