Our first film today was "27 Dresses," which also happens to be our first romantic comedy/chick flick. This project is the best excuse that I have had in awhile to get Mike to watch these types of movies with me. I secretly think he enjoys them, but that could just be me trying to make myself feel better for forcing him to watch with me!!
Of course as is the case with all romantic comedies, you have the penultimate single girl, in this case, Jane, who has yet to find the "right one." In this instance, Jane is the epitome of the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" adage...literally. In this movie, Jane has been a bridesmaid 27 times, hence the number of dresses in the title.
This is one of my (Lindsay) favorite romantic comedies, as it combines romance and comedy (DUH!) with weddings and hideous dresses. The best of the worst is the sari that Jane has to wear to the Hindu/Jewish wedding. The worst of the worst is the underwater wedding outfit, consisting of bathing suit with tulle overlay, pink flippers, snorkel and yes, you guessed it, flower decorated swim cap. Of course in the end, girl gets the boy and everyone lives happily ever after and Jane's 27 bridesmaid dresses make a special appearance at her own wedding...sigh.
Run Time: 111 Minutes

Keep checking in, as our next movie is "(The) 40-Year-Old Virgin" featuring the always funny Steve Carell, Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.
