An Excerpt from Dave White's Seminal Review of 27 Dresses (2008)

"Welcome to 2008, an enlightened time when women aren't obsessed with weddings and willing to waste years of their lives secretly pining for male-genitalia-having blocks of wood; a time of assertive, interesting, vibrant women who've absorbed the lessons of their hippie feminist mothers and realized that no man who uses them and lies to them and publicly humiliates them is worth one more second of however much time he's been given. Except in this movie, which takes place in Crazy Backwards Shallow Values Land and where everyone's a moron."
 -- Dave White

See, romantic comedies can teach us something.  You can read the complete review here. He wrote this review seven years ago, but it's equally true in our time.
