- StimpyA 'Chick Flick' For Everyone"Bridesmaids" is a movie I somewhat reluctantly chose to see. I say "reluctantly" for two reasons - 1) as a guy I'm not into the "chick flick" or "rom-com" genres and 2) the two leads (Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph) are both SNL veterans, and the sub-sub-mediocre Saturday Night Live lost all appeal to me a long time ago. However, a lady I recently started dating wanted me to pick a movie, and "Bridesmaids" seemed like the most promising of the dismal batch of movies currently showing in theaters. My ladyfriend kind of looked at me cross-eyed when I told her that's the movie I chose - "Really? That doesn't seem like the kind of movie a guy would pick". She was going solely by the title of the movie, though - I had done some internet research and knew that this movie had more up its sleeve than the title would imply. So, I hoped at least it wouldn't bore me to death.
We went and saw it last night, and as it turned out I was lucky enough to have picked a winner. "Bridesmaids" is a sendup of male-driven gross-out buddy movies and a romantic comedy, a mix that I thought wouldn't work very well. And indeed there are some themes in the movie that seem forced or contrived, and wear a bit thin as the surprisingly long comedy (2 hours, 5 minutes theatrical running time) unfolds. But Wiig, who I hadn't known of before because of my disassociation from SNL, carries the movie wonderfully. She effortlessly portrays Annie, a discontented mid-thirtysomething who has pretty much failed at life. Her life takes a wild turn when her best friend Lillian (Rudolph) asks her to be maid of honor at her wedding. Annie immediately runs afoul of Lillian's new friend Helen (Rose Byrne), who as the controlling, rich trophy wife of Lillian's fiance's boss, uses her money and passive-aggressive elitism to not only foil Annie at every turn, but to draw Lillian away from Annie as well. Every time Annie tries to regain an even footing with Helen and re-take control of the duties (and prestige) of maid of honor, Helen, and Annie's own self-destructive incompetence, stop her dead in her tracks - always with laugh-inducing results.
Not all the bridesmaid characters are fully fleshed-out in this movie, but they all do get their turn to contribute to the laughs. Bridesmaid Megan, boisterously portrayed by the in-your-face Melissa McCarthy, stole just about every scene she played a major role in. I was prepared to dislike her character based on her first appearance; at first it seemed like she was just cast to be the token, one-dimensional, overweight, plain, "fart joke" nobody in a group of otherwise prettier and more polished women. Megan has about as much class and sophistication as an ox in heat. However, as the movie progressed I began to like Megan a lot; in her totally unpolished and uncultured way she was the most honest, wise and forthright of the group. It's definitely worth watching a minute or two into the final credits, as Megan gets one more chance to shine her belching, flatulent light. For better or worse, the words "bear sandwich" will be indelibly seared into your mind after watching her final scene.
The movie's most talked-about scene, a vomit- and feces-fest where the bridesmaids go shopping for dresses at an incredibly upscale and snooty bridal boutique after getting food poisoning at a run-down Brazilian restaurant (a restaurant picked by Annie, naturally), is deliberately plunked into the middle of the movie by the director (Paul Feig) as an ode to every gross-out guy flick ever made. Yeah, it was funny in its slapstick, gross-out way, but I'm still debating whether that scene, drawn-out as it was, was totally necessary. It seemed to be artificially inserted in the movie. But what the hey, it got the laughs and "e[...]" audience reactions it was going for.
Wiig has a natural gift for physical comedy, and she demonstrates both the subtle and over-the-top aspects of this gift throughout. Her drunken attempts to sneak into first class on a flight to Las Vegas and subsequent run-ins with a prissy male flight attendant and the flight's air marshal are a gem. She's pretty, but in a down-to-earth way, and does not rely on her looks in the least to drive the film forward (other than using her wonderfully expressive face to convey her character's quirky, needy, flawed personality). "Bridesmaids" is Wiig's first cinematic star vehicle, and she did very well presenting us with a characterization of Annie as a character who is both sympathetic and humorous, both deeply human and clownish. I look forward to her next effort.
Overall, I consider this movie a winner. Obviously a lot of other people thought so as well; it has grossed over 100 million dollars after costing 32 million to make. My ladyfriend and I both enjoyed this movie greatly. Advice to the guys reading this review - "Bridesmaids" is worth your time because although the movie is a nuptial-themed female-driven endeavor, this movie definitely is not your typical chick-flick rom-com. I will be pre-ordering this from Amazon, for sure. - P MagnumNot Your Average Chick FlickBridesmaids is a rare breed of comedy, one that provides the raunchy, gross-out laughs of a guy buddy film like The Hangover & Wedding Crashers, but one with a heart. The film focuses on the downward spiral of Annie (Kristen Wiig) as her best friend Lil (Maya Rudolph) plans her wedding and names Annie as maid-of-honor. Annie had a bakery that tanked and now she is forced to work at a jewelry store and live with an extremely creepy British brother & sister in a cramped apartment. She degrades herself by sleeping with Ted (Jon Hamm) who is more than upfront about the relationship being just about hooking up. In the meantime, she gets into a competition with Lil's new friend Helen (Rose Byrne) on who is really Lil's best friend and running the wedding. Along the way she falls for an Irish cop Rhodes (Chris O'Dowd) with whom she can't really commit. Lil's future sister-in-law Megan (Melissa McCarthy) adds the most comedic relief as an in your face, over sexed woman who seduces an undercover air marshal on an aborted trip to Las Vegas. While Ms. McCarthy has been garnering much deserved praise for her portrayal of Megan, it is Ms. Wiig who is the heart & soul of the film. Watching Annie slide further and further into depression and misery could be painful, but Ms. Wiig handles it with just the right touch to where you feel sorry for Annie but she stops short of becoming completely pitiful. There a far too numerous hysterical scenes to detail, although the trip to an exclusive bridal shop stands out. Suffice to say, Bridesmaids will make you laugh, maybe even cry and you will have enjoyed the two plus hours of the film.
- Michael D. FiorenzaSERIOUSLY?!?! What is wrong with some people?I just watched this on pay-per-view today. I simply cannot fathom how some people's reviews are anything but 5 stars on this movie. This is only the second movie I've ever watched in my 45 years on this planet that made me laugh so hard that I literally fell out of my chair onto the floor (the other movie being "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective"). I'm a big fan of Kristen Wiig, and I'm now happy to say that I'm a big fan of Melissa McCarthy (from "Mike & Molly" fame). Not only is this movie laugh-out-loud-'til-your-gut-is-wrenching funny, but it's also a movie with real heart and a nice quality storyline to go with it. But there are a couple of scenes in particular that will go down in movie history as being classic comedy. While I won't give anything away here to those who have not seen this movie yet, all I'm going to say is the "Bridal Shop" scene and the "Little Boy w/Glasses" scene. All of the characters are great, but Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy's characters are far & away the scene stealers here. The movie isn't hilarious the entire way through as there is a meaningful plot that plays true to life for many I'm sure. But there's something to be said for a movie that has you laughing out loud within the first 2 minutes (not to mention putting a 45 year old man into hysterics to the point at which I nearly thought I'd have to call 911). This is an absolute MUST SEE comedy for anyone who has any sense of humor. 10 stars in my book!
