My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)
Cynical food critic Julianne “Jules” Potter (Julia Roberts) tries to sabotage the wedding of her best friend, sportswriter Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney) to the wide-eyed Kimmy (Cameron Diaz).
If you remember this as a silly romantic comedy, watch it again — it’s another movie for grown-ups, about pursuing and giving up your dreams, and when to sell out and when to stay true. The kinds of questions journalists wrestle with constantly.
Jules does things that are wildly unethical and jerky, but also learns to not be selfish.
