photossynopsis
Jane is an idealistic, romantic and completely selfless woman, a perennial bridal attendant whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. Jane has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself. Her entire life has been about making people happy--and she has a closet full of 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it. One memorable evening, Jane manages to shuttle between wedding receptions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, a feat witnessed by Kevin, a newspaper reporter who realizes that a story about this wedding junkie is his ticket off the newspaper’s bridal beat. Jane finds Kevin’s cynicism counter to everything she holds dear--namely weddings, and the two lock horns. Further complicating Jane’s once perfectly-ordered life is the arrival of younger sister Tess. Tess immediately captures the heart of Jane’s boss, George. Tess enlists her always-accommodating sister to plan yet another wedding--Tess and George’s--but Jane’s feelings for him lead to shocking revelations--and maybe the beginning of a new life.

Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna also wrote The Devil Wears Prada, but she's dipped her sharp wit in sentimental syrup. It helps to have Judy Greer around as Heigl's acid-tongued BFF.
Although it incorporates every boy-meets-girl, romantic-wedding-comedy cliche there is, 27 Dresses still sort of grows on you, thanks to Katherine Heigl's engaging performance. Story Then there are the 27 really bad bridesmaid dresses Heigl's character Jane keeps in her closet. Quite spectacular, really--ranging from a Goth rocker dress, dog collar and all, to a rodeo Western dress, complete with cowboy hat. You see, the completely selfless Jane is pretty much the world's best bridesmaid. She's
