#6 - 27 DRESSES

Plot: Katherine Heigl is a wedding planner and she's sick of seeing people getting married instead of her and then she meets some guy and she hates him at first, but then sorta likes him and becomes interested in him but then she finds out he wasn't the person she thought he was so she hates him, however all is eventually forgiven and she ends up marrying him.
Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
The freshness of the screenplay by Aline McKenna and the compelling aptitude of the lead roles. Malin Akerman is just golden in this movie, as are Judy Greer and James Marsden. But what a performance from Katherine Heigl, who time and time again comes out with these brave, sharp-as-anything comedies with heart. There's really noone else like her in Hollywood at the moment; so unwilling to play it safe, so hellbent on risking it all on movies like 27 Dresses. I have to hand it to her, the risks paid off in full with this one.
Best scene: In a surprise twist ending, Katherine Heigl's 18th dress escapes the storage closet it had been imprisoned in, vowing to return when the world least expects it.

Katherine Heigl going where no actress dares venture.
