Abigail Scanlon (Raven-Symoné),Parker Wald (JoAnna Garcia Swisher),and Rachel Phipps (Chryssie Whitehead) are lifelong friends. As kids, they were befriended by rich Caitlyn McNabb (Virginia Williams) and her gold-digging mother Olivia (Beth Broderick). Abigail goes on to write a successful book. Parker is a struggling NY actress. Rachel stayed home with longterm boyfriend Tony Penning. Abigail and Parker go home shocked to find Caitlyn's expected groom to be Tony and a humiliated Rachel as her bridesmaid. Olivia is on her fourth marriage. Local cop Henry Kent is taken with Parker. Abigail and Parker vow to sabotage the wedding from the inside.
Despite coming before Bridesmaids, this can't help being overshadowed by its more famous cousin. Raven and JoAnna are functional TV comedic actresses. They should be getting into all kinds of irreverent hijinx but they are often hampered by sad sack Rachel's story. It needs to be more fun than this.

GOOD MOVIE CHEMISTRY
The movie is predictable. The humor is snarky. There are some plot weaknesses. The characters are unrealistic. But it spite of whatever criticism I could come up with, the fact is that it worked well to give us a very enjoyable film. Raven-Symoné and Joanna Garcia-Swisher absolutely shine in this LOL comedy about 3 girls determined to ruin the wedding of their childhood girlfriend Caitlyn McNabb played by Virginia Williams. Caitlyn is getting married to Tony, the former boyfriend of Rachel (Chryssie Whitehead). She claims she is pregnant by him and in this small Louisiana town, that is what they are expected to do. Rachel is still in love with him, and the girls suspect something isn't right.
Some minor sexual references
Not The Greatest, But Kinda Fun
I happened to catch this movie a while back and gave it a shot because I like Raven-Symone and Beth Broderick. Of course, with this movie you need to keep in mind that it's an ABC Family original movie, so it'd be silly to have high expectations.
Yes, I noticed a big issue 20 minutes before the characters did, and knew exactly how things would turn out for the bridesmaids halfway through the movie, but I still enjoyed it. No, the movie will probably not wow you. I honestly can't remember laughing a single time throughout (but I think the "Saw" movies are funny, so that probably says something.) The acting was fine, and the plot was just okay, but I did like the Raven and Joanna Garcia dynamic.
In my opinion, it was just a pretty standard ABC Family TV movie. If you enjoy this type, you'll probably like it. If not, you won't.
