Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids has an impressive ensemble cast, however (and thankfully), the film is mainly about the character Annie played by Kristen Wiig. Annie is asked to be the maid of honor in her best friend's wedding and the movie follows her downward spiral after this honor is bestowed upon her. This film provides more evidence that Wiig is an intelligent and witty entertainer. She is the whole package. But for as superb as Wiig is, Melissa McCarthy, who plays Megan, is also a force to be reckoned with. She provides the perfect level of vulgarity and raunch in the most endearing and exquisite way. She is extremely bawdy and so is the film. The storyline of the film works fairly well. There is, of course, a bit of a love story which is awkward and sweet but by no means is that the reason to watch the film. The ridiculousness and one-liners make for a pleasing laugh-fest and for a highly quotable film. Bridesmaids is made for a much larger audience than the title suggests. It is a must see.
