27 dresses

its a simple story..abt a simple girl named jane nicols (katherine heigl)..
its abt a sweet kind hearted helpful girl who cant say no to anyone or cant hurt anyone....not even her wile younger sister tess (malin ackerman) who makes jane's boss george (edward burns) fall in love with her by telling her lies abt herself...btw jane thinks she is in love with george...

also jane loves to organize weddings...so she ends up being bridesmaid to 27 times....always imagining how it will be wen she gets married...


at one of the weddings she meets this cynical guy kevin doyle (james marsden) who thinks little of weddings...thinks lot of money is unnecessarily wasted in weddings....which can be put to better use..

kevin is a wedding journalist for a newspaper..so when george is gonna marry tess..jane runs a lot into kevin....who sees her thru n realizes her feelings for george...simultaneously he is falling for her too....


then its routine again...she too falls for kevin eventually..then there is misunderstanding....but ultimately the lovebirds unite...so alls well that ends well ultimately :)

its a sweet feel good movie....james marden is a simply adorable who just makes ur heart melt with his smile....katherine heigl has acted well her part so has malin akerman...u jus hate the sight of her in the movie...

its a 2 hour movie..so u dont get bored at all...the pace of the movie too is just right...direction by anne fletcher is fine...dialogues r good...editing is good....u dont feel there r sequences which the movie cud have done without...


girls will surely love this movie.....its good use of two hours wen u feel like getting entertained....

RACE..

this certainly is a fast movie....right from the first scene...there are many plus points...unpredictable twists and turns in the plot....good acting by all the actors...crisp dialogues...some of the dialogues r jus too good....comedy is a bit stupid....but u laugh anyways...good action...good cinematography....good editing...

negative points..chiefly one big negative point...too many songs..unnecessary songs...and the songs r not good too so cant listen to them..nor the dances r good so cant see them either....music by pritam goes below expectations....if u watching on the laptop u r better off fast forwarding all the songs....

set in south africa the plot is on the lines of two step brothers scheming against each other for the insurance money of 100 million dollars....the two brothers r ranvir (saif ali khan) and rajeev (akshaye khanna) who r in the buiesness of horse racing.....helping them in their plotting r the two ladies sofia (katrina kaif) ranvir's indespensible secretary who loves her boss and sonia (bipasha basu) an upcoming model with a criminal past who ranvir is about to propose.....dont exert your mind as to who is on whose side as they apparently keep switching sides in every other scene...anil kapoor is a fruit loving cop...and sameera reddy is his dumb assistant...both of them keep us entertained in the later half of the movie...

like a typical abbas mustan movie....there r exploding cars...fast cars....fast horses....hot babes....there is one big flaw in the plot which m not going to tell u coz it ll ruin the movie for u....
this is a story of greed, revenge ,betrayal which plots a brother against a brother...one plays to win another plays to defeat....one is right other one wrong.....and the right one wins the race ultimately :)

watch the movie once.....coz u wont have the time to think abt flaws in the plot...the second time i m sure u ll be busy searching flaws which i might just do one of these days ;)
