Dresses for Success

Dedicated E-mail: 27 Dresses

So what if you had too much bubbly and made out with an hors d’oeuvre waiter in the back of coat check at your sister’s wedding? At least you had fun.

And you won’t have to do it 26 more times.

Unlike the main character in 27 Dresses, the new romantic comedy from the screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada. New Yorker Jane (played by Katherine Heigl) is literally always the bridesmaid, never the bride. And she has all 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it.

Reporter Kevin (James Marsden) thinks Jane’s plight is exactly the feature story he needs to climb the career ladder. But when Jane’s sister Tess unexpectedly arrives from Europe and falls for Jane’s boss (Ed Burns), Jane is enlisted to plan yet another wedding.

This one may be a bit tricky, though, considering she’s in love with the groom.

Makes you glad all you got for your trouble was an inconspicuous hickey and a salmon canape.
