Earlier this year, my wife saw 27 Dresses in the theater (with her sisters); she humored me and she watched it again (with me) tonight. The film is a romantic comedy based on the the expression "always a bridesmaid but never a bride". The main character, Jane, has been a bridesmaid 27 times but never a bride. She is a part-time wedding planning and a full-time executive assistant. She has a secret crush on her boss, and has done nothing about it for some time (like a decade I think). When Jane's sister arrives unexpectedly in town and successfully woos/seduces Jane's boss, becoming engaged in the process. Jane's staid and conservative take-one-for-the-team demeanor is pushed to the breaking point. Meanwhile, Jane is being chased by a reporter on the local wedding circuit seeking a story documenting Jane's sad tale of bridesmaid-dom. Jane is repulsed at first, but then (of course) Jane and the reporter end up falling in love, split up over a misunderstanding, reunite, and then live happily ever after. The End. Summary: As one reviewer appropriately noted... "If there's a romantic comedy cliché missed in 27 Dresses, I'm not sure what it is." Indeed.
