Bridesmaids Reviews
Every lady who has ever been a bride, a bridesmaid, or a maid of honor should see this. You will either laugh at the moments that remind of your own wedding party or laugh thankfully that none of these characters were anyone of you or someone else.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2024
The movie doesn’t treat its female characters as exceptions to the absurd comedic rule that women aren’t funny, but for moviegoers devoted to that archaic idea, it will certainly prove them wrong.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 7, 2023
Unforgivable two hours and a half. [Full review in Spanish]

The number of jokes, visual gags, clever line readings, and insane set pieces crammed into just 2 hours is astonishing.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 29, 2022
With laugh-out-loud displays of pettiness, pride and passive-aggression, the movie incisively examines the delicate dynamics of a female friendship group.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2021
Ten years later, Bridesmaids remains a cinematic classic and one of the best comedy movies of all time.

BRIDESMAIDS told a more complex story of female friendship, one that centered...well, female friendship, with men taking a secondary role.

Bridesmaids is a film for everyone and one that features some of the finest comedy set-pieces since Mary put spunk in her hair.

Wiig's work as the neurotic but mostly well meaning Annie is a breakthrough, proving that being funny and having feelings are not mutually exclusive.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 31, 2021
Once the dilemmas hit and the lead character begins her downward spiral, the joke-a-minute pacing from the introduction is lost.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Modestly flawed yet consistently funny.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020
I'm going to start with a time saver, with a two-word litmus test of whether or not "Bridesmaids" is for you. If you giggle, go see this. If you make a face like you smell something rancid, sit this one out. And these two words are...sink diarrhea.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 12, 2020
A tale of female anxiety deliriously and freakishly off the leash, it's as close to a perfect multiplex comedy as they come.

The film is probably about 20 minutes too long and not every gag plays as well as it should have. Still, I found myself laughing a lot during "Bridesmaids."

Bridesmaids is, in equal parts, bawdy and authentic, all the way through.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 8, 2019
It's a movie about women going berserk over a wedding. Easy non-feminist laughs are built right in there, and milked for all they're worth. No amount of sad female faces during lugubrious pop song interludes can make this more meaningful than it is.

Bridesmaids manages to take a seen-before storyline and turn it into something unpredictable, entertaining, and so completely wrong it feels right -- and very satisfying.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2018
Really unsatisfying, mostly because the script by Ms. Wiig and Annie Mumolo completely ignores the movie's major issue: class.
| Aug 9, 2018
Kristen Wiig has written a lead role for herself with some great awkward moments usually regulated for fools of the male variety. It's nice to see women can be just as boneheaded when the situation calls for it.
| Original Score: B+ | Jan 26, 2018
The director is sitcom vet Paul Feig but the auteur is star and co-writer Kristen Wiig, who takes center stage after displaying flashes of fuzzy brilliance.
