Bridesmaids

Ratings: 6.7/10

Film Class: B

Genre: Comedy

No doubt about it. Bridesmaids is truly the female version of Hangover. Why? There's loads of crude humor in it and for its audience out there, it's either you like it, or you don't. It may come across as offending to some, and f***** hilarious to others, but for me, it was simply a so-so movie.

The scenarios were too exaggerated, but funny nonetheless, and the entire movie didn't give a very "feel-good" feel to it even though I kinda expected it from the movie poster. Each of the Bridesmaids were "unique" in their own way and the relatively unknown main lead, Kristen Wiig (Annie) truly stole the limelight. She was obnoxiously funny and had this "like and hate" personality about her character. Well, that means, she acted well.

Actually, Melissa McCarthy also gave a superb performance as Annie's best friend's sister in law. Oh and yeah, Annie's best friend, Lilian is the one getting married. I think the problem with this movie is that there's just too many characters in it. While the focus did still mange to revolve around Annie and Lilian, the movie felt relatively messy.

*spoilers ahead* There's one of the most disgusting scenes I've seem on screen (didn't expect it to be from this movie) which was rather interesting. It's not gory, and there's no violence or nudity in it. But the act of a group of decently dressed bridesmaids puking all over the place, has won a place in my top 10 most disgusting scenes in filmology.

While Bridesmaids might not be my cup of tea, if you're a fan of The Hangover, Knocked Up or Due Date, you might be laughing your pants or intestines out with this film. Watch with an open mind, an open heart and an open stomach.
