Elizabeth Ingram Wedding Guest Michael C. Apatow as Michael Lund Vicki Marsik Maull Joseph A. I could feel my IQ dropping at least 20 points while I watched this movie! TxMike 20 October Oh, I laughed very often and very loudly. My favorite was Melissa McCarthy, one of the friends who could best be described as "large and in charge" in most scenes she is in. It was a brave choice, very un-glamorous with little or no makeup, she was a hoot in all her scenes.

But the main character is Annie Kristen Wiig as the maid of honor for her best friend's upcoming wedding. Annie is in a bad run of bad luck, with her love life, her job, and her apartment mates. Most of it she causes herself, by being a real putz of a person. When she does get into the wedding planning, she is surprised to find another "best friend" of the bride who happens to be wealthy.

The two of them end up competing for the status of "best friend of the bride. She is funny and a good actress. This just isn't the best script. As I mentioned in my lead off comment, I laughed many times, and generally was entertained. But it really is a dumb movie. A free DVD loaner from my public library. I picked up this movie solely because of Melissa McCarthy. I had initially expected a bit more fun and laughs than what the movie actually delivered.

For a comedy this movie was disturbingly devoid of laughs and hilarious situations. I actually only laughed once, and that was during the food poisoning scene. The story is about a competitive duel between two bridal maids at their best friends wedding. The cast in "Bridesmaids" was quite good, and despite the lack of comedy in the movie there was some good comedian names on the cast list.

The lack of comedy was what ultimately brought this movie down into mediocrity for me. And as such, I am rating "Bridesmaids" a mere five out of ten stars. Just watched this hilarious and touching comedy with my movie theatre-working friend which stars current SNLer Kristen Wiig today. She also co-wrote and co-produced it. She plays Annie, a failed bakery chef who currently works at a jewelry shop whose best friend-played by her former SNL castmate Maya Rudolph-is getting married.

This friend is now chums with someone in her new circle who has a little friction with Annie. I'll just stop there and just say that any comparisons with The Hangover are fine as there are some gross-out humor that can be both funny and maybe a little too much for some tastes.

Still, the characterizations and relationships between are real enough that one does care for them. Steve Carell and Melanie Hutsell also appear in a screamingly funny tennis match though I only recognized the latter in the movie. So on that note, I highly recommend Bridesmaids. There's an appearance by the Maya character's favorite group that was a nice surprise especially with the song they sang.

And this was the late Jill Clayburgh's last film role as Annie's mother. Incidentally, she hosted SNL twice during the '70s. Absurd comedy. It is quite vulgar and Melissa McCarthy, who snagged a best supporting actress nomination for parading around with her heaviness was ridiculous at best. The one clear light in this awful production was the performance of Kristin Wiig as the very frustrated Annie.

Defecating in the street while wearing a bridal gown is not funny to me at all. The plane scene was somewhat humorous. Annie had too many emotional hang-ups in the film.

Would you want any of these dames to serve as your bridesmaids? No way. Shame that the late Jill Clayburgh had to end her career in such a hideous film. Probably overrated Gordon 30 September This film is about a woman who is asked to be the maid of honor at her friend's wedding.

Her life spirals downwards from then on. With that expectation in my head, I found "Bridesmaids" a little disappointing. Some say that comedies do not need character development, but in this film you really need some character development, as it is about the interaction of a group of newly met friends. Unfortunately, there is little character development, so I don't really know who the bridesmaids really are.

Helen is the only bridesmaid that stands out, all the others are just to fill up the screen space or to make Kristen Wiig pretty. The story is quite slow for a comedy, and a joke is repeated over and over for minutes. It appears to me that "Bridesmaids" is just a vessel for a high profile one man band comedy for Kristen Wiig.

I think "Bridesmaids" is overrated, but still enjoyable. Thought I would give this one a shot. Can't say I would watch it again. Annie Walker Kristen Wiig is not satisfied with her life; easy to see it is a big mess. When her lifetime best friend Lillian Maya Rudolph accepts a marriage proposal, Annie's focus on the world narrows and begins to unravel when she becomes the maid of honor.

Annie is cash strapped and down-on-her-luck in the love department; but she puts on a brave face and bluffs her way through the expense and rituals of a grand wedding. Annie gets herself into a competition with another bridesmaid, Helen Rose Byrne , who would be just happy to ruin all of Annie's efforts. Miss Walker tries to show the other bridesmaids that money isn't everything and prove to Lillian the limits to what a person will do in the name of love.

Wiig not only stars, but also co-writes. Running time is 2hrs 4mn and at times I thought would never end. Whilst the crass scenes were mildly amusing if those were all there was to the film it would fade from the memory as you walk up the aisle at the end. What I found much more appealing was the undercurrent of genuine melancholy and the fine writing and outstanding performance of Kristen Wiig. Not unnaturally perhaps she has written a great part for herself but she's in good company, in Noel Coward wrote a play-stealing role in The Vortex, played it himself and was never heard of again.

Kristen Wiig is one of those actresses you radiate warmth whilst contriving to be brittle, again, she's in good company, think Celeste Holm, Eve Arden.

Looks like I'm in love again. Ok, but not great. Very funny in parts, but often just plain stupid, with the intention of grossing people out. Neither nomination was deserved. Further evidence that the Oscar year was a fairly weak year for movies. As a comedy, to me, this movie just wasn't really good or funny enough. It actually was a pretty awkward movie to watch at times and I just can't understand why it is being liked so much.

Oh well, perhaps I simply need to be a woman to 'get it'. The biggest problem I had with this movie was that it was buildup like a realistic and serious movie, complete with emotions and women trouble and all but with yet also some truly over-the-top comedy thrown into it. This just wasn't a combination that worked out very good or felt organic to me.

Some of the insane comical situations really seemed out of place and totally not in tone with any of the rest of the movie. This especially goes for the movie its gross out moments. It's good and all that there is a big and popular comedy for- and by women for a change but I'm just incapable of seeing it as a great or fun one. But like I said, this is probably all because I'm male and just can't relate to any of the issues being handled in this movie, or just simply don't find them all that interesting or appealing.

Yes, this foremost truly is a chick-flick, so if you are a female, simply just ignore what I have to say about it, since chances are you are going to have a totally different opinion- and feeling toward this movie. But really, the movie as a whole doesn't seem to be all that well written or clever.

It's of course mostly being predictable and most of the comical situations feel forced and like they were shoehorned in. Besides, it seemed so unlikely to me that all of these girls were all truly friends, since most of the them have very little in common. Some of the characters are also terribly underwritten and I have no idea why they were in this movie at all. It's not like the actors were bad though. I known lots of people are always saying bad things about women doing comedy but this movie definitely shows that females are perfectly capable of handling comedy material.

It of course helps that the movie is written by females. You could really tell that by basically everything that this movie was written by females for females. The dialog and story-flow all feel more natural because of this.

I only did wish the comedy was something better and more natural feeling as well. But again, if you are a female, chances are you will still end up really liking this movie. I wasn't all that impressed but then again, this movie clearly wasn't made for me. Sadsack Wiig who co-scripted the brilliantly comical screenplay with Annie Mumolo stars as Annie a sweet-natured but constantly put-upon ne'er-do-well whose well-meant intentions are put through the wringer when BFF Rudolph equally wonderful announces her engagement and forthcoming nuptials entailing Annie to arrange all the ceremonial events much to her chagrin.

What follows is nearly 2 hours of laugh-out-loud cringe-worthy and sharply skewed comedy that will have you howling for its mix of raunch witness the food poisoning bachelorette dinner and heart pretty much everywhere else that has been executive producer Judd Apatow's touch. But wait, don't get me wrong it's all about the ladies and what a fine comic ensemble of gifted comediennes assembled: McLendon-Covey as a desperate housewife looking for fun in any shape or form; mild-mannered newlywed Kemper; and finally scene stealer hell, lock her up for grand larceny!

McCarthy as Rudolph's future sis-in-law who speaks her mind and is in touch with her inner Chris Farley. To say anymore would ruin the experience but I truly say this comedy is the funniest I've seen in years to the point of stomping my feet on the floor in the theater to keep the oxygen flowing from lack thereof from laughing so hard, for so long!

The year's best comedy ; hand's down. Kudos to veteran TV director Paul Feig for balancing the comic strides so skillfully. Seriously funny! Bridesmaids is ostensibly a comedy about the mishaps of a group of bridesmaids aiming for a hen party outing to Las Vegas and, as a result, it invites direct comparison with the unexpected hit The Hangover of a couple of years ago. It even features a moderate amount of crude and scatological humour, and an outrageous exaggerated group member, thus making the leaning towards comparison even stronger.

In fact, the areas of comparison are fairly superficial. Bridesmaids is a much better film, and I say this as someone who thoroughly enjoyed The Hangover. As a male viewer of mature years, I watched Bridesmaids in a cinema where the audience was predominantly women of an age where they have met a various of life's disappointments and b the selfishnesses which men can sometimes demonstrate.

This film made them laugh a lot, and I enjoyed the experience of seeing it in the company of such an audience. It made me laugh, too, perhaps not with the outrageous belly laughs of The Hangover, but with knowing laughter almost all the way through.

He asks Annie to hand her the disposable shaver and shaves his sister's armpits. There's a new 5-minute scene where Annie has a date with a guy called Pete. While waiting at the living room for Pete to get ready, she has a very uncomfortable conversation with his son Taylor he's talking about "fear of dying", asking about Annie replacing his mother, etc.

After Annie goes upstairs, she overhears Pete talking on the phone telling his wife how he missed her and describes Annie as unattractive. Shocked by that, she went back downstairs and saw Taylor taking some contraceptive pills before leaving the house hastily. She sticks a slice of ham on his chest and eats them. However, Jon's reaction doesn't tell whether he likes it or not. Getting Started Contributor Zone ».
