Revenge Of The Wedding Planner [2025]

Sometimes it's nice to see the maligned protagonist spend most of the movie not crying and being mistreated but getting some damn revenge. This one has quite a lot going on in just an hour so hang with me here.

Our main character Grace is a famous wedding planner and is about to attend the wedding of her mother and future stepfather, an event planning company CEO who is going to name his successor soon. Meanwhile, Grace's soon-to-be stepsister Sophia is screwing her fiance. On the discovery of this cheating, stepdad declares that he is naming Grace his successor, Grace and fiance break up (obviously), and Sophia decides to deal with all of this by poisoning the entire wedding and blaming Grace who made the cake. Grace goes to jail for a few months before meeting with Brody, her father's lawyer, who tells her they have cleared her name and she asks him to help her fake her death. A year later she goes to an engagement shoot for her evil stepsister and just straight up reveals her identity. What was the plan here?! I guess thankfully Sophia doesn't believe her because she is no longer wearing the ugly blonde wig she had in the beginning. In a low rent Monte Cristo move, Grace also poses as the hottest new wedding planner, with the help of a new wig, and Sophia begs her (literally) to plan her wedding to Grace's ex. Begging is a weird motif throughout because everyone is a domme I guess. From there every time Sophia goes to a wedding thing, Grace is there to torture her from spraying engagement party guests with pig blood to getting a chef to put worms in her food at a tasting to buying the dress set aside for her before she can have it. Meanwhile Grace and Brody get closer and Sophia decides to also try to seduce Brody to try to get her father's money by sexually assaulting him. It's super ineffective, but Grace does film it for blackmail later. Sophia also tries poisoning Brody and Grace but thankfully they only have a few sips. The film culminates with Sophia's wedding, which her wedding planner (Grace in a blue wig) has styled like a funeral. She even sent the blackmail video and a pig's head to Sophia's groom so he would reject her and wrote "murderer" down the back of her dress. Sophia finally realizes that Grace is Grace and also that the wedding planner is Grace because she puts the terrible blonde wig back on. Sophia is arrested and Brody proposes to Grace implying that she will have to plan their wedding.

While I have definitely made the plot easier to follow with my explanation, you need to understand just how many scenes there are of Grace straight up saying who she is a Sophia not believing it. In fact, many pieces of information are revealed over and over with characters always acting like this is new information. There's also a "hilarious" boner scene with the fiance, slow-mo glasses removal or putting on, and just camp craziness. This is the best we've seen in a minute.
