Coming up next we have 2008's "27 Dresses", a film about a woman who has been twenty-seven times a bridesmaid but never a bride. When the man she secretly loves becomes engaged to her sister, she's got to find a way forward and, perhaps, find her own happily ever after.
The film's cast includes Katherine Heigl, James Marsden, Edward Burns, Malin Akerman, Judy Greer, Melora Hardin, Maulik Pancholy, Krysten Ritter, and Peyton List.
Jane Nichols is a woman with a passion. She loves weddings. In fact, she has been a bridesmaid at twenty-seven of them.
During a mishap at one of the weddings, she meets writer and love-cynic Kevin Doyle. After he sees her safely home, he finds her event planner in the taxi cab they shared.
He shows it to his boss. They're both very intrigued by the fact that she has been in so many weddings, and Kevin is given inspiration for future stories.
Jane becomes very upset one day when her boss (and secret crush) George becomes enamored with her sister Tess.
She's forced to watch their relationship play out, maintaining her silence and becoming increasingly uncomfortable and a bit resentful.
Even Jane's best friend Casey is shocked at their behavior, reacting in disgust at their public displays of affection.
Jane is dealt the ultimate blow when Tess and George suddenly announce their engagement and ask her to be the wedding planner. She's also forced to suffer the unpleasantness of Tess using their mother's own wedding dress for her special day.
Kevin is assigned to cover Tess and George's wedding for his newspaper, and he comes to interview Jane. She's not thrilled, because she hasn't enjoyed the interactions she's had so far with him.
Over the course of the interview, Kevin gets a glimpse of Jane's bridesmaid dress closet and is intrigued. Initially reluctant to give him a better view, Jane opens up and even starts to enjoy herself.
We are then treated to quite the fashion show of wedding dresses. There is some major variety, and Kevin is both amused and repulsed by some of the selections.
By the end of the film (and after a bunch of obstacles leading up to this moment), Kevin and Jane realize that they are each other's happily ever after.
And Jane is especially gratified that all of the brides who asked her to help them have stepped up and are there for her (in the dresses they made her wear).

And that's it for 27 Dresses. The wardrobe department said that their first designs for the bridesmaids dresses owned by Jane looked too good on Katherine Heigl, and they had to work really hard to design outfits that wouldn't compliment her. Katherine Heigl plays the older sister of Malin Akerman, however Akerman is older than Heigl.
