longtime friend
 My Best Friend's Wedding $7.99 The opening credits song/dance number foreshadows the outcome of the story. What could be better than purity personified, "Kimmy," who is willing to do more than simply "wear your hair just for him" and "do the things he likes to do?" She decides to drop out of school (I suppose if you are an heiress, you will never have to worry about supporting yourself) to marry constantly-on-the-road sports writer, Michael. It's difficult to imagine that any man would not choose a grown-up, talented, confident, successful,and gorgeous "Julianne" over Kimmy except Julianne remains uncomfortable with "the yucky love stuff," despite her assurances to Michael that she has changed. Only when faced with her last opportunity to confess her feelings to Michael does she finally admit to being in love with him. Kimmy, on the other hand, has mastered "hugging, squeezing, kissing, and loving," even in public (as evidenced by the karaoke bar scene) unlike Julianne who consistently refuses to participate in PDA (i.e., public displays of affection). And, of course, to ensure audience ambivalence, Julianne resorts to some pretty nasty tricks to win Michael back. In the end, Julianne presumably mends her friendship with Michael but still has steadfast George (who is her de facto best friend). Am I the only fan of this film who sees it as sexist commentary??? Nevertheless, I find the irony as irresistible as some of you find Kimmy.
