In what seems to be a typical romantic comedy, the cast of “27 Dresses” offers a twist that leaves you thinking anything can happen in love.

Directed by Anne Fletcher, who also directed “Step Up,” “27 Dresses” is a story of an emotionally suppressed singleton who cannot never tell anyone “no.” 

Jane (Katherine Heigl), having been in a total of 27 weddings as a bridesmaid, finds herself in more weddings than there are hours in a day.

 Jane’s boss, George (Ed Burns), is the caring boss with whom Jane is madly and secretly in love. However, when Jane’s “model” sister, Tess, comes into town from California, she and George spot each other and fall in love. 

The engagement between George and Tess is immediate and a heartbroken Jane is left to plan it. 

During the bouquet toss at one of the weddings, Jane’s eyes are wide with excitement and fear when suddenly she is ambushed and knocked down by crazed single woman hoping to be “the one” to catch it.  

She opens her eyes to a heroic, handsome Kevin (James Marsden) kneeling over her. 

Kevin is a writer for the Commitments column in the New York Journal and covers weddings.

Kevin and Jane are off to a rough start, as his cynicism and Jane’s love for the excitement of weddings clash.

Jane is on a one-woman mission to reclaim herself. 

This movie consists of a few quick, witty one-liners that will make you laugh and remember it.

There are lasting moments when you feel Jane’s happiness and bear the hardship of her frustrations. 

There are other times you’re enduring the repetitive scenes of another chick flick that you have seen a hundred times before, sitting in the middle of an estrogen festival with the sound of popcorn being munched in your ears.
