Annie's life takes a turn for the worse when she is fired from her job after a profanity-laden argument with a teenage customer. Things get even worse when she is evicted by her roommates, Gil and Brynn, forcing her to move in with her mother.

Before the Eviction

Annie's life is in a downward spiral. She has lost her passion for baking and is stuck in a dead-end job that she hates. On top of that, she is in an unfulfilling sexual relationship with a wealthy and self-absorbed man named Ted, who does not respect her, even though she yearns for a serious relationship with him.

The only positive presence in Annie's life is her lifelong best friend, Lillian, who gets engaged to her boyfriend, Doug. Lillian asks Annie to be her maid of honour, but things start to go downhill from there.

At the engagement party, Annie meets Lillian's other bridesmaids, including Helen, the wealthy and snobby trophy wife of Doug's boss. Annie and Helen become increasingly competitive for Lillian's attention, and their rivalry sets the tone for the rest of the film.

Annie's suggestion for a bachelorette party at Lillian's parents' lake house is overruled by Helen, who plans a trip to Las Vegas. Annie's fear of flying and her pride get the better of her, and she ends up having a paranoid breakdown on the plane, causing an emergency landing. The party has to take a bus home, and Lillian decides that Helen should take over planning the bridal shower and wedding.

The Eviction

It is not explicitly stated in the film why Gil and Brynn evict Annie. However, it is likely due to her mounting personal problems and financial difficulties. After losing her job, Annie may have been unable to pay her share of the rent or contribute to other household expenses.

After the Eviction

Annie is forced to move in with her mother, and her depression deepens. She attends the extravagant bridal shower that Helen hosts in Chicago, where her heartfelt gift is upstaged by Helen, who surprises Lillian with a trip to Paris. Annie flies into a rage, berating Helen and Lillian and destroying the decor. She then storms out of the shower and is disinvited from the wedding.

Annie's life continues to unravel as she gets into a car accident due to her broken taillights and has an unpleasant encounter with Ted, finally leaving him for good. However, she eventually turns her life around, resumes baking, and reconciles with Lillian and Helen.
