movie review... bridesmaids 2011

yes ok... i know that the harry potter fever is still in the air and i should go with the wave and write something about it... though am contemplating of doing mah own potter critique, circumstances change when somehow i accidentally watched this very good movie earlier... and i decided to go against the flow and write something about this movie instead...

i cant remember the last time i watched a comedy film which revolves around the wedding theme... and it will be very hard for someone to convince me to watch this type of movies in big screens as my standard for this kind of movie is very high... eventually at first glance, bridemaids would certainly pass mah criteria of a DVD worthy flick... the only reason i watched this is because that's the only movie i can watch in mah free time between mah class... and luckily, this movie really exceeds mah expectations and inspired me to write about it...

the movie revolves around Annie (played by Kirsten Wiig) and how her life was suddenly tossed upside down when her childhood friend Lillian (played by Maya Rudolph) chose her to become her maid of honor... the story seems simple though, but what made it interesting is the injection of Helen, Lillian's bestfriend, in the picture and how Annie and Helen struggle to outdo each other in proving to Lillian who's her best bestfriend ever... the characters in the movie reminds me of the characters in the tv series, desperate housewives... Annie as Lynette Scavo, Helen as Gabrielle Solis and Lillian as Susan Mayer... and when this three characters are put into one movie, the story will surely be a bomb...

overall, i certainly agree that this movie is a marriage of genuine characters, gross out gags, and pathos as this wedding-driven comedy surely refuses to be boxed in and may rival the position of my bestfriends wedding as the best wedding-driven comedy ever...

also, the holywood critics are saying that bridesmaids is a comedy movie that is raunchy and fearless, brilliantly written and shrewdly honest about what’s really going on in women’s lives.

finally, i must say that this movie is well worth of mah time and mah penny.... a movie that will definitely give you a good laugh from start to end and makes you cherish more the different aspects of true friendship... a movie that i will certainly recommend to my friends... i give this movie 4.5 out 5..
