Plot: Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is getting married and best-friend Anne (Kristen Wiig) is the maid-of-honor. Annie is jealous of rich, pretty, new friend Helen (Rose Byrne.) Their rivalry starts with toasts, continues enroute to the bachelorette party, and at the shower. Anne gets crazier and crazier, but she makes some new friends, fellow bridesmaid Megan and a cute cop.
Review: Bridesmaids is a very funny movie. The funniest movie so far this year. It is like Mean Girls -- most of the humor is about catty relationships. Kristen Wiig does a great job exaggerating her emotions in these scenes that happen all the time, but not bigger than life as they do in this movie. Unlike Mean Girls, it is not all sitcom humor, Mean Girls has regular jokes and visual gags too.
The writing is clever, especially since this movie is bridging different genres. Maya Rudolph does a great job - very engaging and likable; and I usually did not like her on SNL, but she was great here.
The best two scenes were when Annie, at her jewelry store job, talks customers out of buying engagement rings and friendship necklaces because of her own issues. The second scene with the high school girl is a reason to buy the Blu-Ray.
There is a scene at the engagement party which is cringe-worthy as Annie and Helen embarrass each other giving tributes. Funny and memorable; although embarrassingly hard-to-watch.
A special note is needed for Melissa McCarthy who plays the heavy butch bridesmaid. She steals every scene she is in, and she has great intensity.
Cast: Kristin Wiig, Maya Rudolph
Directed by: Paul Feig; Written by Kristin Wiig and Anne Mumolo
Rating: 3.5 stars. The rating revolves around two things, first it was fun to watch throughout, and second it had a serious side concerning how friends get along with each other. This movie is not going to get any Oscar nominations, although Kristen Wiig may deserve one.
More: The best thing I want to say about Bridesmaids is that I want to buy the Blu-Ray when it comes out.
Even more: Great shots of Milwaukee
Yet more: Bridesmaids is my highest rated comedy in two years.
