Bridesmaids - 伴娘
Bridesmaids (伴娘) is an 2011 film. The film mainly stars Kristen Wiig. With a huge supporting cast of Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy, and Chris O'Dowd. The movie was based in the Milwaukee and Chicago area.
Kristen Wiig plays Annie Walker, a woman going through a rough patch. Annie's bakery failed a few years back and has had a real run of bad luck in life. Annie's bestfriend is recently engaged and Annie's the maid of honor. Hijinx follow. Seriously, hijinx follow. That's about all you need to know.
Is this a chick flick? Heck yeah. It does take the "gross out" humor of the last 7-8 years to true form to a predominantly female cast. If you're a fan of the Apatow movies like Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin, this is right up your alley. Labeled as "Hangover" for gals, this movie may have lived up to the hype. I found myself laughing and cringing for much of the movie.
