Food writer Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) panics when she gets word that her longtime platonic pal, Michael (Dermot), is finally getting hitched, to a debutante named Kimberly (Cameron Diaz). With assistance from her gay companion (Rupert Everett) -- and to the accompaniment of Burt Bacharach tunes -- she sets out to sabotage the wedding and make a last-minute play for her man. James Newton Howard's score received an Oscar nomination.
