Watch My Best Friend's Wedding For Free

As Good As It Gets

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Thanks so much forJulianne Potter (Julia Roberts), is a difficult food critic, who's been best friends with sports writer Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney) for nine years, without realizing she's hopelessly in love with him.But when she gets a phone call from him informing her that he's getting married to the rich and lovely Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz), she gets on a plane to Chicago with a covert plan to break up the wedding, and make Michael see that his place is with her."He adored ME for nine years." She tells her editor and friend George Downes (Rupert Everett), who -although gay- may harbor some secret feelings for her.When she arrives in Chicago, she is greeted by the glowing Kimmy who is only too eager to make her rival her best friend, and within ten minutes of meeting Julianne asks her to be her maid of honor.And when George visits her three days later (all her schemes are failing miserably up to that point), Julianne, on impulse, claims he's her fiance.It's a lie that unleashes one of the funniest set of subplots ever conceived in a romantic comedy.Rupert Everett, and Cameron Diaz shine like new pennies in their roles.They are positively radiant, and give the movie it's light.Julia Roberts is perfect as the scheming Julianne, whose actions get increasingly more desperate -and hilarious- as the story progresses.Dermot Mulroney is very well cast as Michael.He does a good job of conveying that he loves both women, and literary leaves the audience in suspense about which one he's going to chose.Relentlessly hysterical, and charming, this is one of the freshest most original comedies I can remember seeing.The ending (which in this case makes or breaks the movie), is as terrific as it is unpredictable:You'll never see it coming, yet it'll make you want to applaud.A stunning conclusion to a first rate story.Originally, Review #153Posted On: December 17, 2011

It is not one of those cliche romance movies. The script is genuine and fresh, and adds quite the comedy that even serious situations felt funny at times. Julia Roberts does an excellent job in portraying as both a friend and a foe. Kim was too hysterical at times in my opinion and Robert hardly showed any emotions (a bad cast choice). Regardless, this is a break from everyday romance movies, and Julia Roberts just made it great!

My Best Friends Wedding stars Julia Roberts,a woman who falls in love with her best friend(played by Dermot Mulroney). Problem is however he is engaged to be married to someone else called Kimberly(played by Cameron Diaz)who Robert's best friend is in love with. So Roberts teams up with her gay friend played by Rupert Everret(who also starred with Diaz in that 2004 animated film Shrek 2) to help her stop her best friend(and the man she secretly loves)not to marry Kimberly. But will she change her mind?Bottom line I really liked this film. The story has been done to death before as in 2008 Patrick Dempsey starred in a film similar to it called Made Of Honor,the cast is good I was always a fan of both Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz and as for the rest it was pretty good too.Not Oscar material here but it is an enjoyable flick. B+

My Best Friend's Wedding is a film that stars Julia Roberts.A woman realizes that friends can be lovers, but now has to convince the friend in question in this romantic comedy.Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney, Rupert Everett, and Philip Bosco co-star to play key supporting roles.It was directed by P. J. Hogan.Michael and Julianne were romantically involved in college, and after breaking up, they have managed to remain close friends. For years, they have had a pledge that if both were single when they turned 28, they would get married. Shortly before her 28th birthday, Julianne is lamenting the sad state of her love life when she gets a call from Michael, who announces that he has important news. Julianne is convinced that Michael is going to ask her to marry him, and she is crestfallen when he announces that he's engaged to Kimmy Wallace. Kimmy seems like the perfect woman for Michael because she's sweet, pretty, bright, and adores Michael, and her wealthy family is just as fond of him as she is. But now that Julianne has realized how much she loves Michael, she's not about to give him up without a fight and isn't afraid to fight dirty. Julianne's uneasy ally in the battle for Michael's affections is her friend and editor George Downes, a cheerfully out-of-the-closet homosexual who is not prepared when Julianne asks him to pose as her boyfriend.One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990's, My Best Friend's 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.Thanks to her charming performance and a subversive spin on the genre, this movie is a refreshingly entertaining.Rupert Everett scored rave reviews for his scene-stealing performance as Robert's gay friend who goes along with her scheming, and even as she makes her character's needy desperation disarmingly appealing, Roberts wisely allows Diaz to capitalize on her charming time in the spotlight. As the romantic outcome remains uncertain, the viewer is held in a state of giddy suspense, and director Hogan pulls off some hilarious scenes that could easily have fallen flat in the hands of a less talented filmmaker.Also, Hogan does manage to make his attractive leads look like complete idiots, no mean achievement in image-obsessed Hollywood.No wonder it happens to be the second most popular film of Roberts after Pretty Woman.
