<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">During an ostentatious
wedding reception at a Knoxville ,
Tennessee , estate, five
reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each
with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. As the afternoon wears on,
these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this
wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit.
