Bridesmaids (2011) was short a few sparkles and fizzled out fast then I ever would of thought. The tag line read "Its the Hangover for Women", but I beg to differ. Its biggest laughs came during the opening awkward sex scene, the airplane drug usage, and the dress fittings from hell. After the first 30 minutes or so, the jokes didn't have a pay off and they fell flat as a pancake. Snap, Crackle and No POP!Bridesmaids was directed by Paul Feig and written by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo. Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne.
As much as I loved the idea behind the movie, I don't think it was brought to the big screen in the right way. Bridesmaids seemed to find to much dead air in between the jokes that were even slightly funny.
The film was designed for us to follow Annie (Kristen Wiig) after being picked to be her best friend's (Maya Rudolph), maid of honor. The mix and match bridesmaids find themselves in an expensive and bizarre wedding rituals that would even make me want to cry! Annie turns our to be a bit whinny and lack total self confidence. I love how Hollywood sees women.
Having always been a big fan of Saturday Night Live, I was in some ways looking forward to seeing Bridesmaids. However, all I could do was sit in the back of the theater and wish for the end of the movie.
The ladies seemed to being trying to hard to get a laugh. It all seemed a bit to forced. Funny women are awesome but if your not Tina Fey, don't try to be.
To sum up this film I can simply say this, PMS gone awry! I expected crazy antics and drunken mishaps, instead I was left watching bitch fits and crying feasts. Not impressed ladies! The film did seem to prove just how caddy and dramatic women really are. I would love to see what was left on The Editor's Floor.
P.S.
If you are a fan of Alice in Wonderland (2010) look for Matt Lucas in Bridesmaids (2011). Matt plays the role of Gil, Annie's weirdo roommate. If your not sure who he was in Alice in Wonderland he was Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
