Bridesmaids

Comedy, Slightly Raunchy
4 stars
Very funny –definitely NOT a chick flick - the guys in the theater were laughing even harder than the females. I laughed out loud many, many times though some scenes I found excruciating, such as the bridesmaids’ dueling toasts but, to be fair, the other theater-goers were in stitches. Maya Rudolph appoints best friend Kristen Wiig as her Maid of Honor, which puts Wiig under tremendous stress on top of her bad job situation, bad romance (hilariously with John Hamm) and puts her head to head with Rose Byrne with whom she competes for being the “BFF” of Rudolph. Some jokes didn’t work for me, but I did laugh out loud quite a bit, and as aforementioned, the humor’s a tad raunchy. Funny, funny film.
