Collection of three romantic comedies.
’27 Dresses’ (2008) revolves around a woman who’s always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) has led a selfless, romantic life, always putting others’ needs first and her own last, especially when it comes to marriage. With 27 bridesmaid’s dresses in her cupboard, Jane is beginning to see a pattern developing. Scuttling between receptions one evening, she’s spotted by a cynical local reporter (James Marsden) who sees her story as the ideal vehicle to move up the career ladder. But when her younger sister, Tess (Malin Akerman), makes moves on her boss, George (Edward Burns), who she secretly adores, Jane finally realises it’s time to grab her life by the horns before it’s too late.
In ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ (2006), Andrea (Anne Hathaway) is a bright young woman from the Midwest who has just graduated from college and wants to work as a magazine writer. She has applied for a job at ‘Runway’, America’s most prestigious fashion journal. Andy has little interest in the garment trade, but it is one of the only magazines in New York with a job opening – second assistant to editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). As Andy discovers, Miranda is a diva with plenty of power in the magazine business, and she isn’t afraid to use that power. Though Andy lands the job, she soon learns that working for Miranda could test the patience of a saint, thanks to her endless demands and refusal to acknowledge the end of a work day. Andy struggles to hold on to the job and her sanity, knowing that a recommendation from Miranda can open nearly any door at any magazine – but can she handle the pressure without losing her mind along the way?
Finally, ‘In Her Shoes’ (2005) is about two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 and a half feet. Maggie (Cameron Diaz) and Rose (Toni Collette) Feller are both best friends and polar opposites when it comes to values, goals and personal style. Maggie is a party girl who barely graduated from high school, recycles jobs as quickly as yesterday’s newspapers and believes her biggest asset is her attractiveness to the opposite sex. Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually homeless as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and relatives. With no confidence in her intellectual ability, she prizes makeup over books and has an innate talent for choosing the perfect accessories and clothes for any occasion. Rose (Toni Collette) is a Princeton-educated attorney at a top law firm in Philadelphia. Her beautifully decorated prewar apartment is her haven from the outside world. With her nose perpetually to the grindstone, she struggles constantly with her weight and never feels comfortable in the clothes she wears. Her low self-esteem regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life nonexistent. Rose’s one joy in life is shoes (because they always fit), but unfortunately she has few social opportunities to remove them from her closet. After a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another – aided along the way by the discovery of Ella (Shirley MacLaine), the maternal grandmother they thought was dead. Through their reconnection with their grandmother, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other.
