Bridesmaids

Last night I went and watched Bridesmaids... for all those who may not be familiar, Bridesmaids is a comical chick flick released here in the UK last week...

Following the life of main character and maid of honour Annie (Kristen Wiig) we are taken through her whirlwind journey coping with life as a singleton, competing with new 'best friend' of the bride Helen (Rose Byrne) and meeting the man who turns life back around.

Bridesmaids really does have everything you would expect from a girlie film; a selection of differently minded girls, a wedding, a FB, the perfect guy, puppies, booze, tears, love and plenty of laughs. I honestly cannot remember the last time I watched a chick-flick that delivered on so many levels.

It made me think alot about my own life, how it feels to be single, how it feels to be used, and how it feels to be loved. I think that many girls will have gone through that Annie has and feel a certain degree of connection to her character. All in all it relates to the audience and holds your attention from start to finish.

Most chick-flick movies tend to lack in some areas and have funny moments which aren't actually that funny, yet Bridesmaids is able to offer the viewer 125 minutes of pure comedy genius as well as tap into feelings and emotions that not only makes you laugh but also has the capability to make you cry.

Some particular highlights are the plane journey to Vegas, the various 'law-breaches' using a car and that Bridal shower.

Final thought: Thinking about seeing this film? It's worth saying 'I do.'
