Bridesmaids (2:05) 2011

If you are in the mood to laugh until your stomach aches, run, do not walk, to see Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids has lots of laughs, the funniest being the scene when the ladies are shopping for bridesmaids' dresses. The ladies are in an exclusive bridal shop when they all experience the symptoms of food poisoning. The scene is gross and crude but it is hysterical.  The movie is about Annie, a bakery owner whose shop has gone out of business, and her best friend, Lillian who is planning a wedding. Lillian has asked her childhood friend to be her maid of honor and Annie has accepted. All is well into attractive and very wealthy Helen, her intended husband's boss's wife inserts herself into the plans. Annie is jealous of Helen as Helen dominates the planning of the shower, the bachelorette party and even the wedding. I have to admit I wasn't happy with the bridal shower scene, I thought that Annie was mean spirited and ruined the shower for Lillian, Helen and the guests. The movie is a chick flick and shows the ups and downs of planning a wedding. The other bridesmaids are funny especially Megan, the groom's sister. There are serious moments in the movie and can be sentimental and moving. Ladies, take your girlfriends to the movies and have a blast.
