This one is for the girls.

Thought I would give this one a shot. Can't say I would watch it again. Director Paul Feig seems to go all out to maybe present a female version of THE HANGOVER. Annie Walker(Kristen Wiig)is not satisfied with her life; easy to see it is a big mess. When her lifetime best friend Lillian(Maya Rudolph)accepts a marriage proposal, Annie's focus on the world narrows and begins to unravel when she becomes the maid of honor. Annie is cash strapped and down-on-her-luck in the love department; but she puts on a brave face and bluffs her way through the expense and rituals of a grand wedding. Annie gets herself into a competition with another bridesmaid, Helen(Rose Byrne), who would be just happy to ruin all of Annie's efforts. Miss Walker tries to show the other bridesmaids that money isn't everything and prove to Lillian the limits to what a person will do in the name of love. A very crowded cast includes: Rebel Wilson, Ellie Kemper, Jill Clayburgh, Terry Crews, Steve Bannos, Kali Hawk and Melissa McCarthy, who I found to be the highlight of the whole movie. Wiig not only stars, but also co-writes. Running time is 2hrs 4mn and at times I thought would never end.
