Movies Opening Today:

Aliens, Godzilla or even Voltron; since the first trailer five months ago, J.J.

After costarring in last year’s comedy Knocked Up, Katherine Heigl returns to the genre in 27 Dresses as Jane, a seemingly permanent bridesmaid for her friends and family, who attempts to change her lifestyle after finding out that she may lose the man she’s secretly in love with. Also starring James Marsden and Edward Burns. PG-13.
