Product Description

The delightful Kristen Wiig, who's shone in dozens of supporting roles and on Saturday Night Live, hits a bull's-eye with her first lead role in Bridesmaids. Annie (Wiig) isn't doing so well; her bakery failed and she keeps sleeping with a good-looking louse (Jon Hamm, Mad Men), but she's always had her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph, Away We Go) to buoy her up… until Lillian gets engaged. Annie becomes maid of honor, but another friend of Lillian's--the rich and lovely Helen (Rose Byrne, Get Him to the Greek)--wants to take over that position. Misadventures with bad Brazilian food, dress fittings, an unfortunate flight to Vegas, and a sympathetic traffic cop (Chris O'Dowd from British TV comedy The IT Crowd) follow, with increasingly hilarious results. Bridesmaids successfully balances raunchy comedy and character portrait. The embarrassing and socially catastrophic stuff, which in too many movies balloons into absurdity, is here kept in check just enough to allow Annie and the other characters to be multidimensional people--without the movie losing its comic capacity for cringe. (Actress Melissa McCarthy, of Mike & Molly, works miracles with a character than in most hands would be pure cartoon.) Wiig's enormous appeal keeps Annie sympathetic, even as she becomes more and more of a train wreck. Bridesmaids is both smart and dumb, raunchy and earnest, and altogether enjoyable. --Bret Fetzer

Disappointed,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bridesmaids (Unrated) (Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray)
After all the hype I thought this movie would be somewhat comical. The only thing that made me laugh was the unoriginal bowel cramp scene. Will not recommend to anyone.

Humorous and witty,
By Birch (London, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bridesmaids (DVD)
I've seen this movie twice in the theaters, and purchased it once it came out on DVD. While I am generally not a fan of comedies or chick flicks, this movie certainly topped any expectation I had of being lightly entertained.Kristen Wiig is exceptionally hilarious and entirely believable. The cast does a great job of improvising and each of the bridesmaids has a considerably developed character. The story has depth to the humor, and plays on such themes as friendships and relational insecurities. Each scene is ridiculous enough to have you crying with laughter, and believable enough to carry the storyline. The first scene isn't an indicator of the sexual content in the movie (it's considerably less than what is first portrayed). This is a movie that will have you recalling memorable scenes and lines to your girlfriends long after the movie is finished playing!

This review is from: Bridesmaids (DVD)
Absolutely hilarious. Really cheesy, but it was kind of expected to be. But, all in all a great stupid-funny movie. I would definitely recommend it for a laugh.
