Ah weddings, that magical moment when a killer party trumps sending your future children to college. This Friday marks the first wedding I’ll have been to where I wasn’t a flower girl, or and the groom isn’t an uncle. In fact I hardly know the couple at all! Friends of my boyfriend, I completely intend of utilizing their open bar and enjoying every mouthful of cake, while simultaneously not worrying that my grandma is going to shimmy so hard her slip falls to her ankles (true story, for another time). So I’m in a very matrimonial mood, that’s why this week’s Retro Review is one of my all time favorite wedding themed films, My Best Friend’s Wedding. Released in 1997 this is Julia Roberts at her best. Although I don’t think I can count on two hands how many wedding movies she’s starred in, it’s Julia Robert’s so it’s guaranteed to be a fantastic chick flick. Alongside Roberts the film stars Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett. My Best Friend’s Wedding does what so many of us have wanted to do, or perhaps thought about doing, or for some of you inconsiderate folk, actually done… derail a wedding.
