" No, no, no, no. I'm a busy girl. I've got exactly four days to break up a wedding, steal the bride's fella and I haven't one clue how to do it. "
My Bestfriend's Wedding
'My Best Friend's Wedding' is based upon a rather bizarre relationship between a young woman and her male best friend. The two were primarily extremely close and the friendship turned into a relationship which was short lived as Julianne was not completely sure about the relationship and was slightly embarrassed by Michael's public shows of affection. The short lived relationship seems almost one-sided by Michael this all soon changes when Julianne hears that Michael is engaged to be married and he wants her to come along and be his unofficial best man.
From that part in the film Julianne takes it upon herself to try and stop the marriage so that she can instead be with Michael as she now realises she wants to be and knows that he used to. The film presents us with all the hilarious ups and down as well as the bizarre anecdotes that Julianne goes through with the bride-to-be Kimberley. The film presents the viewing audience with the three stages of a film such as equilibrium when Michael announces to Julianne that's he's engaged to be married, disequilibrium when Julianne conjures up the plan of breaking up the wedding and stealing the groom, creating an email to try and get Michael sacked from his job but making it seem like the email came on the behalf of Kimberley's father Walter, as well as her kissing the groom in the presence of Kimberley. Resolution when Julianne informs Michael that she wrote the email but never meant for it to be sent, finds Kim and apologises for her kissing/trying to steal Michael and takes her to the church where Kimberley marries the man of their dreams. The film shows that with all the mishaps that happened to this couple they still manage to overcome all their problems and get married. Which sort of portrays the message that true love conquers all.
