Plots(1)
Kristen Wiig leads the cast 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. Annie’s life is a mess. But when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged, she simply must serve as Lillian’s maid of honor. Though lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it perfect, she’ll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far you’ll go for someone you love. (official distributor synopsis)

I watched Bridesmaids mainly because I was surprised by Melissa McCarthy's Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress (and the screenplay nomination as well). This certainly doesn't happen with American comedies these days, so I thought it must be something special. And the result?! Well, the R rating is indeed appropriate here, because if a smaller child had seen some of the scenes, they might not have recovered. I don't mind strong language in films, so I had no problem with the content of the script, but I don't think it's worthy of an Oscar (or even a nomination). Neither is Melissa McCarthy, her character works great, and she amused (and disgusted) me the most out of the entire ensemble, but it's just not anything particularly above average. All in all, a solid American comedy and a bunch of desperate women planning a wedding, which doesn't come without some of the slightest disaster.

Fair and incorrect humor involving a newly formed group of friends, who aren’t actually such great friends in reality. Fair in the sense that somebody finally showed us that not only men have their days, but that this afflicts women as well and when the star consellations align in the ideal manner, they can surprise you with a number of situations which they certainly don’t need to feel ashamed of. Fine by me. I took me a while to get used to them girls, but Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne eventually convinced me that Bridesmaids is a well-made politically incorrect comedy.

This title can be discouraging for a guy, especially the Czech title, but even the male generation should not be discouraged. Besides seeing how women can be bitches, what wars they can lead, how crazy they can be, we also watch a good comedy that may not keep you on the edge of your seat every minute, but you will have a good time with it. Because unlike many other works, it does not lack a strong story. This is something it has in common with the movie "Kopačky". "Women Only" is actually about how one of the six friends is getting married. But it's not really about that so much. What got me is the fact that it's mainly about people, their stories, and that even this unique event can be a catalyst for hatred. Annie has the main role in this, and she definitely is not a positive character, but you may even hate her. Annie is simply crazy and she is the one who ruins everything. But in the end, friendship fixes everything. I know it sounds pathetic, but it is presented tastefully in the movie. I also like the film because Chris O'Dowd, aka Roy from "The IT Crowd," appears in it. Melissa McCarthy also draws a lot of attention and she is a revelation. She is vulgar, disgusting, bold, and great. Deserving of an Oscar nomination. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/04/diar-milovnika-filmu-c-0002-zajimave.html

An excellent comedy with a sharp humour and a great bunch of characters, which is only brought down by its exorbitant 120-minute running time and the fact that while the first half is a loaded ride with some pretty iconic and extremely funny scenes, the second half takes the foot off the throttle a bit and rides more on the dramatic wave. Despite this, I still feel that I probably haven't seen a better comedy in years, I had a great time with this type of humour and as for the actresses, you couldn't find a funnier bunch of birds either. Great stuff!

An average comedy about above-average swashbuckling women. The first hour really wasn't that great, but the second part of the film and a few really excellent scenes (the one on the plane and Annie breaking the law in the car) saved the film overall. The fault, however, I see in the uninteresting script and the cast. I would have completely cut the sentimental scenes involving Annie's pie shop and the initial toast to the bride.
