My Best Friends Wedding is a 1997 romantic comedy film directed by P J Hogan. It stars Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney & Rupert Everett. The film was a commercial & critica success. The song Say a Little Prayer For You was covered by singer Diana King & featured heavily in the picture, making it a Billboard top 20 hit. The film centers around the character Julianne Potter, a 27 year-old New York restaurant critic who finds out that her long-time male friend Michael ONeal is getting married. The two previously made an agreement that they would marry each other if they were both unmarried when they turned 28, which privately Julianne has been hoping would happen. Julianne heads to Chicago intent on sabotaging Michaels wedding to the perky Kimberly Wallace. When all of her ploys fail she concocts her own fake engagement to gay friend George. Juliannes scehemes become more & more devious & cruel; she manages to convince Michael that Kimberly is attempting to steer him into a career decision that he doesnt want to take.

DVD Extras: My Best Friend's Wedding is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen & there is very little grain or noise, the only blurring coming from those soft focus moments. There are two making-of documentaries, one produced by HBO & the other a general behind the scenes mix of fly on the wall footage & interviews with cast & crew. Masquerading as helpful hints for the soon to be wed there's also a short featurette called Wedding Do's & Don'ts. You can also sing along with one of the film's more bizarre moments; the fish restaurant rendition of Say a Little Prayer, check out the pictures in the wedding album & read the filmographies.

One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990s, My Best Friends Wedding not only gave Julia Roberts a delightful vehicle for her crowd-pleasing comeback, but it further distinguished itself by avoiding the conventional plotting of the genre. She plays a prominent Chicago restaurant critic whose best friend is a former lover from her college days with whom shed made a binding pact: if neither of them were married by the age of 28, theyd marry each other. Just when theyre about to reach the deadline of their agreement, Mulroney arrives in Chicago to introduce Roberts to his seemingly perfect fiancée & announce their wedding in just three days. That leaves the shocked Julia with just three short days to sabotage the wedding & marry the man she now realises shes loved all along. With potential heartbreak waiting in the wings, shell either get what she wants or pay the price for her selfish behaviour, & Ronald Bass cleverly constructed screenplay keeps us guessing to the very end. Its no surprise that this was one of the box-office smashes of 1997.
