If you didn't have time to go see the new Kristen Wiig/Maya Rudolf comedy Bridesmaids this weekend, get up off the couch, grab your keys, and GO. The female-ensemble lead cast deliver huge laughs, and is one of the funniest comedies to come out this year. And it seems that audiences approve, since the film grossed $24 million at the box office this weekend.
It's great to see a comedy starring tons of funny women, dealing with not just funny situations but also the ins and outs of relationships between women.
This is Kristen Wiig's breakout role, and boy does she deliver. The SNL funny woman doesn't carry the film (there are tons of hilarious characters, including Melissa McCarthy who steals a lot of the scenes as the, um, quirky Megan), but her hilarious yet vulnerable performance is sure to help catapult her to the Amy Poehler-Tina Fey stratosphere.
Who else saw the film? Thoughts!?

The fiance's sister is the funniest thing about this movie. I was expecting more from this film written by and staring Kristen Wiig, who is always so hilarious on SNL.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! All of those women are brilliant geniuses! Not only were the relationships between women explored, but a much more positive/kindof more realistic relationship was shown between her and her irish cop than in most romantic comedies!
