Review Tuesday: BRIDESMAIDS

Last year I heard nothing but praise about how funny the movie BRIDESMAIDS was, how brilliant Kristen Wiig was, and why hadn't I seen it yet?

With high praise like that, I finally made it my mission to watch it, and did with Mrs. Bax0jayz for New Year's, while in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

When Lillian (Maya Rudolph) asks her life-long friend Annie (Kristen Wiig) to be the maid of honor at her wedding, jealousy breaks out then all sorts of mayhem ensues which jeopardizes friendships and even the wedding!

This is a movie that shows how complex (and funny) female relationships can be, especially at such a crucial time as a wedding. Helen (Rose Byrne) is the future sister-in-law and goes berserk trying to out-do Annie in every way. The rivalry strains the entire wedding party and everything starts going down the drain.

It's all very clever and entertaining to watch. I think the biggest problem I had with this movie was the EXPECTATIONS. It happened again! I had a long line of people tell me how hilarious this movie was, and to me, it didn't live up to the hype. It was a fun movie, and entertaining, but it didn't live up to the high praise everyone had given it. At least to me.

Still funny. Still worth watching.
