The C word!




Title: Bridesmaids

Directed by: Paul Feig

Written by: Kirstin Wiig ….

Starring: Kirsten Wiig, Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthyy

Comedy is unforgiving, unrelenting, ruthless and at times painful, but it’ll do it’s job, make you laugh. And that’s Bridesmaids in a nutshell, a ferociously funny film filled with unbelievably nauseating moments. The text follows Annie (Kirsten Wiig) a failed bakery owner down and out on her luck who makes worse decisions than the South African Wildlife protectorate – really tighten up those damn Hooker hunting laws. Her best friend Lillian is soon to get married and asks Annie to be her maid of honour, reluctantly she agrees and a comedy of errors in the crudest and most intelligent ways unveils itself. Producing one of the funniest films of the year with a knockout all-female cast who deliver the goods repeatedly in this hilarious yet at times suicidal comedy. Wiig and McCarthy are a tour de force delivering the comedic performances of a year in a solid script which isn’t over basterdized by vulgarity or sensitivity. But rather strikes a feminine balance to make wholly believable and at times endearing.

Bridesmaids, comedy with a Capital C!

I give it 8 Hoers
