Julianne fell in love with her best friend when he decided to marry someone else

Julianne Potter is a New York food critic who is three weeks away from turning 28. One day she gets a call from Michael O'Neal, a lifelong friend and sports journalist in Chicago, who tells her he is getting married in a few days to Kimmy Wallace, a much younger student from high society. After hanging up, Julianne realizes she has always been in love with Michael and begins looking for a way to stop the wedding. P. J. Hogan directs this romantic comedy, starring Julia Roberts as Julianne and Cameron Diaz as the bride-to-be.
