Absolutely brilliant

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I was surprised to find that Bridesmaids actually has a heart. It features solid writing, actual drama impressive performances. Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne all do a fantastic job. It's just a shame that all of the good this movie has is surrounded by crude jokes and persistent vulgar language. I honestly think it would have been better without it - it's just a cheap way to get a reaction.

I appreciate that some may find this funny and it had its moments but I'm afraid this type of comedy is not for me. Unfortunately I can't laugh at the awkwardness I just feel equally as awkward and it hurts... so much.

I haven't watched a modern comedy in years, but on a whim, I decided to watch this one. Comedies, when mixed with drama, usually are effective when bad things happen TO the protaganist, NOT when she causes her own pain with jealousy, envy, and acting out. This movie hits rock bottom when Kirsten Wiig explodes with jealousy when a pretty friend of her best friend tops her wedding shower gift. She tries to destroy everything in her path, lashes out at strangers, causes herself to lose her job, dumps a man who sincerely cares for her, refuses to accept apologies, and generally emits poison everywhere she goes. And this is a COMEDY. No, it's not. Nor is it a drama. What it is is a depiction of what happens when a person is so mentally ill that they know that while life does not always go there that there are still people that treat you nice, but they are so self absorbed they don't even care, because they are not getting the fairy tale life.I'm trying to limp through the last 20 minutes of this, but it's hard. I am not rooting for Kirsten Wiig. She's not someone that evokes pity in this movie, but rather someone who everyone should stay away from. The Ugly American.I actually am watching the timer on my computer to see if I can stand to get to the end. 17 minutes. Apologies between the two leads at 15 minutes. The rage is real, but the apologies are those half-assed apologies you get from people who are sort of still self absorbed. So why do I give it two stars? It's the first movie I've seen with Rose Byrne. Yes, people like to look at a lovely woman, but she acts lovely on the inside, a behavior this movie desperately needs.With 8 minutes to go, the guy comes back. Why? Because of her half-assed apology a half hour earlier?An anti-climactic, soulless ending. Thank you Hollywood.

This movie has not set any standard, to be honest! It it is basically about a woman going through a really bad time in her life, and we are all supposed to find that funny, which isn'tFirst, the main focus will be Kristen Wiig- she blew me away in this film. Not only is she consistently and uniquely funny, but her character is surprisingly well-developed, more than the script itself. Few women possess the comic timing like hers and an ability to be cute and awkward at the same time which is so required for being the main protagonist. In addition, three scenes- The argument with the 13-year old customer at the store, the airplane scene and the fight with Melissa McCarthy are absolutely classic. Finally, the story isn't neither ground-breaking nor revolutionary in any terms; the film ends up being quite heartfelt and even rather sentimental in places. The stomach flu scenes in the bathroom and on the street were an absolute embarrassment. It tries to be derivative from the stupid standard comedy of Hollywood, and ends up more being a black comedy/dramedy.
