Description: Annie Walker is a single woman in her mid-thirties living in Milwaukee. After her bakery fails due to the recession, her boyfriend leaves her, and she loses her savings. Losing her passion for baking, Annie now works at a jewelry store and shares an apartment with Gil and Brynn, two obnoxious English immigrant siblings. She has a casual relationship with Ted, who is rude and self-absorbed, though she secretly hopes for something more. Her only bright spot is her lifelong best friend, Lillian. When Lillian gets engaged to her boyfriend, Doug, she asks Annie to be her maid of honor.
During the engagement party, Annie meets the bridesmaids: Lillian’s cynical cousin Rita, the naïve newlywed Becca, Doug’s blunt but friendly sister Megan, and Helen, the wealthy and beautiful wife of Doug’s boss. Annie and Helen immediately clash due to their jealousy over Lillian’s friendship. Their rivalry grows as they compete for Lillian’s attention.
Annie takes the bridesmaids to a Brazilian steakhouse before visiting a chic bridal shop. However, Helen uses her connections to get them in since Annie forgot to make a reservation. While trying on dresses, everyone except Helen suffers from food poisoning, leading to a series of embarrassing incidents, including Lillian defecating in the street while wearing a wedding dress.
When planning the bachelorette party, Annie suggests Lillian’s parents’ lakehouse, but Helen overrules her with a Las Vegas trip. Unable to afford a first-class ticket and too proud to accept one from Helen, Annie books an economy seat. The trip goes awry when Annie, given a sedative and alcohol by Helen to calm her fear of flying, hallucinates and causes a scene, forcing an emergency landing in Casper, Wyoming. The group returns home by bus, and Lillian decides to let Helen take over the wedding planning.
