The picture is adorable and has so many smartly written scenes involving Julianne angonizing over how she knows telling Michael how she feels would change his mind, but she also knows it would be the wrong thing to do. Instead, she decides to manipulate both sides of the marriage so neither Michael or Kim would want to be together anymore.

Roberts is awesome in this picture. For her, her comedy is purely in unspoken responses, seeing her scheming isn't going according to plan.

Mulroney also very good, playing that loveable guy most women dream of meeting and or befriending, but for some reason these types of guys don't appear to exist.

Diaz, believe it or not, is also very strong. Her character of Kim is extremely bubbling and non-complex. This picture shows Diaz can prepare and stick to a role. The three are dynamite together as this unique love triangle begins unravels in the picture.

I love this picture because it exposes two things I've always thought about relationships; one, there is NO SUCH THING as a platonic friendship, and two, someone can be the greatest person in the world, the greatest friend in the world, but when the time comes, even without he or she realizing it, that person will destroy what may make you happy if HE or SHE thinks it won't.

For example, with the help of Julianne's friend and editor George, played by Rupert Evertt (The Next Best Thing), Jules comes to believe Michael urgent message to call him in the top of act one is because he wants to marry HER. It's explained well in the movie.

Anyways, Jules returns Michael's call, nervous about his possible proposal, and figuring she's going to turn him down. However, he tells her he's getting married to Kim, and immediately, Jules becomes defense, jealous and tries to talk Michael out of it, without even meeting Kim first. Right away, it establishes Jules possessive feelings over this special friendship in her life, which she doesn't care to lose and will do stupid things to preserve it, like asking Michael to marry her on his wedding day to Kim.

I feel people who have ever fallen for a friend who was in another relationship will love this movie. I think people who have supposed platonic relationships with a member of the opposite sex--or same sex if that's your thing--SHOULD see this movie. He or she may find a bit of themselves in it.

Lastly, if you've ever been romantically involved with what was once your best friend, and it didn't work out, this picture may be hard to watch. For me, it was very familiar on many levels, and those who know me know why.

The worst thing about this picture is the fact that PJ Hogan (Unconditional Love) directed it. Every smart script he's ever been handed has been turned into a Mary Fantasy with everyone breaking into a group sing a long; not really a musical number, just people starting to sing the same song in a public place.

These scenes drive me nuts. I have never been anywhere where people suddenly break out singing the same song…not in public anyway. Fortunately, there aren't too many of these scenes in "My Best Friend's Wedding."

If you watch this picture, and you've read a lot of my reviews, you will recognize the scenes between Jules and Michael which I really enjoy and appreciate, compared to other Hogan toss ups.

Overall, I think most people would get a kick out of this picture. It's smart and not as painful as other Hogan directed works. The DVD is loaded with a variety of extras, including an HBO Making Of that's pretty cool.
