When Lillian announces that she's engaged to be married, she asks her best friend since childhood to be her Maid of Honour. But when a new friend, Helen begins to become possessive, the green-eyed monster causes chaos in the run-up to the nuptials. Can the wedding AND their friendship be saved?

Annie was counting on her Mum joining her at Lillian's party. But her Mum is busy. Giving a talk at the local AA meeting.
Annie
All right. Well, I guess I'm going to Lillian's party by myself, then.
Annie's Mum
Oh don't talk to me about being by yourself. I go everywhere by myself. Well, you know... thanks to that new whore, Barb. No, no, I can say it...
Annie
They've been married twelve years.
Annie's Mum
Okay but she's still a whore. You know, I'm sure she greets him in the evening beaver first!
Clip 2
It's great catching up with long-lost friends. Until they start telling you about their teenage sons and their apparently ridiculous masturbatory habits. Then it's NOT so great.
Annie
Rita!
Rita
Annie!
Annie
Hi!
Rita
Oh, I haven't seen you since you graduated High School.
Annie
Oh my gosh!
Lillian
She has three kids now.
Rita
Three boys.
Lillian
They're so cute.
Rita
They are cute. But when they reach that age... Disgusting. They smell, they're sticky, they say things that are horrible and there is semen all over everything. Okay? Disgusting. I cracked a blanket in half. Do you get where I'm going with that?
Annie
I do, yeah.
Rita
I cracked it in half!
Clip 3
Apparently being single at a party is no fun. Because everyone assumes that you're with the person standing nearest to you.
Megan
You must be Annie's fella. Pl... uh, Megan. It's a pleasure.
Annie
No, he's not, uh... I'm not... he's not... I'm not with him. Sorry.
Megan
Oh. Oh right. I'm glad he's single 'cos I'm gonna climb that like a tree.
Clip 4
Annie isn't the only person to hate Helen. Her own step-children despise her too. Thinking about it, what is there to like really? You can't blame them.
Helen
Oh, Annie... these are my kids.
Annie
Oh!
Step-daughter
Step-kids.
Helen
Step!
[Laughs]
They're so hilarious!
Annie
Funny.
Helen
Excuse me. My husband's kids. What are you guys up to?
Step-daughter
We're going to the snack bar.
Helen
Awesome. You need a ride home later?
Step-son
Fu*k off, Helen!
Helen
Okay... put a quarter in the swear jar. Good to see ya!
Clip 5
Annie is playing doubles tennis against Helen. Not only is it getting competitive but Annie is going all out to hurt her new nemesis, watched by Helen's step-children.
[The sound of vigorous volleys as the ball is smashed back and forth across the net followed by spirited celebrations as ANNIE and her partner triumph]
Step-son
I've seen better tennis playing in a tampon commercial!
Clip 6
Annie's right, of course. Paying half the rent when you're only a third of the tenants isn't fair. At all. But then Brynn has no means of earning money. Well, almost no means.
Annie
Um, I've been thinking and... Brynn needs to start paying rent. That's it. She's been here long enough. The three of us live here. It's not fair for me to be paying half. We split it three ways. What do you say?
Gil
Well, she can't work. She's on a tourist visa.
Brynn
Yeah, so technically I'm only allowed to tour.
Annie
Well, you know...
Brynn
Have no way of earning money. Unless I just go and prostitute down on the street.
Annie
I don't want you to do that.
Brynn
"Hello, fellas. Here I am. Put your American sausage in my English McMuffin."
Gil
No, but we did that...
Clip 7
Helen has managed to get the girls in to Belle en blanc for a dress fitting. Which is great. But the gastrointestinal disturbances they're all about to suffer from isn't.
Megan
Oh, man. This is some classy sh*t here...
[She suddenly and unexpectedly belches]
Rita
Jesus, Megan!
Megan
I'm s... I want to apologise. I'm not even confident of which end that came out of!
Clip 8
The belch was bad, right? Yeah. That was just the tip of the iceberg. A whole lot of sh*t (quite literally) is about to go down at Belle en blanc.
Annie
Lillian. I don't... I don't know what to say. You look...
Megan
[Suddenly doubles over, belches and is very nearly sick]
Annie
Megan... are you okay?
Megan
[Another belch, this time accompanied by a trumpet from the rear]
I think my dre... my dre... my dress was probably just tight.
Helen
Oh my God. You got food poisoning from that restaurant, didn't you?
Annie
No. I had the same thing that she had and I... I feel fine.
[BECCA also has to suppress an urge to vomit]
Shop Owner
Oh my! Okay.
Lillian
Oh no.
Becca
Why is this happening?
Annie
Nothing's happening.
Rita
[Farts loudly]
Shop Owner
Oh my God!
Megan
[Farts loudly]
Rita
You know, I don't really care which dress we get. It doesn't matter to me. I just need to get off this white carpet.
Shop Owner
Okay, no. Not the bathroom. Everybody go outside. I'm SERIOUS! There's a bathroom across the street!
Clip 9
If I were to write a book entitled "Best Ways to Get Fired", this would be top of the list. Number one. Unsurpassed. Call a customer a c*nt. Classy!
Young Girl
Excuse me.
Annie
Oh. Hi.
Young Girl
I'm looking for a birthday gift for my best friend.
Annie
Oh.
Young Girl
I want to get her a necklace that says "Best Friends Forever".
Annie
You sure you want it to say forever?
Young Girl
Yeah. Why?
Annie
C'mon. Forever?
Young Girl
Forever.
Annie
I don't think you guys will be best friends forever. No offence but... you know. The friends you have when you're younger sometimes... sometimes you grow apart. You know, when you get older maybe she'll find a new best friend. And maybe she'll be more successful than you are. And prettier. And richer. And skinnier. And they end up doing everything together.
Young Girl
You're... you're weird.
Annie
Not weird. Okay?
Young Girl
Yes you are.
Annie
No I'm not and you started it.
Young Girl
No, you started it. Did you forget to take your Xanax this morning?
Annie
God, I feel bad for your parents.
Young Girl
I feel bad for your face
[The arguing continues a while longer]
Young Girl
Well, you're an old, single loser who's never gonna have any friends.
Annie
You're a little c*nt!
Clip 10
It's Lillian's wedding shower. Helen is about to send Annie in to a complete meltdown. And understandably so. A trip to Paris? It's just too much.
Helen
It's just a little pre-wedding vacation and while we're there, we're gonna meet the designer of your dress and have a fitting.
Lillian
You're taking me to Paris? Thank you so much.
Helen
A Paris!
Annie
Are you fu*king kidding me?
Annie's Mum
Annie?
Annie
No, Mom. Mother fu*king Paris?
Lillian
Annie, what are you doing?
Annie
I told you about Paris, Helen. I told you about this whole idea.
Lillian
Annie, calm down.
Annie
No, Lillian. What are you gonna go... you're gonna go to Paris with Helen now? What are you gonna... you guys gonna ride around on bikes with berets and fu*king baguettes in the basket on the front of your bikes? Oh, how romantic! What woman gives another woman a trip to Paris? Am I right? LESBIAN! We're all thinking it, aren't we?
