Best Comedy of 2011

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2011)

This is probably the most honest and thorough examination of women I've seen on the big screen ever. Kristen Wiig breaks out from SNL into a movie star as forlorn Annie Walker, with beautiful awkwardness. Annie is the sad sack who screws up everything in her best friend Lillian's (Maya Rudolph, also from SNL) pre-wedding soirees, but you still root for her to find success and happiness. You also root for her to redeem herself against Helen Harris (Rose Byrne), the gorgeous trophy wife who appears to be an unwilling participant in a BFF competition. All and all, it's one of those you'll laugh, you'll cry movies, and I highly recommend it.
