Four girlfriends gather to celebrate the upcoming wedding of one of their own. As the bachelorette party picks up steam and the drinks flow, the girls discover more about each other’s love lives than they had ever imagined.
WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE? takes place in 1966. Millie is getting married in a couple of days, and is just recovering from her mother's bridal shower when she is surprised by two of her girlfriends, Sally and Florence, with food, booze and Dee Dee in tow (Flo's cousin from out of town: "We had to bring her along..."). As the drinking gets underway, loose lips begin sharing about each of their respective love lives, as well as Millie's upcoming nuptuals. Sally brings out a magic eight ball to liven up the party, but it leads to the revealing of well-kept secrets, and the fact that Millie's dreamy fiance is nowhere to be found. Millie swears she'll find him and bring him back her dreams of the perfect wedding won't be dashed because of something silly like a missing groom.
Act Two: Six months pass and the girls gather once again, this time to celebrate the engagement of Dee Dee to her longtime boyfriend. After the liquid refreshments begin flowing, we discover that Dee Dee's boyfriend is probably as bubble-headed as she; Flo is desperately in love with a co-worker who doesn't even know she exists; and Sally keeps loving and losing them faster than anyone can keep count. The true drama rears its head when Sally confronts Millie about her less-than-perfect marriage Millie breaks down, and finally asks for help and forgiveness from her friends. Throughout it all, Sally, Millie, Florence and Dee Dee come to understand that no matter how bad love becomes, true friendship is always there to fall back on.
WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE? re-affirms that during real-life struggles, friendship will unveil its everlasting strength. And it does it with a real rockin' beat!
