Wedding Belle Blues
Is it Possible to LUV Julia Roberts More My Best Friend's Wedding is a story about two friends, Michael and Jules, who made a pact that if they were both still single when they turned 28, they would marry each other. Well, a few days before Michael is to turn 28, Jules remembers their deal, and also suddenly realizes that she is in with Michael. When he phones her that evening to tell her the news of his pending marriage, she is shocked. He persuades her to come to New York for his wedding. She agrees to go, and decides that she will break up Michael and his bride to be during the 4 days she is there prior to their wedding. What happens next is a variety of attempts on Jules part to try and split up the couple and at the same time make Michael realize he still has feelings for Jules -- if in fact he still does. Does Jules succeed in getting Michael for herself ? You will have to watch this video yourself to find out what happens, I don't want to give it away. The four main characters of this movie are superbly played by Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Evertt. This movie has a little comedy and a little romance, IMO a perfect blend. If you are looking to watch a lighthearted and fun , this may be the one for you. While I really enjoyed watching this movie and could easily watch it again, my lover did not particularly like the story line of this movie. He would not want to watch it again, perhaps this is a video best watched with a group of girlfriends. Shocked, and more than dismayed, Julianne hops on a plane to Chicago, prepared to break up the wedding. The best part of this movie isn't related to this little threesome at all. It's Rupert Everett, playing Julianne's editor and current best friend. As Julianne begins to go insane, he pulls her back from the edge, allowing her to pretend he's her fiancee to make Michael jealous. But unable to stop there, he spends the entire morning humiliating her in front of the entire wedding party. The reception dinner makes the movie, and made me buy the soundtrack If you like romantic comedies you will this movie. It makes for perfect slumber party watching. Think "French Kiss " without any French accents. 【Julia Roberts】My Best Friend's Wedding【Cameron Diaz】 Hit Home with Me... Sometimes life can really put you into some sticky situations as this movie shows. Julia Roberts superbly portrays Juliette "Jules ", a food critic, who is called one day by her best friend Michael. He shocks her with the news of his upcoming nuptials to "Kimmi ", a wealthy college gal , to whom Jules really thinks is kind of flakie. It seems Jules once made one of those "if we're not married to other people by X, then we'll get married " pacts with her best friend, who happens to be a man named Michael (Dermot Mulroney ). Naturally (this is Hollywood! ), Jules realizes she's in with Michael, just as he tells her he's getting married to someone else (enter Cameron Diaz ). Once that premise is set up, the bulk of the film is devoted to watching Jules try to come up with some way to stop the wedding in a matter of days. Employing tactics that range from embarrassment (one of the film's best scenes is watching Diaz try to sing "I Say A Little Prayer For You" at a karaoke bar ) to a downright devious plot involving Michael's job, Jules desperately tries to find a way to break up the happy couple, ultimately leading to the aforementioned car chase. The eventual outcome is not especially surprising, nor does it need to be. The film is simply good fun, with a cast that plays each line to just the right effect. Diaz plays the almost clueless Twinkie of a bride-to-be to just the right level, and one almost feels bad for her as this interloper tries to break up her relationship. Jules may be engaging in some dirty tricks, but Julia Roberts portrays her in a way that you can almost understand why she's acting the way she is.. Rupert Everett adds the voice of reason as Jules? confidant, who tries, albeit without much success, to keep her from heading down a self-destructive path.. As for Dermot Mulroney... well, he doesn't have much to do except play the not-so-swift groom who's too blinded by his own love to notice that Jules happens to be crazy about him. (D'oh! )...... After realizing that she her best friend and will do anything to stop him from marrying anyone else but her, Jules stoops to an all time low and tries desperately to get Michaels attention. Being known for shying away from all of the "mushy stuff " and not being one to commit seriously to love, Jules realizes that Michael needs to be happy, she sacrifices her own happiness for him. Im not going to go any further in telling about this movie, you need to watch it and see what "Jules " does to get Michaels attention. Im certain you will enjoy. I guess the old saying proves true: Love will make you do crazy things. I really don't feel that this was one of Julia's better movies but it impressed me. The story line was very strong and the humor was very light-hearted. I would suggest anyone who just needs a good laugh to definitely watch this movie it is delightfully funny. So guys, listen to me on this one. Show what a sensitive lug you can be by picking up this movie instead of another shoot-em-up, special effects bonanza. You might score some points for being a romantic deep down in your heart. Just Don't tell Her you only rented it for the Car Chase... お気に入りの記事を「いいね!」で応援しよう
