There's joy and sorrow, comedy and drama, laughter and perhaps a tear or two in Bridesmaids.
For all the raunch and potty mouth women, this is just another warmed over chick flick. Kristin Wiig is the pathetic best friend of Maya Rudolph the bride to be. Wiig has already played this loser character in Paul. In her last two films she's now managed to typecast herself as a variation of Charlie Chaplin's put upon tramp character complete with slapstick.
Bridesmaids clocks in at over 2 hours which is way too long for any comedy. The film loads up with secondary characters like Jon Hamm as the selfish boyfriend and the extremely overbearing colorful character of the obnoxious friend played by Melissa McCarthy who is funny for a whole 10 minutes.
It all ends with the ladies singing their little hearts out at the wedding, best buddies forever.
125 minutes.
