Wedding Bell Blues is a romantic comedy with a distinctly female
perspective. Directed and written by women, Dana Lustigand Annette
Goliti-Gutierrez respectively, the film concerns three nearly 30-year-old
roommates who decide that it's less pathetic to be thirty and divorced than
thirty and never married.
Micki (Julie Warner) is devastated when her fiance calls it quits, insisting he needs "passion" and that they share none. Tanya (Paulina Porizkova) is beautiful but directionless, brought up to believe that a pretty woman should do nothing but marry for money. She's also just discovered she's pregnant, and her boyfriend's made clear that fatherhood's not in his plans. Jasmine (Illeana Douglas) is a cynical artist whose dating motto has always been "love 'em and leave 'em." These three very different women head off to Las Vegas together, with a plan to find husbands, get married, and get divorced, all in twenty-four hours. Wedding Bell Blues is a sweet, funny commentary on the multiple dilemmas of modern womanhood. 1996, 35mm, Color, 100 minutes
