Katherine Heigl, who earlier this year got
“Knocked Up” in the hit motion picture comedy from Judd
Apatow, and nabbed an Emmy® for her starring role as a
surgical resident in “Grey’s Anatomy,” is always a
bridesmaid but never a bride in the romantic comedy 27
DRESSES. From the screenwriter of “The Devil Wears Prada,”
27 DRESSES centers on Jane (Heigl), an idealistic, romantic
and completely selfless woman…a perennial bridal attendant
whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger
sister Tess captures the heart of Jane’s boss – with whom
she is secretly in love – Jane begins to reexamine her
“always-a-bridesmaid….” lifestyle.
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 (James Marsden), 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 (Malin Akerman). Tess
immediately captures the heart of Jane’s boss, George
(Edward Burns). 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.
