Publisher's Synopsis
Collection of romantic comedies. 'What Happens in Vegas' (2008) stars Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher as Joy and Jack, two strangers who spend a drunken night together in Las Vegas only to wake up the next morning to discover that they're married. To make matters worse, Jack wins the $3 million jackpot on a slot machine after playing Joy's money. Unwilling to come to an agreement over the fortune, they go to court where the judge freezes the cash and orders them to work on their marriage for six months. The newlyweds begin devising schemes to undermine each other and get their hands on the money, only to find themselves falling in love despite the mutual backstabbing. 'Bride Wars' (2009) stars Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson as two best friends who become arch rivals overnight when they realise they have scheduled their fairy tale weddings for the same date. Their competitiveness knows no bounds as both women resort to ever more devious tactics to secure the very best of everything - including the guest list - for themselves. '27 Dresses' (2008) stars Katherine Heigl as Jane Nichols, a woman who prides herself on always being the perfect bridesmaid. Jane has led a selfless life, always putting others first, especially when it comes to weddings. With 27 bridesmaid dresses in her cupboard, Jane is beginning to see a pattern developing. While juggling two weddings in one evening, Jane is spotted by a cynical local reporter (James Marsden) who sees her story as the ideal vehicle to move up the career ladder. But when her younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) makes a move on her boss, George (Edward Burns), who Jane has secretly loved for years, Jane finally realises it's time to grab life by the horns before it's too late. 'Down With Love' (2003) is a homage to the romantic comedies of the 1960s. Small town librarian Barbara Novak (Renée Zellweger) arrives in New York City with big plans to make something of herself and decides to write a novel that embraces feminist views, encouraging independence and a healthy sex life above a happy relationship and marriage. The novel, 'Down With Love', becomes an overnight success, and arouses the interest of long-term bachelor and lady-killer Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor). Block decides to put Novak to the test by going against character, playing a shy and retiring male, to make her fall in love with him and thus expose her as no longer being down with love. 'Life Or Something Like It' (2002) stars Angelina Jolie as Lanie Kerrigan, a beautiful, ambitious newscaster who thinks that having the perfect hair, boyfriend and apartment adds up to the perfect life - until a meaningful encounter with a street psychic, Prophet Jack (Tony Shaloub), throws her world into chaos. With the help of her handsome, wise-cracking co-worker Pete (Burns), Lanie decides to start living each day as if it were her last... with unsettling consequences. 'All About Steve' (2009) stars Sandra Bullock as Mary Horowitz, a brilliant but reclusive, and somewhat eccentric, crossword puzzle writer for a local newspaper. In an attempt to propel their socially inept daughter into the outside world and the realm of men, marriage and children, Mary's parents (Howard Hesseman and Beth Grant) set her up with their friend's son, TV cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper). Unfortunately Mary takes to Steve a little too enthusiastically, following him across the length and breadth of the country in hot pursuit. Will Mary's passion ever be reciprocated, or is she just making a fool of herself?
