Kristen Wiig stars as Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and a group of colorful bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Can Annie keep her personal issues at bay while she tries to plan the perfect wedding?

From "Women Aren't Funny? That's a Laugh (Vancouver Sun)

The R-rated film stars Wiig, a gifted sketch actress who's one of the funniest people ever to grace the stage of "Saturday Night Live." She plays a woman who's a financial mess after a failed bakery venture and stuck in a self-esteem-sapping non-relationship when she's asked to be the maid of honor at the wedding of her best friend (Maya Rudolph, another standout "SNL" veteran).

Stressed out about paying for expensive pre-ceremony events and facing a snooty frenemy (Rose Byrne) for the bride's attention, Wiig wigs out in ways that are subtle and over-the-top, but always hilarious.

"Bridesmaids" has a big heart that never gets in the way of a racy joke. And the cast is downright amazing, from Wiig and Rudolph, who portray the most realistic girlfriends with a shared sense of humor ever, to bridesmaids Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey (of "Reno 911"), Ellie Kemper (the naive receptionist from "The Office") and the amazing Melissa McCarthy, who does a 180-degree turn from her sweet role on CBS' "Mike & Molly."
