This Bride's Got 'em...

Bridesmaids (R)
Directed by Paul Feig and Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Wendi McClendon-Covey, Jon Hamm and Chris O'Dowd




It has been a very long time since I have both laughed out loud (lol to you twitter/ texters) and enjoyed a comedy fully in the theater.  Kristen Wiig (who also co-wrote the movie) is such a talent as a hilarious, real and flawed maid of honor.  Her chemistry (and the chemistry of the whole cast together) on screen is a welcome sight and something that has been missing in comedies lately.  Melissa McCarthy is a scene-stealer in her own right and whenever she is on screen, you know it's good.

Produced by renown comedy producer Judd Apatow (40 year old virgin, Knocked up, Step Brothers and many others) you can count on it being funny, over the top sexual humor and plenty of language.  Although this movie did have those things, it really didn't seem as bad as it could have been.  But, it is hilarious.  I was crying with laughter in one scene in particular and would even venture to say that I'd see it again.

Bridesmaids is a seriously funny movie built on a foundation of friendship and heart.  See it with some friends and have fun with it.

Enjoy,

Brice
