Longing For A Commitment…

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, Jane (Katherine Heigl) symbolizes the hopes and dreams of every woman who longs for their wedding day in 27 Dresses. Stuffed into one of the closets of her New York apartment are the 27 dresses that she has worn while watching others celebrate their special day. Along the way, she has developed the penchant to be an organizer of all the stressful details of a wedding: invitations, dresses, cake decorators, registry lists, etc. As a result, she sets herself up as a martyr of sorts, constantly giving of herself and her time for the sake of someone else.

All the while, she harbors a secret crush on her boss George (Ed Burns) whom she also serves hand-and-foot without much reciprocation or appreciation. Judging by the plaintive sighs that heard from the seats around me, Jane is not alone in her ache for marriage. As a guy, this may sound akin to being in chick-flick hell
