Let me end the debate here and now : Bridesmaids is better than the Hangover trilogy.
YES, you read this right.
It has something for everyone, boasting an acceptance among girls and boys, the ladies and the gentlemen alike : something that the Hangover movies were not able to generate.
The plot is deceptively simple but laced with humour. Even the most common of scenes in the movie have an unspoken comic element about them. Kristen Wiig is talented and everyone knew that, but this script confirms her position as the comic lady who could someday become better than her ex-boss Tina Fey.
SNL people sure have a lot to offer.
Bridesmaids revolves around the pre-wedding stages of a certain Miss Lillian Donovan (Maya Rudolph) and the constant clash of egos between Lillian's best friend and maid of honour Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig), and her fiance's boss' wife Helen Harris III (Rose Byrne). Melissa McCarthy as Megan, Lillian's mysteriously weird future sister-in-law, is the pick of the lot. Her expressions in the movie are to die for and one can see how she was nominated for an Oscar in the capacity of a Supporting Actress.
The direction is nothing exceptional but it is able to do justice to the superbly authored script.
Maybe that's where The Hangover - Part I edges past it.
Nonetheless, this is one movie where you would definitely be flaunting a smile on your face the entire time.
The cameo by Jon Hamm as Ted, a self-absorbed sexual animal, is a nice touch to the movie. Wiig is true to her role of a damsel in distress, with her bakery shut down and her non-reciprocating boyfriend Ted. However, the manner in which she is saved by a traffic officer Nathan Rhodes (Chris O'Dowd) is a tad bit predictable. Their chemistry, while not the best part of the movie, is enough to keep you interested.
All in all, it is a good movie with clear-cut intentions to make you laugh. It never tries too hard.
It doesn't need to.
PS : Wait for sometime after the credits start rolling. McCarthy has a "treat" in store for you!
