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 in this wickedly funny, irreverent, and touching celebration of the women's spirit. Five Women Wearing the Same Dress written by Alan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under, True Blood) is directed by Donna Belisle.
