"I guess we have to. I know the estate pretty well, there's a lot of good places to bury the body where they'll never find it."
"Uh Rach, kill is just an expression."
Best friends Abigail (Symone) and Parker (Garcia), left their home town as soon as possible to pursue their dreams. Abigail wrote a bestseller, but can't find a follow-up story. Parker moved to New York to become an actress, but she is not getting call-backs. They go home for Parker's parents anniversary, and are reunited with their other two childhood friends: shy Rachel (Whitehead) and spoiled Caitlyn (Williams). Caitlyn grew up getting everything she wanted, and is now engaged to Rachel's ex-boyfriend, Tony (Brocato).
The learn that Tony and Caitlyn are getting married for 2 reasons: she is pregnant and his family is wealthy. Parker and Abigail decide to go undercover as bridesmaids to break up the wedding and give Rachel the happy ending she deserves.
Sure, this movie was made for ABC Family Channel, but it is still funny and engaging. Raven Symone and Joanna Garcia, both TV vets, have great chemistry and seem to be having a blast. They are a bit over the top, but that is what is needed for the roles. Beth Broderick is evil, in an exaggerated villain. And you can't help but dislike Virginia Williams' Caitlyn. Chryssie Whitehead portrays the most realistic character, Rachel, who gets a few memorable lines. The male characters don't get to do much, but most men don't in wedding films.
Not a great movie, but good for a laid-back girls night.
