Bridesmaids Review
3.5/4
Comedy is Hilarious and Surprisingly Deep
From one of our favorite comedy directors Judd Apatow, comes one the most raunchiest, but hilarious films about friendship, jealousy, and making your life better. It has some elements most movies wouldn't seem to care about adding. These are talking about what it can really do to you when your best friends moves on and your stuck in a rut, how it secretly bothers you when your friend has other good friends you don't know, and how if you pick yourself up and not care what others think of you, you can be successful.
This story is about Annie (Kristen Wiig) and her newly engaged best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph). After Annie has found out that news, she's instantly excited for her friend, but later realizes that she may not be with her that much after she is married. Her life is mess on top of that. She is living with two British roommates in an apartment, her salary is rather poor, her boyfriend is really just a loser who was off and on with her for years, and she lost her bakery during the recession. Although she is depressed she puts on a happy face for her best friend's wedding. Now, on top of everything, she has become the maid-of-honor. Throughout the movie she meets Lillian's other bridesmaids (Ellie Kemper, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Melissa McCarthy), each with very distinct personalities, including Helen (Rose Byrne), who's wants to be Lillian’s only friend. She then starts a relationship with a cop (Chris O'Dowd), attempts to do the odd task of being the maid-of-honor, and at the end, she just might figure out how to live her life the best it can be.
I enjoyed this movie tremendously. It made me laugh nearly the whole time. It also had this certain attitude I respected the whole time. I think one reason this movie was such a big hit is because it was honest with us about life, and the fact your stomach hurt from laughing so hard. Final verdict is 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.
