Oct 4 2007'27 Dresses' Trailer Teaches Important Values
As an actor, how do you follow-up a fun, raunchy take on the romantic-comedy genre like Knocked Up? If you're Katherine Heigl, the answer is simple: with an obnoxious, typical romantic-comedy that reminds women they'll only ever find validation through marriage.
In the trailer for 27 Dresses, the old adage "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" is stretched as far as humanly possible, with Heigl playing a woman who's been a bridesmaid in 27 weddings but still can't find a man to quit her job and cook dinner for. Instead of showing us the more interesting story of what mental or physical dysfunction is keeping this seemingly attractive woman from reaching her life's goal, we're tortured with clip after clip of people speaking in redundant plot-points or stilted, asinine dialog we're meant to take as flirting. It's awful.
Also, does anyone know what this "hot hate sex" referred to in the trailer is? Two of those words make sense together, but the whole "hate" part is new to me. Is that hating someone so much you f*** them, like Leia with Han Solo, or is it just more punching during the act?

GD thats horrible.
If your girlfriend makes you see that movie, you should be legally forced to punch her in the ovaries

Geez its a freakin trailer..over analyse the movie or what. Looks like light hearted fun to me and Heigl is a good actress and absolutely gorgeous.

Think the "hate sex" part is from Dr. Ruth, remembered watching a show while channel surfing were she goes do not have "hate sex" where 2 people are angry and pissed and have sex and that it's unhealthy etc.

Way to rip my fucking heart out Justice. Jesus.

Agreed DKeady. Who would have thought Justice would make their first OST appearance on a romantic comedy instead of some Juggernaut SciFi Epic.

I hear ya DKeady. Now I can just wait for to see an upcoming Kate Hudson vehicle with Boys Noize pulsing in the background.
ps I highly recommend a perusal of Kate Hudson's IMDB page... let's hope she can fit 'em all in before the strike!

In hate sex, the punching comes from the pelvis, not the fist. The basis is in two forms...
because I finally noticed you're not as hot as most chics I bang and I'm mad that I got that drunk again
OR
because you told me you cheated on me and I pretended to forgive you and this is the last time we'll ever have sex because WE JUST BROKE UP AND YOU ARE A DIRTY WHORE AND I HATE YOU!

This doesn't look so bad. There's definitely many many worse movies coming out.
