27 Dresses 🎥 2008 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Jane Nichols has served as a bridesmaid at 27 weddings, consistently putting others’ needs before her own. One night, while attending two ceremonies on the same evening, she meets Kevin Doyle, a cynical writer who disdains the romantic ideals Jane embraces. After sharing a cab, Jane accidentally leaves behind her day planner, which Kevin uses to learn more about her. Writing under the pseudonym “Malcolm,” Kevin sees Jane as the subject for a potential story. Jane’s younger sister, Tess, returns from Europe and soon begins a relationship with Jane’s boss, George, for whom Jane harbors unspoken feelings.

Tess pretends to share George’s interests to impress him, and the two quickly become engaged. Jane, though heartbroken, agrees to plan their wedding. Kevin, assigned to cover Tess and George’s wedding for the newspaper’s Commitments section, continues researching Jane while concealing his true intentions. During the process, he and Jane begin to bond. She reveals her closet of 27 bridesmaid dresses, which Kevin photographs. Though he develops genuine feelings for her, his article is published without her knowledge. When Jane discovers the piece, she feels betrayed and ends their relationship. Meanwhile, Tess’s deceptions begin to unravel. She destroys their late mother’s wedding gown for her own use, prompting a rift with Jane.

At Tess’s engagement party, Jane retaliates by showing a slideshow that exposes Tess’s fabrications. When George learns that Tess has been dishonest and manipulative, including paying a young boy he mentors to clean his apartment, he calls off the wedding. At work, George compliments Jane for her reliability, echoing a past remark from Kevin that she never says no. Realizing her motivations have been driven by unrequited love, Jane quits her job. After a brief kiss with George, she acknowledges her feelings for him have faded. She later finds Kevin at another wedding and confesses her love.
