About My Best Friend's Wedding

In the 1997 romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding, Julia Roberts stars as Julianne Potter, a food critic who realizes she's in love with her best friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney) just as he announces his engagement to someone else. With the help of her gay friend George (Rupert Everett), Julianne schemes to break up the happy couple and win Michael back.

Director P.J. Hogan infuses the film with a playful energy, and Roberts delivers a charming performance as the flawed but lovable Julianne. Everett steals scenes as the witty and wise George, and Mulroney brings a grounded sincerity to the role of Michael.

The film's soundtrack, featuring classic songs like "I Say a Little Prayer" and "The Way You Look Tonight," adds to the film's nostalgic appeal. My Best Friend's Wedding was a box office success, grossing over $299 million worldwide, and received positive reviews from critics.

Rolling Stone's Peter Travers praised the film as "a romantic comedy that's smart, funny and touching," while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "one of the year's best films." My Best Friend's Wedding remains a beloved classic of the genre, and a testament to the enduring appeal of Julia Roberts as a leading lady.
