Usually, I don’t watch chick flick. But something tells me I should watch this one. Okay, that something is Judd Apatow, the producer. I like his films because he offers more than just average comedy. His films are realistic, energetic and full with comical improvised dialogue. So here comes Annie (Kristen Wiig), the woman who just hit rock bottom, her Milwaukee bakery shop has just gone bust, have to share rooms with a surpassingly peculiar British brother and sister, treated badly by Ted (Jon Hamm) who only thinks of her as a fuck buddy and to make her life worse, her BFF, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), is getting married and the trophy wife of the groom's boss, Helen (Rose Byrne) try to steal Annie's thunder. The other bridesmaids, Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Becca (Ellie Kemper) and Megan (Melissa McCarthy) are caught in the middle.
What I like most about Bridesmaids is the casts. Although large, each of them is unique and has an important role in the development of the story. There is real depth to the characterizations and friendships. But still, the stand out from the crowd is Kristen Wiig. She’s a goddess of comedy. As co-writer and lead actress, she plays a huge part in the film's success. I hope she does more work like this. The director Paul Feig also managed to keep the pace alive so you won’t feel bored. I think Bridesmaids is the female version of The Hangover and Wedding Crashers. It’s hilarious, rude and gross sometimes. But it’s also a moving drama and painfully real. It can happen to anyone anywhere at a certain point of time. For me, Bridesmaids is a strong candidate for best comedy of 2011. So what are you waiting for? Just GO SEE THE MOVIE (even if you’re dudes).
