“Here Come The Bridesmaids”
Although it’s Maya Rudolph who’s getting married, Kristen Wiig and Rose Byrne steal the spotlight as feuding bridesmaids each trying to top each other in their arrangements for the girls’ pre-wedding events. From producer Judd Apatow who has been responsible for raising the bar on raunchy comedy since his 2007 hit “Knocked Up”, here’s a film that lets the women get raunchy for a change. That twist of getting sex jokes from the female point of view is actually a fresh and funny approach to movies like this.
Director Paul Feig is having so much fun with this material, he allows his film to run past the 2-hour mark which is unusual for a comedy these days. But with so many laugh-out-loud moments, the length can be forgiven, even with some unorginial and unfunny bathroom humor thrown in here and there.
