There is a lot of buzz about Paul Feig's new movie "Bridesmaids," starring Kristen Wiig and a huge ensemble cast. It doesn't open nationwide until May 13, but it premiered at SXSW 2011, and we have a review!
Here's an excerpt from George Hickman's review to whet your appetite:
Not only is "Bridesmaids" one of the most satisfying romantic comedies to come along in years, its also the funniest comedy in recent memory.
This spring, producer Judd Apatow and director Paul Feig invite you to experience "Bridesmaids." Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian, and a group of colorful bridesmaids on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Annie's life is a mess. But when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged, she simply must serve as Lillian's maid of honor. Though lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it perfect, she'll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far you'll go for someone you love.
Kristen Wiig - so good in Adventureland, MacGruber and the recently released Paul - finally takes centre stage in Bridesmaids, a lewd, crude comedy that plays like a (somewhat inferior) female version of The Hangover.
Wiig co-wrote the screenplay and stars as Annie, an unlucky-in-love thirtysomething invited to be maid-of-honour at her best friend Lillian's wedding.
But she has a rival for her BFF's affections in the shape of the beautiful, rich and seemingly perfect Helen, who has her own designs on the wedding preparations.
Annie retains responsibility to begin with, but following a disastrous shopping trip, a catastrophic bachelorette dinner and an aborted trip to Las Vegas, her life starts to unravel and the bride-to-be soon sides with Helen, forcing Annie to pull out all the stops to win her friend back.
It's funny stuff, with Wiig's talent for physical comedy and way with a witty put-down providing many of the film's highlights. She's ably supported by Rose Byrne as the too-good-to-be-true Helen, and following her hilarious turn in Get him to the Greek, it seems the Australian actress could have a future in comedy should she decide to give up the TV dramas.
Maya Rudolph has little to do other than look annoyed as the future bride, while the rest of the bridesmaids - Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper and Melissa McCarthy - each have their moments, but feel less like real people and more like crude caricatures, particularly McCarthy as the unhinged Megan.
Chris O'Dowd - best known to UK audiences as Roy in The IT Crowd - delivers a star-making turn as a put-upon traffic cop who falls for Wiig, the Irish actor charm personified throughout and doubtless destined to have a Hollywood career once this one hits.
And special mention should go to Mad Men's Jon Hamm, playing the ultimate bastard and delivering one of the film's best gags concerning an unspeakable act in a car.
