This week we are talking about the movie Bridesmaids starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Rose Byrne. Bridesmaids was written partly by Kristen Wiig (SNL) and directed by Paul Feig (The Office, Parks and Rec). It was one of the best comedies of 2011 and broke major ground for female led casts. 

Annie and Lillian are childhood friends who's relationship begins to unravel after Lillian gets engaged and meets Helen. Helen immediately begins to undermine Annie and Lillian's friendship by throwing lavish parties and get togethers. Annie who has already lost her business loses her current job and begins losing her best friend. 

The pure gold of Bridesmaids is the comedy writing and performances by the main cast including Rose Byrne, Wendy McClendon-Covey (Goldbergs), Ellie Kemper (The Office), and Melissa McCarthy as well as smaller roles by Rebel Wilson and Jon Hamm. Although there exists a dramatic-tinge to the story, it is overshadowed by the comedy, in a good way. Enjoy!
