They say, “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride”
It’s a classic themed movie about our reliable, never-say-no Jane. Here’re what we can say about her: modestly beautiful, lonely but eternally hopeful, devoted…and also a sincere doormat for almost everyone. Lol. Of course everyone in her office knew how deeply in love she was with her boss, George..except the boss himself of course!
A romantic naive, she truly believed that by always being there in her friend’s greatest day (even though it meant being silmutaneously in 2 weddings in one night!), she would finally find her soul mate (hopefully George) and when it did, her friends would be there for her. Plus, she was also a faithful fan of “Commitments” column in the Sunday Wedding section of New York Journal.
So Jane had found her dream career: a bridesmaid who kept all the 27 dresses (and the dreams in each one of it) of those weddings she became one. And of course finally, our waiting-for-her-prince-on-a-white-horse Jane met with Kevin (later turned out to be the secret writer of Commitments) who was a jaunty, cynic, and pain in the arse. NB: in case u haven’t known yet, he’s the ridiculous prince in Enchanted, but here, he’s so charming!! Being so curious of her since they first met, Kevin just never stopped courting her
As if it wasn’t a nuisance enough, Jane got her little sister Tess, came visiting. As she was so stunningly beautiful – although shallow and selfish at the same time – it could be readily guessed that George then fell in love with Tess, instead of Jane, from the first sight. Again, unable to say no, she ended up being the wedding organizer and bridesmaid for her sister’s wedding with the man she loved – in her dream wedding.
On the process, Jane had to couple up with Kevin, as he said that he would be writing about Tess’ wedding. Despite all their disputes, she came to find out that they did have some similarities, unlike her and George. But Kevin then found out how Jane’s actually in love with her future brother-in-law and Jane found out Kevin’s hidden motive to her. Being so sick of everything, including Tess’ lies to George, Jane then blurted out all the truths – and her repressed feelings – just before the D-Day, causing the wedding to be canceled.
Of course in the end everything ended up well and Jane finally found her true Mr Right. The movie was a cliche. But as I’m still a regular woman who love all these craps of romance, I love this movie! And I especially love the songs featured in it, “Call Me Irresponsible”, “Lady West”, and definitely “Bennie and The Jets”!
