Our take on Bridesmaids
Paul Feig's 2011 comedy centers on Annie, broke and lovelorn, whose life is a mess just as her lifelong best friend Lillian gets engaged. Duty-bound to serve as maid of honor, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive, bizarre rituals of the run-up to the wedding, clashing with the other bridesmaids while trying to prove how far she'll go for someone she loves. It's a sharp, character-driven romantic comedy powered by messy friendship, social embarrassment and generous laughs. If you like humor that mixes raunch with real emotional stakes and centers women navigating envy, loyalty and self-worth, this warm, unruly ensemble piece is an easy, satisfying watch.
