Film Review: Bridesmaids

BRIDESMAIDS (Paul Feig, 2011)

The cast of Bridesmaids
When her childhood best friend (Lillian) announces she’s getting married, and wants her to be the maid of honor, Annie’s world gets threatened by possibly losing her best friend forever. Annie is broke. She has just lost her bakeshop and boyfriend. Her friendship with Lillian is the only thing that makes her happy. This gets threatened when Lillian’s new friend gets into the scene, trying to control all the preparations for the matrimony.

The film is funny, almost hilarious, but not in a way pretentious. It’s populated with interesting characters, specially the other bridesmaids. The writing is fine and smart. Kristen Wiig, the lead actress, co-wrote the film.

Think of My Best Friend’s Wedding with more heart.

Rating: 3.5/4.0
