Funniest Comedy In Years

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2015)

The finest lead female cast since The Descent back in 2005, Bridesmaids boasts the talents of Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper, then throws them all together for the ultimate wedding comedy that has fiery confrontations, shocking behaviour, drunken antics and a lot of one-oneupmanship. Every time I watch this I'm in tears laughing, howling uncontrollably because of the jokes and perfect delivery. Kristen Wiig's awkwardness and eventual competitiveness as Annie is great stirring on the fire and tension for Rose Byrne's Helen, Byrne is at her best and as you've never seen her before. Melissa McCarthy simply steals the scene as Megan, I cried with laughter as she went through the story of how she fell off a cruise ship, and immediately after that comes the defining moment of laughter that is the endless wedding speech from Annie and Helen. Wendi McLendon-Covey is hilarious as a foul mouth sick of her kids mother whose incessant bitching about them gets more hysterical as the drinks come in, Ellie Kemper's best moment as Becca has to be her explanation of her sex life whilst on a plane to Vegas, and Maya's Rudolph's poo in the street in a wedding dress scene is outrageously brilliant. These ladies know comedy as does director Paul Feig, just be sure you're not eating whilst watching Bridesmaids as the contents of your food will be all over you due to fits of laughter.
