Hey Everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful October.
I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies starring Julia Roberts, Dermont Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, Rupert Everett and a whole wonderful cast of people.
The movie starts out three weeks before Julie Potter's 28th birthday she is a New York food critic she is at a restaurant she receives a call from her lifelong friend Michael O'Neal who is a Chicago sports writer.
Years earlier they made a promise to each other when they both turned 28 and were unmarried they would marry each other, She is in for a surprise Micheal tells her he is getting married to a woman named Kimmy Wallace, her father owns the Chicago Red Sox she is an eight year college student.
Julie realizes she is love with Micheal and she decides to sabotage the wedding so Kimmy can't marry Micheal and she can have Micheal to herself.
Micheal tells her to come to Chicago to meet Kimmy and celebrate his wedding with him, she meets Kimmy and she asks her to be her maid of honor in her wedding.
Jules schemes to break up Kimmy and Micheal she takes them to a karaoke bar to humiliate Kimmy into singing her plan backfires on her everyone cheers kimmy on while she is singing and laughing and clapping along with the song she is singing and Micheal is in awe of her, how brave she was to sing in front of an audience when she knows that she can't really sing in tune.
she has fun anyway with singing and she is glad she did.. her next plan She has is to manipulates Kimmy into asking her father to give Micheal a job which Jules knows that will make Micheal upset, that plan fails too Julie is running out of time she decides to take her plan to another level Jules calls her friend George Downes for help because she is becoming frustrated.
George tells her to tell Micheal that she loves him, instead of doing that she tells Micheal she and George are engaged to make him jealous.
George decides to play along he embarrassed her at the restaurant with singing Aretha Franklins song I say a little Prayer for you everyone there sings along expect Julie, George has to go back home, Jules tells Micheal that her relationship with George is over.
Micheal admits to her that he was a little jealous of seeing her with another man that gives her an opening to Micheal how she really feels about him and how she cares for him.
She doesn't say anything and lets the moment pass later they go on a boat ride and Micheal realizes that is probably one of the last times they will be able to spend alone since he will be married soon and be with Kimmy they dance to a song that was their song when they were dating the song is the way you look tonight, it is a lovely scene he sings along to the song while dancing.
The day before the wedding Jules sneaks into Kimmy's dads office and she uses his computer to forge a message from him to Micheals boss asking that Micheal be fired to allow Kimmy's father to hire him at her insistence.
She decides to save the message and not send it, she lies to enlist Micheal's help saying she used walters office for her Job they find the door is locked they return back to the hotel Jules is currently staying in and Micheal has a voicemail from his boss notifying him of the email because Walter's secretary sent it because Walter told her he had emails on his computer that he wrote over his lunch time and to send them out.
He is raving mad he calls Kimmy and tells her the wedding is off, Jules sees that neither him or Kimmy has told anyone the wedding is off, she tries to manipulate the couple by saying it's bad manners to not tell anyone the wedding is canceled,
She doesn't have any luck and they decide to have the wedding after all..Julie decides to herself it's now or never she tells Micheal how much she loves him and kisses him passionately, unfortunately Kim Witnesses this and she is distraught and then she gets in her car and drives away, she is pursued by Micheal who in turn is pursued by Jules in a caterer's truck.
Jules makes a call to her friend George as she is chasing Micheal down and tells him that kimmy ruined everything and Micheal did not have a chance to respond because Kimmy came and saw what they were doing and ran away, he assures her that Micheal loves kimmy and that she still has time to make the situation right and make the wedding between Micheal and Kim happen before the time of the wedding is supposed to start.
I decided to write about this movie because it is a good family movie, and it has a lot of good and heart felt moments interwoven in the movie.
It will make you laugh and smile and make you feel what the character is feeling at a certain moment in the movie Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Dermont do an excellent Job in the movie, they really bring the characters to life and bring you into the role they are playing in the movie, and you can decide which character you are rooting for in the movie!
A fun fact is this movie came out the year I was born 1997 and it is also the same year the Cinderella Brandy movie came out .. I also chose this movie because it makes me think about what my wedding will be like one day and what bridesmaids I will have and who my maid of honor will be and where it will be located and how special and memorable the whole day will be!
Weddings are very beautiful and an amazing celebration its a moment that you will remember forever and years to come!
It will be a story that you can share with your kids and then your kids can share it with their kids... and it will continue on generation to generation...
My favorite scene from the movie is when Julie is chasing Micheal down in the van, and is freaking out to George over the telephone that is a funny scene, another scene I like is the restaurant scene where they sing I say a little prayer for you! The ending scene is very memorable too and touching, It will make your heart smile!
Remember always to say If you love and appreciate someone tell them right in that moment … Don’t let the moment pass you by….. Seize the day !
I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good Julia Roberts film!
