This movie really made me laugh and it's great to see a really good comedy about women.
Written by and starring the wonderful Kristen Wiig, her character Annie discovers that her best friends impending marriage means their friendship is about to change forever and as Lillian's circle of friends get acquainted the fun really begins!
All the female leads are likable and funny in their own way; Maya Rudolph gives a sensible quality to Lillian who's ready to become a wife.
I love the pairing of Becca and Rita played by Ellie Kemper and Wendi McLendon-Covey, the former being a misty-eyed newly-wed and the latter being completely exhausted by married life and motherhood and their scenes together are hilarious!
Rose Byrne is brilliant as Helen who becomes Annie's nemesis as they try to compete for Lillian's affection and both she and Kristen Wiig are great throughout and have some very funny scenes, especially when they have to hang out together!
But it's Melissa McCarthy's character Megan who steals it as Lillian's soon to be sister-in-law with some stand out scenes that will be remembered!
I also really like Chris O'Dowd as the sweet and good natured cop Nathan.
Filled with copious amounts of humour and scenes that may strike a chord with many of us; Bridesmaids is a great piece of comedy that stands up loud and proud.
