My Best Friend's Wedding (1997)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 105m
Director: Paul J. Hogan
Cast: Julia Roberts, Rupert Everett, Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney
Synopsis:
A woman falls for her childhood friend, after he announces he is getting married, and is advised by the gay friend you really wish she could be with.
Review:
Modish wedding-based rom-com (cf. a multitude of films made around the same time with 'wedding' in the title), and an opportunity for Roberts to renew her stock over her younger competitor (which she did). Its most pleasing aspect, as in the same director's Muriel's Wedding, is the same-sex friendship between the leads, which in turn energised Everett's flagging career.
