1/8

My Best Friend's Wedding turned 20 this week, and the romcom has become a firm favourite over the years!

The story follows Julianne (Julia Roberts), a no-nonsense food critic who becomes increasingly desperate as she attempts to derail her best friend's wedding (with the help of her vivescent editor) after realising that she is in love with him herself. Full of singing (with a terrible karaoke performance from Cameron Diaz!), humour and with an unusual ending for the genre, the film has come to be considered an absolute classic.

The cast of the film have had amazing careers since their roles in the box office hit, but how much have they changed over the years? Put on the movie's most memorable song, I Say a Little Prayer (For You), and click through our gallery to see how the stars of the movie look two decades later...
