27 Dresses
PLOT:
Two things about Jane: she never says no to her friends (she’s been a bridesmaid 27 times and selflessly plans friends’ weddings), and she’s in love with her boss, George, nurturing dreams of a lovely, romantic wedding of her own. She meets Kevin, a cynical writer who finds her attractive, and that same week her flirtatious younger sister Tess comes to town. Jane silently watches George fall for Tess, a manipulative pretender. Worse, Jane may be called upon to plan their wedding. Meanwhile, Kevin tries to get Jane’s attention and has an idea that may advance his career. Can Jane uncork her feelings?
Review:
I liked this one - the dresses hideous - the comedy subtle - and the romance is not too obvious! I can’t make it a favorite, but I’d watch it again (mainly because through the whole movie I am picturing Dee’s closest of bridesmaid dresses - not 27 but somewhere in the ballpark of at least a dozen). This movie is good for an afternoon with the girlfriends and anyone about to be getting married! Maybe make the bride watch the movie before she sticks you in some hideous bridesmaid dress of your own! I give this one 3.5 out of 5 kernels.
