What a mess. Totally awful, terrible, bad writing for the most part. The main characters had awful lines, the whole thing was 100% utterly predictable, and the smaller characters (Megan, Ted), had MUCH better lines/parts. I had expected good things out of this film, after hearing so many good reviews, but not even 10 minutes into it, we were considering shutting it off and watching "The Hangover" (which was watched afterward, to clear our heads of the trash we had just finished watching).
Maya Rudolph is not a good actress, Kristen Wiig is just annoying in her role, and even the smaller roles that are better written and played by big names/familiar faces, do NOT in any way save this film. Melissa McCarthy does a fantastic job with her role, and Jon Hamm is also pretty good. Chris O'Dowd, I did like, but again, a smaller part and the main character's love interest. The random, and few, funny bits of this movie were mostly funny an in awkward-I-can't-believe-they-just-did-that fashion.
Really, no one should waste their time watching this. Just watch "The Hangover" if you want a good pre-wedding comedy. "Bridesmaids" doesn't come close to being even a fraction as good. And yet, it was called the female version of "The Hangover"?? On what planet would this ever be true? The two are nothing alike, and "Bridesmaids" really just spends a lot of time slamming men and their sex organs, and making women look like crazy bitches.
