Weddings are a stressful time; it helps to be surrounded by people who make matters go smoothly. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.
In the movie “Bridesmaids,” Annie (Kristen Wiig) is chosen to be her best friend Lillian’s (Maya Rudolph) maid of honor. Despite her own relationship troubles, Annie embarks on a mission to make Lillian’s big day a memorable one. However, there are numerous glitches along the way, including a rag-tag group of bridesmaids and food poisoning.
Maybe it is just the season, but there are a lot of bridal-themed movies to please any nuptial-minded gal, or just those looking for a good laugh. “Bridesmaids” is chock-full of hilarious moments to break up the predictability attached to every rom-com.
Wiig, who co-wrote the film, polished her comedic style with her roles on “Saturday Night Live,” along with Rudolph, a fellow SNL star, which translated into some of the improvisation that occurred in the film.
“Bridesmaids” is directed by Paul Feig, also known for his film “Knocked Up.” The hilarious moments helped to break up the lengthy runtime. “Bridesmaids” proves that it can play well along side the male-dominated comedies, such as “The Hangover” and “Wedding Crashers,” delivering similar raunchy scenes.
Of course, the ending follows that of a typical chick-flick, but overall “Bridesmaids” is worth watching.
