Paul Feig’s movie about a 30-something woman (Kristen Wiig) who spirals way out of control when her BFF (Maya Rudolph) gets engaged scored with critics and viewers.
Femme-driven, Bridesmaids was a richly realized and consistently laugh-out-loud comedy.
It was inspired by a screenplay by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, Feig’s generous touch, and strong ensemble (Melissa McCarthy).
End result was a blend of gross-out humor, rom-com and gal-pal flick, fueled by a great passive-aggressive rivalry (Wiig’s Annie vs. Rose Byrne’s trophy wife from hell, Helen).
It contains at least two hilarious comic set pieces: the dress fitting felled by food poisoning (“It’s coming out of me like lava!”), and a plane ride thrown into chaos by Xanax chased with scotch.
