My Best Friend's Wedding/我最好朋友的婚礼

This is a very well funny light comedy about marriage and love. What if your best friend is getting married but his/her better-half is not you? Such topics are both easy and vulnerable. The easy side is: there are enough natural conflicts for directors for filming, while the vulnerable side is the whole movie might be ruined if there were not tight control.

Yet, I think P.J. Hogan the director did a good job. There are enough conflicts and laughing, while everyone acts logically and naturally, and the turnover is pleasant and acceptable. A good one.

Quotes:
George Downes: The misery, the exquisite tragedy. The Susan Hayward of it all. I can just picture you there, sitting alone at your table in your lavender gown.
Julianne Potter: Did I tell you my gown was lavender?
George Downes: Hair swept up. Haven't touched your cake. Probably drumming your fingernails on the white linen tablecloth, the way you do when you're really feeling down. Perhaps looking at those nails thinking: 'God, I should have stopped in all my evil plotting to have that manicure, but it's too late now.
Julianne Potter: George, I didn't tell you my dress was lavender.
George Downes: Suddenly, a familiar song. And, you're off your chair in one, exquisite movement... wondering, searching, sniffing the wind like a dapple deer. Has God heard your little prayer? Will Cinderella dance again? And then, suddenly, the crowds part and there he is: sleek, stylish... radiant with charisma. Bizarrely, he's on the telephone. But then, so are you. And then he comes towards you... the moves of a jungle cat. Although you quite correctly sense that he is... gay... like most devastatingly handsome single men of his age are, you think... what the hell. Life goes on. Maybe there won't be marriage... maybe there won't be sex... but, by God, there'll be dancing.
