Abigail and Parker decide to run some interference of their own. They manipulate Caitlyn and become bridesmaids as well so that they and Rachel can sabotage the wedding from the inside. With help from a police detective who happens to be a groomsman, the girls strive to ruin Caitlyn's wedding while dodging her controlling mother and hopefully reuniting Tony and Rachel.

User Reviews

Raven to the rescue

Revenge of the Bridesmaids is an inoffensive, zippy film with some broad acting and even broader comedy.

Raven plays Abigail Scanlon and Joanna Garcia is Parker Wald who return to their hometown and learn that their old friend has lost her boyfriend to another friend, Caitlin who is also a conniving gold digger pretending to be pregnant in order to marry him.

They go undercover as Caitlin's bridesmaids in order to sabotage the wedding but it goes rather awry. Nevermind that the groom who has left one woman and gone out with her friend comes across as a douche bag.

Raven is energetic with her comedy but its also a bit silly and infantile. As its an ABC family comedy it does lack a satirical edge.
