A sluggish, charmless misfire in which even the most appealing players -- must try too hard to make anything close to an engaging impression.
Full reviewJudd Apatow (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) produced comedy about a group of bridesmaids and their misguided attempt to throw a wedding party for their friend.
Saturday Night Live regular Kristen Wiig (also the co-writer here) leads the cast as Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and a group of colorful bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to matrimony.

Full reviewFrom its opening sex scene and with the first words being spoken being about cupping a part of the anatomy, you can tell Bridesmaids is going to tread lightly.
Full reviewIt’s uneven, unwieldy and overlong, but if it’s yucks you’re after you’ll find them in abundance in a side-splitting comedy that lifts the veil on every wedding’s unsung heroines.

Full reviewFinally, a female ensemble comedy that balances realistic characters with smart laughs and side-splitting farce. Not everything works, but there’s more than enough here to keep you chuckling — not to mention baying for a sequel.
