3.5/5
"Fall-down funny moments."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

76/100
"It’s funny as hell -- not in a rolling-in-the-aisles kind of way -- but in the sly smile, knowing glance, growling chuckle kind of way."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

2.5/4
"An uneasy mix of well-realized humor and unrealized sadness."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  David N. Butterworth

B-
"A romantic comedy that is both mawkish and subversive."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

6/10
"A romantic comedy significantly darker, more realistic and more intelligent than Hollywood examples of the same genre."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

"A rare kind of film that will send you back to the streets feeling giddy."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"My Best Friend's Wedding has a bit of an edge and enough intelligence to keep it from drowning in the kind of mawkish sentimentality that often makes this sort of movie hard-to-swallow."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"Hey, I actually really liked this picture."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

3.5/4
"My Best Friend's Wedding is effective -- some might say manipulative -- at winning you over to its side."  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

"Is there a more charisma-bereft actor in Hollywood than Dermot Mulroney?"  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3.5/4
"The Roberts audiences knew and loved is back--not only has the smile returned, but also the glow, the joy of performance."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

3.5/4
"One of the things that makes My Best Friend's Wedding such a terrific romantic comedy is that it refuses to play it safe."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

10/10
"Everett is very charming."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

C+
"For those of us not so enthralled with Ms. Roberts, you'll have to endure the movie, but will be mildly entertained with good, old music and some stellar comedy provided almost entirely by Rupert Everett."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
