Review of Bridesmaids (2011)

The movie is absolutely hilarious. I went in expecting a smart romantic comedy, at best, but in reality it's fantastic satire. The movie basically takes all the rituals leading up the wedding (and the wedding itself) and totally blows them all away. I got a hint of what's coming when the Maid of Honor and best friend (Kristen Wiig) and the new, rich best friend (Rose Byrne) try to one-up each other with the speeches at the engagement party. From that point on, it's one surprise after another. The best comedy, by far, this year.

9/10
