Description

Thirty-something Annie (Kristen Wiig) has hit a rough patch but finds her life turned completely upside-down when she takes on the Maid of Honor role in her best friend Lillian's (Maya Rudolph) wedding. In way over her head but determined to succeed, Annie leads a hilarious hodgepodge of bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to the big event.

    J'aime bien ce film. Il est très drôle et parfois je ne pouvais juste plus m'arrêter de rire. Par contre, il n'est pas mon préféré. Il y a quelque scène que j'ai trouvée 'exagéré', mais il est quamd meme bien.

    Such a funny movie! I laughed histarically the first time I saw it, and I've seen it many times now and I still laugh just as hard. Great movie for adults, but definitely not for kids as it has sexual content and bad language

    I recently watched this movie with my husband, who promptly declared "I don't get it" and "do you girls REALLY act like that?" Both comments earned him an eye roll, but this is coming from a guy who feels 300 was cinematic perfection (extra gore, minimal romance, mega special effects, etc). But I digress...

    This movie is hilarious. Sure it gets a little infantile with some bathroom humour and the like, but I've seen a lot worse. I was happy to see that many of the funny bits were genuinely comical (I really hate it when EVERY joke is a bathroom or bedroom one - how unoriginal!), but what I absolutely loved is the raw and real behind-the-scenes look at the craziness that is wedding planning.

    Having said that, Maya Rudolph's character was way too zen and un-Bridezilla like, but if the writers would have gone there, it would have completely distracted from the focal character which is her Maid of Honour (the fabulous Kristin Wiig). The romantic twists and turns were real and cheesy and facepalmy and heartwarming... exactly what they should be.

    But my biggest shout out really has to go to Melissa McCarthy who totally stole the show with her Oscar-nominated performance. SO funny, SO real, and so unexpected considering her co-stars' megawatt talents. Having seen an episode or two of Mike & Molly (in which she plays Molly - a bit of a safe character IMO), it's fantastic to see her really hitting it hard in Bridesmaids.

    Great flick, may or may not be a keeper for the DVD library, but definitely a worthy pick for Girls' Night In!

    Not your normal 'chickflick'. This was a really funny movie I went to see with my bf and he loved it.

    I'm a fan of these women, not just in this movie, but most of the ones they do. Now I'm not usually much for toilet humour, but there is a scene that made me laugh hysterically and gag at the same time. All in all, it's a funny movie, there is great chemistry with all the women in the movie which makes it even better. Would definitely recommend.

    A marriage of genuine characters, gross out gags, and pathos, Bridesmaids is a female-driven comedy that refuses to be boxed in as Kristen Wiig emerges as a real star!! IMO!!

    The movie, I have to admit wasnt something I thought Id rush into because it seemed to cliche y, if thats a word haha and yet it got me hook line and sinker! Its def a must see for comedy lovers, and any woman!

    Bridesmaids is a stiletto-sharp, raunchy, no-holds-barred yuk-fest that stands as a worthy female counterpart to the likes of Wedding Crashers and The Hangover.
