None of the women, for example, (aside from the single Megan) are professionals so they need financial support. Is it a perfect wedding when you have puppies as partying gifts or when you have a giant cookie cake that no one will eat? Bridesmaids positions marriage such that women are forced into it for security and validation. Maybe the laser show is mocking the place marriage has in our society today.
Bridesmaids movie how to#
By the end of the movie, I didn’t know how to feel about Lillian's over-the-top wedding. It is refreshing to hear a woman’s perspective on marriage. So often it’s the case we hear men complaining that marriage means the end of sex. Rita (McLendon-Covey) “can’t watch the Daily Show without being entered,” while Becca’s (Kemper) love life is passionless. As we meet more of Lillian’s friends, we see how they are put in rather depressing positions. Lillian’s tone about the guy was such that I thought it was more of a fling than a long term relationship. Marriage isn’t painted as the most positive institution so, perhaps, we are supposed to feel a little awkward by the sudden engagement. A couple days go by and Lillian tells us that she is engaged to that guy he felt distant because he was nervous. Her friend Lillian is with a guy who has been “kinda distant recently”. It failed, he left, she lost all of her money and now she works at a jewelry store. She opened a bakery with her previous boyfriend. She is at that stage where she wants to feel bad about herself and, shortly thereafter, we learn about why. “I shouldn’t but he is so cute,” Annie replies. “Why are you seeing him…at all…ever,” the friend asks. The next morning, after the guy tells her to leave, she meets with her best friend, Lillian (Rudolph).
It isn’t a new joke but it got a chuckle out of me. It’s funny to see his enthusiasm compared to her obvious dissatisfaction.

The movie opens with a comedic sex scene with Annie Walker (Wiig) and her friend (read: attractive jerk that doesn’t want more than sex). I don’t think my hopes were too high though. I tried not to get my hopes up but I did and what I found was a disappointing movie that made me want to watch something else (later re-watched Meet the Parents). I expected it to be something of a female based Hangover (which I found surprisingly funny). After all, it was nominated for best supporting actress and best original screenplay. I had heard great things about Bridesmaids.

The film does, however, have a number of clichés in it and it is certainly no Oscar-worthy material, but it is entertaining, funny, charming and keeps you engaged. The other performances are generally pretty decent. Kristen Wiig, whom I've never seen before on screen, was simply amazing as Annie - very naturally acted role, convincing and highly entertaining. After all, it is a comedy, so one expects from the beginning to get a happy ending (of some sort). And while rather depressing at times with her issues, the film is written rather cleverly making it seem as if everything will be alright in the end. The story of bridesmaids trying to have fun and organise a great wedding for their friend is, actually, overshadowed by the personal troubles of the lead character, Annie. "Bridesmaids" is extremely entertaining there is never a dull moment in the film.
