Jan 03, 2018Featuring a shiny performance from Kristen Wiig, Bridesmaids is ever so entertaining and better realized than a lot of similar comedies, albeit its showcase of talented female comedians isn't on par with its ultimate generic story arc.Filipe P Super Reviewer

Jun 22, 2016This is pretty much the ladies' answer to "The Hangover" series. It is nearly as effective as well. It is always refreshing to see a well cast film of female comedians. Kristen Wiig writes a great script here chock full of "bride/bridesmaid" gags like trouble at dress fittings and bridal showers. Definitely worth watching if you have ever been or want to be a bridesmaid or if your girlfriend says you have no choice.Patrick W Super Reviewer

Apr 26, 2015Bridesmaids disapproves the belief held by many morons that women aren't funny. Sister to Todd Phillips' The Hangover, the most feminine of the "lad" films and features SNL regulars Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig in very well cast roles and have a brilliant back-and-forth chemistry throughout. Wiig is a particularly benevolent addition to the picture as the film's relateable and wildly likeable protagonist and Rose Byrne is also great as her rival throughout. The blend of typical crude comedy and a genuinely moving story of friendship works extremely well. One of the few comedies to actually make me laugh out loud.Harry W Super Reviewer

Jan 09, 2015Infectiously funny, sarcastic and charming, Bridesmaids is a laugh-out-loud comedy. The film sprouts its gags and potential from its cast (Wiig, Rudolph, McCarthy, Byrne & others) and it's comedic gold. 5/5Eugene B Super Reviewer
