Katherine Heigl re-creates her famous ‘27 Dresses’ dance to Elton John’s ‘Bennie and the Jets’

Katherine Heigl recreated a key scene from her 2008 movie “27 Dresses” at a 2024 Emmys after-party in LA on Monday night.Heigl, 45, who attended the ceremony as part of a “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion, took center stage in her long Reem Acre red gown at the after-party by swinging her hips and dancing solo to Elton John’s 1974 hit song “Bennie and the Jets.”In “27 Dresses,” in which she co-starred opposite James Marsden, Heigl’s character, Jane, and Marsden’s Kevin bond over their love for “Bennie and the Jets.” They then get up on a bar and sing along to the tune — leading the crowd in a jumbled sing-along (Jane is barefoot) and ending the iconic scene by kissing each other.Earlier in the scene, Jane and Kevin totally mix up the song’s lyrics — Jane says “She’s got electric boobs” instead of “She’s got electric boots” — adding to the couple’s joy in their barroom.Heigl’s dance Monday night at the Emmys after-party was posted on Instagram by the party’s DJ, Benjamin Walker, who added: “I love a good rom-com so when I saw @katherineheigl, I knew IMMEDIATELY there was one song to end the night and one song only … #IYKYK #27dresses.”“27 Dresses,” which also co-starred Malin Akerman, Edward Burns and Judy Greer, was directed by Anne Fletcher and revolved around Jane, who’s “always the bridesmaid, never a bride” and has been in 27 weddings wearing different dresses.Eventually she falls in love with Kevin after he writes an article about her experience as a professional bridesmaid.The movie’s main characters reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in 2019, and said they would be interested in doing a sequel, should the opportunity arise.“I want to do a sequel,” Heigl said at the time.

‘Hocus Pocus 2’ Reviews: Critics Love the Sanderson Sister Reunion, But Not So Much the Story
“Hocus Pocus 2.” And among critics, the sequel is faring better than its predecessor originally did — but only just.For the most part, reviews seem to be split between enjoying the nostalgia of “Hocus Pocus 2,” and wanting it to build more upon the original. Where The Hollywood Reporter’s Lovia Gyarkye argues that the sequel “honors its history without knowing quite how to move beyond it,” and IndieWire’s Jude Dry says it “hews closely to the original, perhaps a little too much,” others disagree.The AV Club’s Phil Pirrello wrote that “Using ‘Hocus Pocus’ more like a modular foundation than sacrosanct canon, director Anne Fletcher (Netflix’s “Dumplin’”) and screenwriter Jen D’Angelo find an inventive way of expanding upon the OG movie by reaching into the main characters’ past and softening the trio of witches’ more sinister edges as they once again wreak their unique, PG-brand of havoc on the town of Salem.”IGN’s Amelia Emberwing noted that it’s odd the movie doesn’t film in Salem, but nonetheless, “It’s wonderfully nostalgic that ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ feels like the Disney Channel Original Movies of yore.”Really, critics are just happy to see Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker back together again as the beloved witchy trio.
