Bridesmaids (2011) - What a Raunchy Wedding Group!

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2011)

Judd Apatow and Kristen Wiig bring their hilarious minds to the test, and they have accomplished to make the first ever 'rated-R' chick flick comedy. "Bridesmaids" is an example of "The Hangover" with female actors, and it's what I would call it: "Wedding Crashers" meets "Superbad". Saturday Night Live's Kristen Wiig, plays her first feature film role, as Annie, a thirty-something who recently failed to make her bakery, is living in an apartment with lazy siblings, and has a sexual relationship with Jon Hamm. But anyways, her best friend Lillian, portrayed by Maya Rudolph, is getting engaged and asks Annie to be her maid of honor. Then, it afterward leads into hilarious situations, where Annie and bridesmaid Helen, portrayed by Rose Byrne, are jealous of each other's friendship with Lillian. So, the whole movie just talks about the misadventures of bridesmaids, until the big wedding day. "Bridesmaids" happens to be one of the best Judd Apatow comedies ever, and it sure has its moments. From an unexpected food poisoning, to Kristen Wiig drunk on an airplane, and some good old-fashioned raunchy humor. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo provided a well-written script filled with raunchiness, which is a good idea for a chick flick. The cast is so perfect, that I have to explain each one personally. Wiig and Rudolph have their most hilarious and touching moments in the film, Rose Byrne is a beautiful actress that portrayed the role perfectly, Jon Hamm was a little annoying, Chris O' Dowd makes clever optimism in his portrayal, but it's Melissa McCarthy that stole the entire show with such raunchy humor, and a performance filled with deserving laughs. Now, in mixed thoughts, the movie is such a long 2-hour comedy, the entire second act took to long to develop, and some characters were too annoying. But even though "Bridesmaids" is so long, and has hilarious material that makes people gag, it's worth watching this excellent comedy for the unique script, and clever cast. Seriously, watching this movie over and over, can still make you laugh every single time. "Bridesmaids", in my review, "a hilarious, and deserving chick flick".
