Snapshot of Story:
The story is about a frustrated woman Annie played by Kristen Wiig who has been unlucky in love and find that her best friend is about to get married. She becomes determined to be the perfect maid of honor but the path to this becomes difficult as she faces competition from another woman who is also chosen to help in the wedding plan.
Kickstart to Storyline:
Kristen (Annie) gives a very convincing performance as the woman with no luck in her relationships and a mother she is not able to stand. Although the story is not about the actual relationships of man and woman but more of a perspective of woman’s behavior with each other and occasionally the men in their lives. All the women are deliberately portrayed with unique and distinct personalities which brings about the whole turns and twists in the movies with much comedy action.

Annie is determined to make a mark for herself as maid of honor, in a way to overcome the deficiencies in her present life. As a result she almost misses out on the strange fascination and attraction she has with a police officer. The police officer who goes onto become her friend, advisor and lover.
Throughout the movie there are many comical scenes as the bridesmaids meet and quarrel over things they want to do, each having their own points of view. However, Annies biggest competitor is the attractive Helen played by Rose Berne. She comes onto the scene to help Lillian get married and is allowed to make all the crucial decisions which naturally makes Annie very jealous.
There are very memorable moments in the movie including the scene where both get in front of the stage in a pre-engagement party and fight to vie for more attention. In another scene she comes to another party that was organized by Helen and ransacks the whole place out of sheer jealousy and rage.
In one comical scene Annie desperately tries to attract the attention of her boyfriend police officer by breaking every rule she can think of with her erratic driving.
In one poignant moment, we see Annie rediscover herself and in true spirit reconciles with Helen, her best friend and boyfriend.
Happy Ending:
The story ends with a happy note where all concerned makes up the mishaps that ocurr throughout the movie and become more close to each other.
Final Words:
The movie is a very light-hearted comedy and is very well executed and the acting by the entire troupe of women are well worth cheering for. Annie in particular plays a very grounded person who becomes entangled in the wrong relationships but eventually finds happiness within herself.
