27 Dresses – in Cinemas on Valentine’s Day 2008

Valentine’s Day is known as the day of lovers. There are Valentine’s cards, Valentine’s confectionery, Valentine’s flowers – in Japan men are given gifts by women, and the Chinese counterpart to this day is called Qixi. But however and wherever this day is celebrated, it always revolves around finding a partner, being in love and love. In keeping with this theme, 20th Century Fox of Germany is bringing the romantic comedy 27 DRESSES to cinemas on February 14.

This is also about love: Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) is young, pretty, successful, but still single. However, she has no time to take care of her own romantic happiness, as she is fully occupied with her passion, organising weddings. In 27 evening dresses that would be perfect for a fashion show of their own, she stands by all her friends with full bridal power. Only she herself has not yet dared.

When her boss George (Ed Burns) falls in love with her younger, very attractive sister Tess (Malin Akerman) and wants to marry her shortly afterwards, another celebration has to be planned. There is only one problem: Jane herself has been in love with George for a long time. And when wedding columnist Kevin (James Marsden) also appears on the scene, the emotional chaos is complete. The twists and turns surrounding the search for Mr. Right take their course and end surprisingly – for everyone involved.

After her sensational success as Isobel “Izzie” Stevens in Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl can now be seen alongside actor James Marsden (X-MEN, X-MEN 2, X-MEN – THE LAST STAND, HAIRSPRAY) and Ed Burns (THE SOLDIER JAMES RYAN, 15 MINUTES OF FAME) in the romantic comedy 27 DRESSES. The screenplay for 27 DRESSES was written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who also wrote the script for THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA.
