2011 Movies: #14

#14 Bridesmaids

This movie was laugh-until-crying funny, painfully awkward and cringe-inducingly gross by turns, featuring characters you can't help but love (like Annie) and characters you love to hate (see: Helen - I despised Helen throughout much of the film). What's more, there are puppy party favors, and who doesn't like to see a basket of ribbon-bedecked puppies?

Bridesmaids does a good job of sending up some of the over-the-top drama that surrounds weddings while still genuinely examining what's at the heart of close female friendships. It's probably not one that I would be able to watch on repeat, just because of the multitude of disgusting things that take place, but there were definitely moments that I could - and likely will - view again and again.
