Millie's getting married! And when three of her girlfriends (boy-crazy Sally, very shy Florence, and young tag along Dee Dee) throw her a bachelorette party, the girls end up sharing more than a great time - after tequila shots and Snowball sugar highs, they dive into the age old questions about love, marriage, and the overwhelming dating game. Featuring classic 1960s songs like "My Boy Lollipop," "I Will Follow Him," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and more, this uplifting comedy reaffirms that true friendship will unveil its everlasting strength-and it does so with a rockin' beat!
