Bridesmaids Movie Review
By: SandwichJohn
Gotta start with this first, the title is misleading. When most guys read the title they think chick flick. Fellas you are truly mistaken. This movie is indeed made for men and women to enjoy and laugh their ass off. So if you want to earn some points with the lady then offer to take her to see the movie, and I all most guarantee you'll like it more then her.
Bridesmaids was produced by Judd Apatow (40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) and should be the first reason you go see it. The second are break out stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy (Samantha Who?,Mike & Molly) and Chris O'Dowd this for sure was his break out role. You may not know his name now but after this film you surely will.
Kristen Wiig plays Annie, best friend for life with Maya Rudolph (Lillian). Lillian decides to get married and of course her best friend is asked to be her maid of honor. This is where the trouble begins. Annie is introduced to the rest of the bridesmaids. Wendi McLendon-Covey (Rita), Melissa McCarthy (Megan), Ellie Kemper (Becca) and Rose Byrne (Helen). And this is where all hell breaks loose.
Annie and Helen start off on the wrong foot. We get to see the rivalry at the engagement party when they try to out do each other on their toast speech. Keep an ear out for Lillian's father he has some great one liners through out the film.
There are some memorable scenes in the movie. Ones that everyone will be talking about after they get out of the movie. When the ladies go to try on bridesmaid dresses (I will say nothing more about this scene) and the airplane moment. McCarthy is the show stealer in both acts.
There is a super sweet State Trooper Nathan (Chris Dowd) that Annie keeps bumping into and has an immediate connection with. To quote someone in the theater "He is so cute, I would date him." Nathan and Annie have a moment and roles are reversed. The love story between the two is very sweet and some people in the audience will understand what the two of them are going through.
In the film each actress in the film is given an opportunity to create huge laughs from their own characterizations.
And like any films it ends with some huge laughs and ends with Huge surprise guest singers at the wedding that made everyone in the audience start singing.
