Plot summary

(4 votes)

After going to a wedding as a flowergirl and saving the bride when she was a child, Jane (Katherine Heigl) decides that she will be a bridesmaid when she grows up.

The movie starts with her grown up and in a hectic night, during which she has two weddings to attend as bridesmaid. She has to go back and forth to the different weddings in a taxi but has different bridesmaid costumes to wear. So she changes in the back of the taxi and tells the taxi driver not to look in the rear view mirror if she gives him $300. Every time the driver looked, she would deduct $20. In the end she had to pay him $180. (Oh the taxi driver is such a pervert)

She is trampled by the crowd trying to catch the bouquet of flowers and gets knocked out. When she comes to, a man who introduces himself as Kevin Doyle helps her up. He is in fact her favourite news writer by his other name of Malcolm Doyle. He offers to take Jane home and on the way, expresses his feelings of dislike to weddings. With the result that when Jane gets out of the car, she positively hates him and never wants to see him again.

Jane's sister Tess comes to town and falls in love with Jane's boss, who Jane secretly has a crush on. Eventually they are going to be married and Tess wants Jane to be her bridesmaid. Tess does everything Jane wanted to do when she got married and much more-including cutting up their mother's wedding dress...

Continuity mistake: In the final scene of the movie when Jane gets married on the beach, you see guests arriving and Tess is handing out programs. She hands a program to a blond girl with a brown polka dot dress. In the next shot, we see Tess talking to George and the same woman arrives again and Tess hands her a program again.

Jane: You do?
Kevin: Yes, you kept repeating that over and over last night - I never do anything like this... I NEVER do anything like this... I never do ANYTHING like this.

More quotes from 27 Dresses

Trivia: Although the movie title is "27 Dresses", one of Jane's bridesmaid outfits is actually a man's black suit and tie (pant suit), and not a dress at all. This is shown at the end during Jane and Kevin's wedding. So really the movie should be called "26 Dresses and One Suit."

More trivia for 27 Dresses

Question: When Tess reveals to Jane that she has booked the Boat House as the location of the wedding she explains that she was only able to book it because of a cancellation. She then goes on to give details of that cancellation. How would she know those details and why would the people that booked her even give her those details or even know them at all themselves? Those things seem private even if it is based on fictional events.

Answer: I'm sure the person in charge of booking the location has these details. Sure it was unprofessional to give these details out, but it happens all the time.
