Bridesmaids: Blu Ray Review
Bridesmaids
Rating: R16
Released by Universal Home Ent
In one of the comedies of the year, Kristen Wiig plays Annie,
lifelong friend to Maya Rudolph's Lillian. Annie's a bit of a self saboteur; her
bakery business went down the drains and she's got low self esteem from one
night stands with Jon Hamm's sleazy Ted.
She's not
heading anywhere fast - and when Lillian reveals she's getting married, Annie's
given the role of maid of honour.
However, as she
begins to plan the wedding, she runs into the social circle of Lillian's
friends; one of whom, Helen (Rose Byrne) becomes her nemesis.
So a rivalry is formed - and despite Annie's best attempts, the
disagreements and resentment threaten her place in her best friend's wedding...
Bridesmaids is the best kind of R rated film -
raucously funny and really rude in places.
From
producer Judd Apatow, you'd be expecting something a little close to the edge -
but what actually transpires is probably one of the best examples of an all
female led frat pack.
There's a series of set
pieces here; an awful dinner which leads to a wedding fitting which ends in the
worst possible way; a trip to Vegas that sees the girls thrown off the plane;
it's some pretty funny stuff - and in a very unexpected way.
It's actually great entertainment for both male and female audiences
which is somewhat of a pleasant surprise.
Extras:
Bonus features includes gag reels, extended version, commentary and alternate
and extended scenes
Rating: 8/10
