archer191273 Julia Roberts plays Julia potter. A well established food critic who's besty Michael o'neal(Dermot Mulroney) is about to get married to quirky and bubbly Kim (Cameron Diaz) and invites her to his wedding so realising she may lose her best friend (or even the man she loves). Julia plots to do every dirty little trick in the book to sabotage this relationship and win the heart of the man she loves.Julia Roberts is beautiful and funny (with an evil twist) in this warm comedy. There are some cringe worthy moments in this movie but overall I love it and Julia is perfect in this part. It has heart warming moments and Rupert Everett is great as her Gay friend. it's funny and would relate to anyone who knows what it's like to have a best friend of the opposite sex. I just don't understand why viewers ratings are so bad when this is a fun comedy with some scenes that will bring a tear to the eye. Julia is great as the jealous, deceitful and desperately in love too late maiden of honor but you just can't help but still love her. Watch for yourself and be the judge without analysing it. Just see it as a fun movie.

Kirpianuscus a special film. for the flavor of romantic comedies from the golden age of Hollywood. for the seductive performance of Rupert Everett. for extraordinary Julia Roberts who use , step by step, each possibility explored but her character and for the surprising work of Cameron Diaz. after the wave of chick - flick, it is an useful dose of fresh air. for the smart script, for the inspired acting, for the wise mixture of black humor and pure romanticism. for Dermot Mulroney, hostage of a role who seems not the most attractive but who could be the perfect piece in this energetic puzzle of revenge, emotions, desire and an end who is not exactly typical. a beautiful comedy. who remains, always, real delight.

SnoopyStyle Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) is a relationship-phobic food critic. Her best friend is her ex Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney). They have a pact to get married at 28 if there is no other prospects. She is about to turn 28. When he calls her, she thinks it's about their pact but it turns out that he is getting married to giddy bad-singing Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz). Julianne is shocked and jealous. She starts to a scheme to separate the couple with the help of her gay editor friend George Downes (Rupert Everett).This could have been a darker subversive plot as the story follows Julianne's scheming ways. However Julia Roberts does it so adorably that it is a very light fun romp. If there is somebody more adorable, it has to be Cameron Diaz. Rupert Everett has some great joyous scenes. Dermot Mulroney is a little stiff but he fits the role. I am glad that it ends the way that it did. The songs are a hoot, and Diaz's laugh is infectious.

RPI_engineer I'm horribly shocked that this film is considered a romantic comedy, let alone one with many positive reviews.Whoever wrote the script and plot for this film should be shot. Seriously, how does Roberts losing the man she love in the end make it a romantic comedy worth seeing? And while the general consensus was that she was 'evil' and 'selfish', Jules struck me as more love-silly and desperate than evil and conniving (if any staunch negativity from Roberts part was intended then it wasn't well-acted at all). Roberts' character and the opposing guy both showed flaws and imperfections, but such is often the case with troubled people trying to sort out their real feelings in order to make the best relationship decision(s). Also, up until the end her friend acted as if he was secretly in love with her as well so the ending, aside from utterly depressing, didn't really make sense (unless that was also poor acting). That being said, this film would've been much better if they ended up together.
