What happens

27 Dresses is a 2008 American romantic comedy film directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. It stars Katherine Heigl, with James Marsden, Edward Burns, Malin Akerman, and Judy Greer in supporting roles. Produced by Spyglass Entertainment and distributed by 20th Century Fox, the film was conceived following the success of McKenna's screenplay for The Devil Wears Prada (2006). Principal photography took place in New York City and Rhode Island from May to July 2007. After Jane Nichols has been a bridesmaid 27 times, she reaches a turning point when her younger sister Tess swoops by her work one day, capturing the attention of her boss George, whom Jane secretly loves, and rapidly becoming engaged to him. 27 Dresses premiered in Los Angeles on January 9, 2008, and was released theatrically in the United States on January 18. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Heigl's performance and criticism of its formulaic plot. It was a commercial success, grossing $162.7 million worldwide against a $30 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
