We finally have a play female-fronted R-rated, which is really great, and Paul Feig's bridesmaids. The film, Judd Apatow, co-op, because it is absolutely all the right people in front of a camera and back, everything is being done to make people laugh, which is fully deserved, and finally presents the movie star / co-writer, Kristen Wiig is funny baby.
Of course, the bridesmaids practices comedy of discomfort and humiliation, with lots and lots of physical comedy, bold and likely to be subservient to large tracts of it.
But this is not small and does not hate his characters. In addition, it includes the most important lesson of the Farrelly and American Pie and previous work Apatow: That kind of comedy works when it is the heart and not when it is not.
Wiig stars as Annie, a 40-ish single woman whose life is thrown for a loop when his best friend for life (SNLer colleague Maya Rudolph) becomes engaged.
Already disappointed by the failure of its bakery business, and sentenced to a shock event indifferent (Jon Hamm), Annie clashes with the bridesmaids, especially Helen (Rose Byrne), the ice queen Chief trophy wife boyfriend. The two battle through a series of SETPIECE, including accessories, wedding showers and a disastrous trip to Las Vegas, while Wiig also a novel principle of an alternative traffic cop (Chris O'Dowd).
Just like the Wedding Crashers was based on a phenomenon of men with proven quite the romantic atmosphere of the wedding trying to get laid, bridesmaids based on another not-so-rare scenario in real life that is not accompanied by a marriage in which two or more of the bridesmaids were at war with each other?
plot bridesmaids' gives the impression that Bride Wars, comedy harmful few years ago with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway as rival wives pull the hair of another.
Bridesmaids, but there is so much better, and the furthest thing possible to the standard chick flick. First, it is set and filmed in Milwaukee, and the lack of high fashion and the brilliance of most of these films.
Wiig is the best thing about the movie, goes to bread in a show that is filled with all sorts of ingenious physical comedy. The best thing about Saturday Night Live for several years, at least until she recently started to play characters of a dull note as the Lady Gilly target and actress at her best here.
You feel you know what might be their only chance at a role and should take, and do.
But the film is full of other standout performances. Byrne, who was the best thing for him in Greece, demonstrates once again that he is really, really good comedy. The film will be the first to use Hamm, which shows that if you take the Don Draper and let it fall to the 21 century, just another sleazebag with a sports car.
Melissa McCarthy, Mike and Molly, steals several scenes as maid of honor, which is like a female version of the character Zach Galifianakis' hangover. Ellie Kemper (Erin from The Office) and Wendi McLendon-Covey has some good scenes together as two of the other bridesmaids, while Jill Clayburgh, in his last role, is hilarious as the mother of Wiig.
Of course, comedy is a bit awkward and draggy around the 90 minute mark, and just over two hours, the film feels very long for a Hollywood comedy. But, my God, this film is a treat and as good as bet as any to emerge as the classic comedy of 2011.
Why Katherine Heigl will go to the front of four films a year, while Wiig is one, if you're lucky? This relationship should be reversed immediately.
