27 Dresses

"I feel like I just found out my favorite love song was written about a sandwich."

Everyone has a calling, and while the opening credits roll we learn that Jane's (Heigl) calling is to be a bridesmaid in many weddings. Jane is in two weddings on the same night, running back and forth between the two. During her running (and changing in the cab) she catches the eye of Kevin (Marsden) a cynical newspaperman, who writes wedding announcements. He decides to write a piece about the multiple weddings she has been in...in the past year.

Meanwhile, Jane is in love with her boss George (Burns). After she receives flowers, which she believes are from George, she invites her visiting sister Tess (Akerman) to come to an office party. George and Tess fall in love...of course... breaking Jane's heart. As their wedding approaches, Jane gets closer to Kevin, because he is going to write about it.


Ultimately I thought this film was predictable...it was a nice chick flick, but that is the best it will ever be. Trying on all (27) of the dresses was funny, and I enjoyed the ending as well but in general it was just o.k.

--: there were some interesting lines, and if nothing else there was drunk karaoke ("Benny and the Jets"), and that in and of itself was fascinating
