27 Dresses (2008)

27 Dresses is a 2008 romantic comedy film directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. The film stars Katherine Heigl as Jane and James Marsden as Kevin.

Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) has been a bridesmaid for twenty-seven weddings. One night when she is attending two weddings almost simultaneously, she is trampled by a crowd trying to catch the bride's bouquet. A man helps her up and introduces himself as Kevin Doyle (James Marsden). He helps her to her taxi and brings her home. He is on his way home when he realizes Jane accidentally left her planner in the cab, and Kevin picks it up. It turns out that Kevin is the person who writes the Commitments page for the New York City Journal, under the pseudonym of Malcolm Doyle, who happens to be Jane's favorite writer. However, he aspires to write larger articles, real articles. After seeing Jane's planner, he decides to write about "the perpetual bridesmaid" so he can advance his career.
