I've been wanting to see this movie since it came out in theaters for one main reason: Kristen Wiig. Who doesn't love this girl? She's phenomenal. I had high expectations for her and she blew me away as always. She is, in short, a comedic genius.
This is not to say that the other members did not help; it is only to say that Wiig is the only reason I wanted to watch it.
I will admit that the initial scene made me slightly uncomfortable and grateful that my mother wasn't watching it with me, but I made it through to the meat of the movie and found it quite enjoyable.
It was clever. It was witty. It was exactly what I needed while writing my thesis: a reminder that there is joy in the world even though I can't find it at the moment.I did, however, remind me quite a bit of Bride Wars. And, honestly, I prefer Bride Wars. I mean, it's Anne Hathaway. The girl who brought my book self, Mia Thermopolis, to life. More than that, she is going to be Catwoman. Do I really need anymore evidence than that?
One final note: This is not The Hangover for women. There is no comparison. Also, Revenge of the Bridesmaids is also pretty fun, but not near as fun as Bridesmaid.
