27 dresses

Okay, I lost my english there for a while... But now I'm back on track! :))

I've just seen a chic flick called 27 dresses. It's about Jane, an eternal bridesmaid who's been obsessing about weddings since she was eight. She's a girl who's afraid to say now, always pleases other and never thinks about herself. She's in love with her boss, whom she always goes out of her way to assist in every way, while he doesn't seem to notice her. In her home she has kept all the 27 bridesmaid dresses she has had, along with a bunch of sappy wedding articles from the famous wedding-reporter Malcolm Doyle. Basically, she's dreaming about the wedding she wants but never have the time to make it happen.



On one of her bridesmaid-missions, she mets Kevin, a cynical man whom belives weddings are blowned out of porportions now-a-days, with all them bridezillas and the craze surrounding the wedding (the presents, the details, the big consumption of wedding related stuff...). She immediately loaths him, and tries to do everything to get rid of him, but he's intrigued by her.  Things arent going the way Jane wants them to go, and in the midst of all this, her egocentric sister swoops in and steals her beloved boss right in front of her. Soon, Jane is stuck planning the wedding of her dream, between her sister and the man she loves...

This is a good movie about life, love and learning to say NO. What I really like about is (and so many other chic flicks) is the moment when everything she has built up seems to be tumbling down, and she has to rebuild herself in a new fashion. Maybe she has had a revelation, an epiphany or some other strange thought, just some sort of moments where she herself just has had enough and realises she needs to prioritize herself. And when things are set in motion, all you get is this feel-good-feeling about it. Okay, maybe it's not what she had in mind or dreamed about, but it's on the way of becoming her perfect life.... :)

Sappy ol' Fia again, ey? ;)
