Bridesmaids: Not Your Average Chick-Flick

Bridesmaids (MA 15+) 2011
Director: Paul Feig
Cast: Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Jon Hamm
Bridesmaids Trailer


Bridesmaids is certainly not your average chick-flick. The film concentrates on Annie (Kristen Wiig) as she assumes the position of maid of honour to her best friend's wedding. Her role however is slowly over-shadowed by none other than the bride's newest best friend, Helen (Rose Byrne). The film is hilarious, and the comedy exceeds relatively mediocre expectations that are shown in the trailer.



Personally, I found the film to encompass an unexpected depth that most comedies fail to incorporate, not to mention a real insight into the minds of women and how women are naturally inclined to think and act without the presence of men. Such diversion sets the film apart from most chick-flick comedies as the typical romantic comedy is left at the door, bringing the brilliant script writing skills of Kristen Wiig into play.


Verdict: I thoroughly recommend this film if your in for a decent laugh and believe the romantic comedy is long overdue for retirement.
7.5 out 10 stars
