Bridesmaids - Two for one... would have preferred one.

Bridesmaids is a film about a young lady who is down on her luck and is asked to be the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding. Trouble ensues when a new friend of the bride begins competing for the brides attention.

Although this movie is extremely funny it is lacking in the blending of story elements to make it a cohesive piece. Basically I felt that I was watching two different movies at the same time. One being the story of Annie, played by Kristen Wiig, being able to move forward with her professional and romantic life after having had a bad experience with both. The other is her trying to compete for her best friend's attention while attempting to plan all the events leading up to the wedding. Frankly I would have preferred that the movie focused only on the latter.

All the sections of the film that were about her dealing with her self-pity and her love life were extremely boring. This is not because they were done in a bad way but when paired up with the hilarious scenes of wedding planning they seemed slow and dreary.

Special note goes to Melissa McCarthy who pretty much steals the movie with her portrayal of an unapologetic, blunt, sometimes gross but always funny lady. This is quite a remarkable feet considering she was up against Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph (two SNL heavyweight) who's characters seemed tamed in comparison.

All in all the movie is okay. Had it focused more on the comedy and less on the drama I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

But like I always say check it out for yourself and form your own opinion then tell me what you think.
