Bridesmaids (2011)

The movie won't change your life or grab a fistful of Oscar nominations come next winter. But it will make you laugh, hard and often, and it proves that sometimes girls just want to have fun.

The Wrap

Top Critic

An effortless blend of bad taste and good humour with a wholly believable, often very touching emotional core, all centred around one of the finest star-making comic performances in recent memory.

The movie is uneven and lurching, but it provides many laughs.

Bridesmaids is a stiletto-sharp, raunchy, no-holds-barred yuk-fest that stands as a worthy female counterpart to the likes of Wedding Crashers and The Hangover.

Wiig has terrific audience rapport, a prerequisite for comics, and a squiggly way of seeming totally reasonable and altogether daft at the same time.

The only question is: Will Kristen Wiig ever be this good again? The answer is, let's hope so. Bridesmaids rocks. Hopefully, a movie star is born.

Bridesmaids is a reminder that fresh content is still alive and well, especially when it's delivered by a group of talented actresses.

This is "Her Hangover," a smarter and sweeter stumble to the altar that never quite gets to Vegas, and doesn't seem to mind.

There's a full spectrum of emotions on show: how many comedies with a gag involving projectile vomit and diarrhoea can say that?

The chemistry between real-life best friends Wiig and Maya Rudolph is palpable, bringing a refreshing authenticity that is preferable to bromantic camaraderie.

El humor de Damas en guerra se parece por momentos al de la comedia masculina más guarra, escatología incluida, aunque también hay lugar para los sentimientos y hasta el romanticismo.

It shows the dark side of people to a surprising extent for a comedy. It isn't exactly a black comedy or a dark comedy, but it does explore the way that friends can sometimes become jealous and sabotage each other.

Laramie Movie Scope

Kristen Wiig, between her screenplay and fearlessly funny performance, gives nothing less than a tour de force.

Bridesmaids is a very funny movie, with interesting characters and great performances, but the film's pacing issues make it more of a chore to get through than expected.

I like that Bridesmaids aspires to be more than just a dumb comedy, but that doesn't mean it needs to belabor its point for what feels like eons.

Film and Felt

Paul Feig's Bridesmaids ends up living in the memory like most weddings do; you went, you had a pleasant time, and unless somebody mentions the happy couple, you never think about the experience again.

I laughed almost without pause; at several points I made horselike snorting sounds that hurt the insides of my nose.

Whether it says something incisive about female friends and their inability to truly feel comfortable and rise above petty jealousies and competition, Bridesmaids never achieves the wolf pack camaraderie that The Hangover executes so naturally.

There are things to like here and the idea is a noble one. But in execution, "Bridesmaids" is a typical chick flick just with some extra rude words and vomit.

At 125 minutes, 'Bridesmaids' is long for a comedy, but it earns its running time by fully developing its characters and their relationships ...

... a girl-bonding romp filled equally with outlandish bridal showers and alcohol-fueled slapstick aggression, grand romantic gestures and furtive sex, high couture and low blows.

Typical extras, yes, but Bridesmaids is a strong transfer of an unusually humane American comedy that's well worth owning.
