Bridesmaids is hands-down the best movie I have seen since Knocked Up. Thank you, Judd Apatow, for producing these films, and more importantly, producing a “chick flick” I know my fiance would love!
I went to an advance screening of the film Bridesmaids, in theaters this Friday, May 13th, and as a bride-to-be, I thought this was the perfect time in my life to see this film. Everything hit close to home; well, almost everything.
When asked how the film was, my response was, “It was a little too long for my taste, but it was two hours of pure laughter!” I’d love to get into my favorite part of the film, but there may be some sensitive stomachs reading this, and I’d love to leave it a surprise for those who plan to see the film. I will however say this, “potty humor.” Any guesses?
The film follows Lillian (Maya Rudolf) and Annie’s (Kristen Wiig) friendship from right before Lillian’s engagement up until the wedding. We get the picture right away that these two are the best of friends who don’t have the opportunity to spend as much time together as they used to.
Once Lillian gets engaged, Annie is introduced to her BFF’s new world and all the new people it encompasses at her engagement party. As we are introduced to each bridesmaid, each one is instantly stereotyped: Becca (Ellie Kemper) is the perky, goody-two-shoes newlywed, Rita (Wendy McLendon-Covey) the bitter-married-with-kids wife, Megan (Melissa McCarthy) the groom’s sister who is rough around the edges, and Helen (Rose Byrne), Annie’s nemesis. The two instantly rage war against each other over their never-ending speeches to the bride.
From dress shopping to the nightmare of a bridal shower, watching these very different personalities of the bridal party co-exist made for one hell of a funny movie.
Brides, you will be thinking the entire time, “I hope this doesn’t happen to me, but is sure is fun to watch!” This film would be a great way to kick off your bachelorette party!
I actually wasn’t very excited about seeing this movie, but now that I’ve read your review, I think I will! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I was going to see this. Now I really want to–and I hope Shawn will come!
i want to see it! i’ve been waiting for months for this to come out!
I am looking forward to seeing this movie, looks funny!
The trailer made the film look hilarious! Now I’m even more psyched to catch it this weekend
I went to a sneak peek with my husband and we *both* loved it! One of the funniest, legitimately laugh-out-loud movies we’ve seen in a really long time. We’re both Apatow fans anyways, and this movie was hysterical ~ I’d absolutely recommend it!
The movie was the worst piece of crap i have every had the
misfortune to see.
To think this movie is even a little funny is an insult.
But what can you say coming from a Saturday night live writer.That show stopped being funny years ago.
If i were still six i might have found it funny sadly this
is not the case.
I not having the pleasure of seeing the hangover movies
i can not tell you how they compare.
Yet i have been told they have the same humor.
If so i am glad for the fact of not having seen it.
Which i wish i could for the Bridesmaids.
This movie is not in it’s self the sickness.
It is more the viewers who find this movie and movies
like it a form of entertainment.
Hallelujah!!! Someone, other than my sister and I, was totally disgusted by the
gutter vocabulary, sex scenes and toilet “humor”. I am not a prude and have seen
many an “R” rated movie where the sex has something to do with love. This was
such a waste of my time and certainly not worth the $7.50 I paid to see it. I am
most shocked by all the favorable reviews. Are people nuts???
