Julia Roberts and her My Best Friend's Wedding castmates have reunited to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the movie.

The Pretty Woman star was joined by Cameron Diaz, Rupert Everett, and Dermot Mulroney for the cover of Entertainment Weekly's new issue, in which they talk about their memories of the hit film.

Julia told the publication she still thinks the 1997 comedy is "really clever", adding, "All the physical comedy, I loved. Lots of falling down and falling through things, falling all over myself, falling over Dermot.

"The scene, for me, that made it feel so authentic and earnest is when I finally tell Dermot’s character, 'Pick me. Let me make you happy'. Just that line: That’s just so succinct and sweet and meaningful."

Diaz admitted she still gets recognized for her role as Kimberly Wallace, stating, "People come up to me and just say, 'My Best Friend’s Wedding!' and I’m like, 'Aww'. It’s just this joyous feeling that you get off of them. I appreciate that so much."

Meanwhile, her sister-in-law, Nicole Richie, is "obsessed with the movie: "We went to Chicago, like, a year and a half ago, and she took me to every single (location).

"She’s like, 'Remember when you were walking down the street right here and then...' It was so much fun. I was like, 'Yes, I think I do'."

Roberts recently confessed she'd be open to making a sequel and reprising her role as Julianne Potter, a food critic who realizes she's in love with her best friend - played by Mulroney after he announces he's set to marry Diaz's character.

"I guess Kimmy (Diaz character) and Michael (Mulroney) are married and they probably have kids... and then there's me and Rupert," she said, musing the film's plot.

Julia and Dermot reunited as co-stars in Amazon Video's acclaimed 2018 series Homecoming, and he admitted he would also like to revisit their 1997 film.

"I'll tell you that movie has wormed its way further and further under my skin, and I see more and more layers of how it holds meaning and sustains as a piece, and obviously it's always been irresistible," the actor said. "I think there's only about four people on earth that could make a movie like that, and they include Rupert, Cameron, Julia, and me. So, let's have at it."
