Bridesmaids

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2014)

The 2011 film, Bridesmaids is a personal favorite of mine. This comedy romance film tells the story of two women competing for the title of the bride's "best friend." Annie Walker, played by Kristen Wiig is the maid of honor. She begins to feel threatened by the bride's new friend, who is also in the wedding party as a bridesmaid. Along the way, these two battle it out in order to prove their loyalty and friendship toward the bride (Lillian). I can honestly say from start to finish of this movie, I never once stopped laughing. The film centers on the comedic absurdity of women, however men and women can both get a kick out of this movie. I think I enjoyed this film so much because this was one of the first films I've seen where most of the characters are funny women. We see films like "The Hangover" and "Step Brothers" where the focus is on comical males. In my opinion, Bridesmaids switched up the style of the usually expected comedy. Although I find this film to be awesome, the box office seems to disagree. The movie itself still made a killing but compared to other high ranking films, Bridesmaids didn't come close. There are some inappropriate scenes for children, which takes away a large audience. On the other hand, there's nothing too crazy in this film where you would feel the need to turn it off. I believe this film deserved a lot more money in the box office and more recognition.
