The problem with extended adolescence
Is that you delay growing up until it hits you in the face. In this case it is when Jules best friend gets married to college cutie Cameron Diaz. With 72 hours to stop it all, Jules has to face that it is just too late.

My favorite romantic comedy of the 1990's
This is one of the best romantic comedies of the 1990's. Of course romantic comendies must be built on all forms of miscommunication and nonsense and this plot certainly has its share of webs of deception and mistaken intentions. The screenplay is great, full of wit and plot twists and turns. The lines are witty with excellent delivery by a superb cast of actors. All the cast does an excellent job. This was the film that Cameron Diaz launched her career into the stratosphere. The scene where she sings off key to Dermot Mulroney could not be better. Rupert Everett is at his best, playing Julia Robert's gay friend and advisor. He gets many of the best lines as well as getting to play the voice of reason amongst the wild passions of the other characters. If you wish to be thoroughly entertained, humored, kept on your toes, and left feeling better about the human condition, I would certainly recommend this film.

Summed up in her own words.
Julia Robert's character, Julianne, sums up the entire movie in one line near the end; 'Since I got here, I have done nothing but underhanded, despicable, not even terribly imaginative things.'
That's not to say that there are not some very funny moments in this movie, most of which are musical. The opening credits are a brilliant rendition of "Wishin' and a Hopin', the karaoke bar scene where a young, scene-stealing Cameron Diaz puts everything into an off-key, "Don't know what to do with myself", the restaurant scene with a wonderful ensemble "Say a Little Prayer." Heck, even the helium-balloon singing is funny.
But overall the movie consists of watching as Julia Robert's character does 'nothing but underhanded, despicable, not even terribly imaginative things', before the obvious redemption at the end.
