This sparkling comedy proved to be a career-resurrecting movie for Julia Roberts, and for once she plays someone who may not get the guy. When she hears her best friend and former lover (Dermot Mulroney) is getting married to Cameron Diaz, Roberts realises she wants to be more than just friends after all. What makes this film — from Muriel's Wedding director PJ Hogan — work so well is that it's not just “The Julia Roberts Show”. While she does the bumbling, adorable routine she's best at, the stunning Diaz and superb Rupert Everett (as Roberts's gay friend and accomplice) battle it out for best supporting performance (and both win). You'll cry with laughter when you watch Everett serenade Roberts (in a crowded restaurant) with I Say a Little Prayer. Terrific stuff.
-
Enjoyable, slightly tart comedy, with a star turn from Everett to compensate for the occasional predictability of the plot.

Sickening
Truly awful! Never has a film taken such liberties with how real people think and feel. Julia Robert's character is unbelivably hateable, yet the other characters don't seem to care.
To give it it's dues, the film was (unintentionally) funny now and again, as it became more and more absurd (I had to keep watching to find out how far the scriptwriters were willing to stretch our concept of reality), but I came away from this film feeling hollow and exploited. Which is not really want you want from a romantic comedy! -

My Best Friends Wedding.
I loved this Romantic Comedy, absolutely fantastic - I was impressed as I was a little dubious , Julia Roberts discovers she is n love with Dermot Mulroney, just as he has arranged to marry Cameron Diaz, Her attempts to ruin his relationship always back fire. Best Character is played by Rupert Everett (Gay Friend) He is so funny.

A load of nothing
The opening titling goes on and on and is a good indication of how boring the film is going to be.The Storyline is poor because it would never happen in reality.There is no chemistry between Rupert Everett acting (for want of a better word) an English twit. and Julia Roberts a boring sexless American spinster.I like Cameron Diaz and unfortunately her acting is pulled down to their level.A completely pointless film which has a silly ending to match the opening and no substance in the middle to support it.Forget this one!!!

Film fan from Bracknell
Julia Roberts - what a star! She had my husband and I in hysterics. After watching the 'making of' section everything was explained, she is a very funny lady, even off set. Her co-stars were also very good. We loved the scene in the restaurant where they all started singing 'Say a little prayer' Hilarious!! Lovely movie.

Take no notice of the bad review at the top, this film is excellent. The plot, the acting, the humour are all A-grade. the chemistry between the three main characters is not to be missed. a must see.

Light Hearted
I know this film has been around along time now, but this was the first time I had seen it!
I am a fan of Roberts, and I think she played the part well. You don't have to concentrate too much and can still follow what is going on!
More of a chick flick, my wife throughly enjoyed it, but a solid easy watch film. -
easy to watch
well an ok easy going chick comedy flick not for the blokes
-
Bit of a curates egg
Nothing spetacular. It's an ok watch but you wouldn't rush to watch it again.
-
Great
Excellent film would recommend it to a friend
-
Predictable and boring.
Julianne (Roberts) realises she loves her best friend after he announces he is getting married. Can they really just be friends? Some good comic moments and a great performance from Diaz but an unexciting film.
