  VarietyJoe Leydon

  Frothy, funny and formulaic, 27 Dresses is a pleasantly predictable romantic comedy that sees Katherine Heigl following "Knocked Up" with smooth moves at the wheel of her first starring vehicle.

  27 Dresses is like one of the many bridesmaid dresses featured in the film: frothy, predictable and over the top.

  27 Dresses dutifully privileges its formulaic plot over its stick-figure characters, slapping a happy ending on a setup that, say, "Happiness" director Todd Solondz could have gone to town on.

  Katherine Heigl carries 27 Dresses when all else fails, which it does with great regularity.
