I rarely see movies twice. It's not a personal choice, more of a time constriction from how many I already see. But when I walked out of Bridesmaids, I was immediately ready to see it again; knowing that this film was more than your typical star-breaking-away-from-Saturday-Night-Live laugher.
Don't let the lazy title or poster of the six female stars fool you. Bridesmaids isn't a chick flick, a romcom, or some “you go girl!†female empowerment schlock. Bridesmaids is simply a comedy. It just so happens that there are more ladies filling the screen than Hollywood is normally comfortable with. That extra dose of estrogen helps raise the sweetness to the surprisingly raunchy Judd Apatow-sealed comedy, which is coarse even by the Knocked Up director's standards.
Invading the TV airwaves and theater screens for the past few years after becoming the most popular SNL cast member in recent memory, this is Kristen Wiig's first headlining role.
Not remembering a film with so many laughs from start to finish besides 2009's The Hangover (the sequel will be released in two weeks), if I had to compare Bridesmaids to one film, it would be that.
With a wide-ranging cast of bumbling misfits that only a wedding could bring together, both films are crass and revolve around major set pieces. The only difference here is that there is a clear ringleader, and that is Wiig, who stars as the down-on-her-luck Annie. Struggling to maintain her personal and professional life afloat after happenstance, she tries to keep her best friend, Lillian (SNL-alum Maya Rudolph), the one constant in her life, from drifting away. Asked to be her Maid of Honor, Annie does her best to plan the wedding while Lillian's new rich bitch friend Helen (Rose Byrne in a radically different role) is trying to dishonor Annie from the position.
