Romance. Comedy A 28-year-old woman, who years earlier made a pact with her closest male friend that if neither were married in ten years time they would marry one another, now faces the fact that the man is about to marry someone else. He asks her to be his best man and she agrees, planning to go to the ceremony and then break up the couple before they exchange their vows. Instead, she accepts the turn of events and realizes she doesn't need to be married to be happy. [+]

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Marta Bausells The Guardian	"Simple but effective, cheesy but hilarious, this 1997 romcom has important lessons to teach about life, love – and desserts"	POS
United States	Stephen Hunter The Washington Post	"A romantic comedy conspicuously lacking either romance or comedy."	NEG
United States	Duane Byrge The Hollywood Reporter	"'My Best Friend's Wedding' is a generally adorable story, albeit not blessed with the classic bone structure that one might hope (...) Roberts' performance as the scattered Julianne is completely winning"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The script falters, ditto the pace (...) But don’t bother fighting this sparkler of a romantic comedy (...) Here’s the summer-date-movie supreme for pretty women and the gay men they love."	NEU
