Bridesmaids

Blockbuster  Activate your BLOCKBUSTER On Demand deviceBridesmaids (2011)Director Paul Feig and producer Judd Apatow team up again for this comedy that stars Kristen Wiig as Annie, a romantically unattached failed bakery owner who fears she's losing her BFF, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), the best thing in her life, when Lillian announces she's gotten engaged. Annie's anxieties deepen as Lillian grows close to Helen (Rose Byrne), a wealthy and beautiful new friend who quickly assumes control of planning all the pre-wedding festivities. On top of the main storyline of a female friendship being torn apart, the movie adds a romantic storyline for Annie, who starts the film answering a booty call from the casually cruel yet undeniably handsome Ted (Jon Hamm), but develops a lovely flirtation with an Irish cop named Rhodes (Chris O'Dowd) after he pulls Annie over one night thinking she's driving drunk. As the low-self-esteem Annie sabotages this new possibility for love, she also feels the most important friendship in her life slipping away. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi Read More

This movie had many funny scenes, decent acting, and quite a little originality in the writing. All in all, a good comedy. The only knock on this movie is that the lead character (Wiig) is so pathetic that after a while it is hard to cheer for her. I mean really, how much can one person screw up their life by poor decisions and just general boneheadedness? The character of Melissa McCarthy (from TV's Mike and Molly) does a very good job, and almost steals the show. She is very funny, and since she isn't wallowing in self-pity for an entire movie, more likeable than Wiig's character, Annie. Also, the scene from the Bridal Shop was VERY funny.

This movie is absolutely hilarious! My husband and I could not stop laughing the whole time, everyone in the theater was laughing out loud also. My husband said he thought it was funnier than The Hangover. We will definitely be buying this once it's on DVD. Can't wait to see it again!!!
