Bridesmaids

YEAR 2011

DIRECTOR Paul Feig

STARRING Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne

WRITER Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo

OVERVIEW Picked as her best friend's maid of honor, lovelorn and broke Annie fights for her position as she joins an oddball group of bridesmaids.

OPINION  Annie (Kristen Wiig) is fantastic-brilliant-perfect. The dialogue is terrific. Rose Byrne is under-utilized. Coming from ‘Get him to the Greek’ where she steals half the movie, Byrne has to be given more scope. The script takes off like their jet plane, towards cruising speed and then decides to stop short of the perfect altitude, stay safe and land(?). The climax of the movie should have been at ‘Vegas but the girls don’t get there. It is all set up perfectly…they are drunk, drugged and experimenting with lesbianism. This movie couldn’t decide if it was ‘The Hangover for Girls’ or a chick flick. Sorry guys you cannot use the ‘C’ word and then choose to be a chick flick. Disappointing..in a good way. I wanted more .

RATING YYY1/2
