My Best Friend's Wedding
“When we’re twenty-eight, if we’ve never married, we marry each other.” This is a very lovely engagement between you and your male friend.
In the movie, Cameron Diaz who was young and shy at that time plays the girl who is desperate in love, dropping out of school, giving up her own career, only for the man she is going to marrying. Probably 1997 was Julia Roberts’s year, and she was at the top of her career, I have some feeling that the movie has kind of favor to the role that Julia plays, which overshadows the co-actress Cameron. Julia acts the leading role, a woman who did not have the nerve to face the true love until she was told by the man she had loved for nine years was going to marry. Julia determined to win him back in the name of love, the moment she realized how much he meant to her. She would desperately fight for the man belonging to her. Maybe not the one hundred percent love, mixed with jealousy or something like the desire to monopolize women are born to have. That’s how the story begins.
A scene in the movie impresses me very much. Julia attempted to make fool of Cameron in the bar after she knew she had no sense of tune. At the beginning, she waited to watch the fire from the other side of the river with a little bad faith when Cameron was invited to sing for them all by a woman. I can see the subtle change in Julia Roberts’s face when Cameron was singing toward her man simply out of tune, but she covered up her appreciation for her just perfect without showing anything. Julia has no trace of acting at all; I guess that’s why she deserves the role.
I hate to admit that the movie is not much of a comedy to me. The leading man has to choose to hurt a woman who both love him; but I do admire his not being sloppy and hesitated when it comes to the choice. He chose the bride, whom he had never felt that way about. While what does nine years mean? Having a song belonging to each other, having strong feeling for each other, travelling all over

    The most important criteria for judging this film is the great casting. The cast was excellently picked. Actors in a movie must be believable and able to pull their roles off extremely well.

    The producers couldn’t have hired better actors for the roles of Thomas and Victor and the script was as if it wasn’t even a script. It seemed like it just came so naturally to the characters. If someone came to me asking for examples of a movie with really good acting, I would probably recommend this movie, but otherwise. I would say not to waste your time and watch something more enjoyable, like the romantic comedy “The Wedding…

    This brilliantly written script has many innuendos of these scholarly ladies acting a bit like men in order to make the point that women can and should have equal rights. The plot thickens when Ben Weissman (Patrick Dempsey) tries to seduce the beautiful Alice Paul. Weissman shows Paul how to feel sexy, and that it’s okay to feel like a woman. Von Garnier has incredible insight on how to make a woman feel beautiful when she flashes pictures of Paul taking a bath, shots of her lips, and her smiling.…

    The main reason I selected this movie was because of its obvious gender biases and its very blatent patriarchal society from which Elle comes from initially and proceeds to go to at Harvard. In this movie the males are good looking, successful, rich, and are attending or previously attended Harvard. With an exception of a few, the males of this movie act as if the women are object to be played with rather then to be taken seriously. The first example of this is when Elle is on a date with her, at the time, current boy friend Warner, they're at a restaurant and Elle thinks he's going to propose but instead he breaks up with her because…

    Wedding Crashers was the return of the "R" rated adult comedy movie, it was the sixth biggest grosser in 2005, it is a sex comedy about two men who crash weddings to meet single woman and deceive them to get them into bed. I believe the movie "Wedding Crashers" is against feminism. The two male characters treat women like sex objects to gain their need for sexual satisfaction. The movie stereotypes women to make them seem like sex objects, disregarding their personality and intelligence. I think the target audiences are men who are in their late 20s and early 30s that are successful and enjoy humorous adult comedy.…
