Stars	User	Rating
6	KasperL	80 _86th
Wiig is great, carrying this (someone hit me) dramady with her comedic timing and ability to express her vulnerability. The bodily fluids scene aside, Feig's humour uses painful awkwardness, Jody Hill-style, with believability added to the point where you crave (rather than roll your eyes at) the sweet romance. Wiig and O'Dowd are cute, McCarthy hilarious and this does little to cure me of my Rose Byrne infatuation. Ranks with '40-Year-Old Virgin' and 'Superbad' as one of the Apatow Crew's best.
5	frederic_g54	7 _57th
Well, it definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of raunchiness and humor, transcending its limitations that might have been set by its unfortunate title. All members of its versatile cast have their moment to shine but Wiig comes out on top with her genuine interaction and astute comedic delivery. I really hope people don't give this one a pass because it's called "Bridesmaids", they'd be missing on some hilarious shit.
4	filmfreak88	60 _40th
I must say I am disappointed. It has several hilarious gags with long stretches of somewhat dull scenes of Annie's downward spiral into self-pity that is only tolerable because of Wiig's adorableness. Still worth watching for the good parts.
3	Kojiless	74 _79th
Coitus-craving housewife who wants to murder her loinfruit? Check. Bubbly ditz who says everything she is thinking without thinking about anything she's saying? Check. Ample effort spent on fleshing out these characters instead of packing the celluloid with cupcake-baking montages (yes, plural)? No. Oh well, at least it featured a pair of rabid raccoons and a, shall we say, "mature" Wilson Phillips...or was it a pair of mature raccoons and a rabid Wilson Phillips...? Too...drunk... to....tell...
3	HunterKing	76 _40th
It's a slow starter, its plot is standard comedy fare, and the editing keeps the comedy from hitting with the punch it deserves, but Kristen Wiig keeps it afloat; she's lovable, full of character, and believably flawed. On another note: If they were trying to break out with a female-lead bro-comedy-styled movie acceptable across all genders (which it does pretty well) they should have shied away from the penis-shrinking theme of Weddings.
3	CinematicESP	95 _96th
Kristen Wiig finally gets the leading role she deserves and excels, while the ensemble around her is equally strong, particularly Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy. Films that come out of the Apatow Company are usually always funny, but it's the ones with heart that are truly memorable. Even so, I was still laughing out loud more than usual. This may be one of, if not the best of them all.
2	IcyBrian	91 _90th
One of the funniest movies in a long time. Don't make the mistake of thinking this is a chick flick just because the stars are women. It's a good, hilarious movie no matter your gender. Great performances all around, but Melissa McCarthy steals the show.
2	PeaceAnarchy	81 _64th
Consistently funny, but never hilarious. Even if it follows some common tropes it's distinctly different from both typical romantic comedies and male buddy comedies, and for that semblance of originality I give it credit.
2	td888	60 _58th
Women are weird.
2	msprague	75 _73rd
Very funny comedy interrupted by some too sad moments that but for poop jokes would have really bummed the audience out. Worth seeing.
2	KMcNeil	8 _84th
"This is so awkward. I really want you to leave, but I don't know how to say it without sounding like a dick."
2	Langelund (CinemaZone.dk)	75 _77th
Best wedding comedy since 'Wedding Crashers' and the most formularic fun you'll have all year. If this is the new bar for chick flicks, sign me up for some more (or just anything starring Melissa McCarthy)
2	Melvin Smif	60 _65th
Really wish there was more focus on the entire group of bridesmaids. They all worked so well with each other. The more it began to shift towards traditional rom-com crap, the less interested I got in the film. Some very funny stuff though.
2	omgfridge	5 _43rd
Has a few geniune laughs. Wiig is fantastic and carried every scene she was in. While the rest of the cast is hit or miss. Ends up being about half and half. Some scenes/events seemed over the top yet overall it was a fairly light hearted easy film to watch.
2	Paxton	64 _42nd
It's the heart breaking story of a girl that has to learn to grow up a little. I find it a little insulting that this movie is up for an Academy Award for Screenplay. Was Anchorman nominated? Was The 40 Year Old Virgin nominated? Was Superbad nominated? All of those are better comedies. But, but, but girls wrote this one. Isn't that in itself sexist. If a woman does something a man does than it's better because they're inferi....whoa! Slow it down there Academy.
2	Pumpernikiel	30 _1st
Getting an Oscar nomination for defecating in a sink is weird, isn't it?
2	Quintonjamin	70 _66th
Wiig is very funny throughout, but there are a few gags that go on for too long.
1	wayofthegun	80 _66th
Very funny Judd Apatow movie for the ladies, but one at which the guys can still laugh. The laughs do get sort of sparse towards the end and there seems to be too much melodrama that just didn't mesh with the rest of the movie, but overall a great comedy.
1	Kavu	59 _30th
At times it's very funny and the drama works somewhat well, but lots of the time it's painfully unfunny.
1	BattleToad	60 _23rd
Maybe I'm not the target audience for this "galmance" version of The Hangover, but whether that's the case or not, I feel like the star of Bridesmaids, the magnificent Kristin Wiig, just isn't that versatile when it comes to acting, and she's the best this flick had to offer. She's a brilliant comedienne, and this movie had some true gut-busters, but the bottom line is there just wasn't any meat to the thing. Going from gag to gag became tiresome. Weak!
1	cagedwisdom	75 _65th
In full this is so enjoyable and genuinely charming that I honestly cannot remember the little things that annoyed me along the way, even though I remember there were some. Don't mistake this for a simple Hangover-for-chicks-flick, Bridesmaids is it's own thing, and it is well-crafted. Chris O'Dowd is genius casting and Melissa McCarthy turns in the most genuinely hilarious female performance of all time. Hollywood, I'll have a second course of Kristen Wiig please.
1	bizort	74 _63rd
Much better than I expected, even though it's entirely too long
1	easydiff	62 _63rd
Wiig is so hateable, which is what makes her funny.
1	cowfrappe	83 _93rd
A hilarious new type of comedy that should have been possible years ago. Perfectly cast, and extremely well acted, this movie will become a benchmark for comedy in the future.
1	mlightle3	95 _91st
Don't call it a chick flick, just call it a comedy. Women everywhere should enjoy a protagonist who doesn't have a perfect job and a beautiful, inexplicably well dressed apartment. She drives a shitty car, her mom is an idiot, and she bends over backwards to keep banging a pretty-boy asshole. That sounds like a lot of women I know.
1	Difontaine	70 _54th
Here's the thing: whilst I can appreciate the writing and performance that goes into a comedy, if you don't laugh you don't laugh. It's not unfunny and there are some great set-pieces. However, I found Annie story sad and depressing, which blotted the humour. Give it a try, comedy is subjective after all. Also, Roy from the IT crowd is in this. I found that hilarious.
1	caiman	78 _56th
Fairly well-written, often funny. It didn't insult my intelligence on as many occasions as most comedies of its sort, and the cast was entertaining all around. Nothing revolutionary, but definitely above average.
1	Tripwyre	76 _70th
A bit more of a traditional rom-com than what the Apatow Company usually churns out, but then again it's far more filthy than the forgettable fare usually aimed at women. The cast is great on all fronts, and hopefully the runaway success of this film prompts Wiig to leave SNL sooner rather than later. While it eventually follows the well-worn rom-com trail, it earns its cutesy moments through real heartfelt scenes and some well-played drama. Chris O'Dowd is just awesome. Needs more Ellie Kemper.
1	WoozyB	85 _73rd
Pretty effin funny. Some scenes went a little too long and it strayed into rom-com territory a few too many times, but damned if I didn't laugh at it harder than say The Hangover or Hot Tub Time Machine. Bring on the new wave of female comedians, I say.
1	sebby	60 _45th
Kristen Wiig continues to be awesome. The movie is funny in spurts, but it honestly can't really stand on its own as a filmic entity. If you watch the highlight reel on Youtube, you get pretty much the entire value of the film in one fell swoop.
1	sophie	75 _68th
Kristen Wiig is great, loved Melissa McCarthy - definitely has some very funny scenes and is overall very enjoyable
1	Timon88	75 _74th
Pretty funny, actually. It deserves to be solidly in Tier 7 for the food poisoning scene alone.
1	dst7175	50 _37th
It was pretty funny at first. When she was shitting in the street but then it got so depressing and kind of boring.
1	Zealot185	65 _46th
Although it sounds awfully lazy and crude to throw a cast of women into absurd situations involving sex, drugs, body waste, and reckless driving, it certainly got me howling. Wiig's best-friendship is genuine, and I'm glad the film acknowledges that she was a bitch, but her redemption should've been as extreme as the situations that got her to rock bottom in order for me to buy it. This could have been cemented as a new respectable type of chick flick, but the third act falls into tropeville.
1	chemical404	49 _36th
It's like Sex&The City for men. And by that I mean characters are shallow, boring, stereotypes, PLUS it has as much shit, vomit and sex jokes as you could possibly want. Only small portion of this film could be described as 'chick-flick', but that's the part I found worthwhile. Wiig is very likeable. Some actual jokes (not involving bodily fluids) were alright, so yea, it's watchable. I hope women actually doesn't relate to this film in any way...
1	moraesfelipe	84 _90th
The best comedy of 2011 is pure joy. The cast is absolutely amazing and provides everything we need from each character, but the real star here is the actress/screenwriter Kristen Wiig -- and not Judd Apatow. This is probably the greatest female buddy movie ever made.
1	RealMacgyver	80 _78th
While I didn't really laugh laugh at this, I found it to be a well balanced comedy. More humorous and hilarious Wiig gave a great performance and Chris O'Dowd was a fantastic male lead (as close as you get in this anyway). All the characters and performances were realistic. And most importantly it didn't suck, which generally happens with wedding themed comedies (see: 27 Dresses which is awful)
1	Raian-kun	56 _26th
Unbelievably overrated. It has a few scenes that are memorably hysterical and well done, especially the whole plane sequence, which is the highlight of the film, but the wild swings into depressingly serious territory, the unfunny gross-out humor, and the whole way the film is stitched together render it very disjointed and painfully average overall.
1	tef	85 _75th
A character driven comedy with many hilarious moments.
1	the e	87 _61st
GOOD: funny, good chemistry w/ most girls, not always hollywood plot endings ; BAD: Sometimes gross out humor too gross, "virgin" and "slutty" girls unnecessary
1	canadianor	80 _70th
I'm the last person to criticize somebody for enjoying a chick-flick. If a movie is good, I'll watch it regardless of the intended audience. With that said, 'Bridesmaids' is pretty far from a chick-flick. The topic and the cast may have you thinking otherwise, but nobody falls down in this movie just to pop back up and shout "I'm okay!" Instead, they poop. There is a love story with a predictable formula, but it's pretty much there to keep Annie moving forward, rather than getting her hitched.
1	ABUNCHOFCATS	85 _68th
A solid cast and a hilarious script elevate this above most of the recent Apatow works and other recent frat pack comedies that makes this one of the best comedies in awhileimdb. I didn't expect to be as impressed by this movie as I was but here it is.
1	mfidler1	78 _62nd
Some parts really funny but otherwise fails to rise to the level that it could have gone in terms of story and laughs.
1	mlpgaffney	92 _87th
Very funny, though it does drag some scenes out far past the "uncomfortably-awkward-yet-funny" zone into the "okay-let-this-end" zone. Not as ribald and over the top as The Hangover, but it has much more emotional depth. Definitely worth watching.
1	SirStuckey	80 _78th
Very funny. There aren't a lot of quality comedies written for women. Either they give them some crappy rom coms that are incredibly cliched or they make them secondary characters to the men. Bridesmaids is consistently funny for both sexes. All the women are funny (especially Wiig and McCarthy), and it's nice to see a movie let the women do some of the gross out humor. Scene during the end credits may be the funniest in the whole movie.
1	aney	39 _38th
Kind of dull. A few gags were funny, but that was it. I was very disappointed. But Chris O' Dowd is freaking awesome.
1	Okkervil	62 _56th
Has a good spread of laughs, & is carried brilliantly by the supurb Wiig, who on her own earns this movie most of its marks. There is a distinct lack of purpose, with sub-plots forgotten about, & focus on the bridemaids group dynamic sadly drifting towards average rom-com fare towards the end. McCartney essentially plays a female Galifianakis, which worked well enough! It was refreshing to see a female driven comedy that didn't fall into & play on all the same old marketing stereotypes & gags.
1	Bown	79 _52nd
Whoa, I forgot to rate this! It was good! Funny and well-written and had a lot of actresses I like. The raunchy humour was very well-done, and Kristen Wiig shows some surprisingly decent acting chops.
1	Frosty	50 _26th
Being massively over rated by the critics. It is ok, not exceeding the standard Apatow fare but not falling too far below it.
1	Nolan	4 _13th
I cannot think of a movie where I gave less of a shit about the characters. I do not understand why critics love this so much.
1	SirRobbie	50 _8th
I love Wiig and Rudolph but this was weak.
1	Iustae	53 _19th
nyam nyam nyam nyam BEER nyam nyam nyam nyam nyam
1	calinki	60 _17th
hangover for chicks
1	Telemecus	9 _4th
A bad version of Sex and the City?
1	Rufam	70 _57th
I was in for an average chick-flick, but "Briedsmaids" defies easy labeling -in fact, it is more like the female equivalent to "The Hangover", with outrageous gross-out gags and fun characters. Although the humor is uneven, when it works, it can become truly hilarious, as Wiig emerges as a talented comedienne. She actually made me care enough for her character that I didn't even mind the typical corny stuff they failed to avoid (including life-advancing baking and a carrot-loving Irish cop).
1	botski	85 _69th
Some of the scenes were absolutely gut busting hilarious. Kristen Wiig is one of my favorite comedians and she did not disappooint!
1	doughbaron	72 _53rd
This comedy has hilarious highs with long and tedious lows.
1	Superargo	74 _73rd
These women are shallow, flaky, and self-involved creatures. They also puke on each other's heads, poop in the street, and absolutely lose their frigging minds after just the slightest sip of alcohol. The movie's predictable as all hell, but it's actually not that bad. It's got more heart than you might expect, and as far as raunchy comedies go, there's a lot more cartoonish, annoying stuff out there. So, yeah, it's fine. Wiig's got plenty of big screen leading lady appeal.
1	Phlegmboyant	64 _46th
60 of the points go to kristen wiig. the 4 other points can be fought out by mccarthy, rudolph and o'dowd. everyone else gets nothing.
1	GreatScott85	92 _80th
A hilarious female-driven comedy with honest human characters that not only blows away anything made in the romantic comedy genre over the past decade or so, but also ranks as one of the best Apatow productions to date.
1	lena_c	2 _17th
I had an idea that I would laugh more - all I did was laughing while cringing my toes. I found the story cute as any other chick-flick, and I don't mind a little "crazy" funny, but when it escalates I lose interest... Side note: Rebel Wilson is just annoying. *Okay
1	BlumpkinSoup	85 _92nd
Not a chick flick. At all.
1	Leonardis	84 _47th
Pretty raunchy and funny movie, with some good writing and characters. Definitely a showcase for Kristen Wiig, and probably the best performances from Byrne and McCarthy. It's an all-girl cast but I can see it appealing to everyone. Solid comedy and drama that just works really well.
1	fletch_lives	5 _0th
This is the first movie that i have ever felt less inteligent after having watched it. The fact that this movie did so well at the box office and that so many people really liked it is a sad social commentary on the world of today. Has everyone become self involved rich people who think hitting rock bottom is having a fight with their friend and moving back to their parents. Overall the movie had almost a chuckle at best and was only a mind numbing degradation of society
1	Gnalkhere	50 _12th
I forgot to rate this, primarily because barely anything stuck to me, except Chris O'Dowd and Tim Heidecker is the husband
1	myfavchords	79 _75th
This is a funny movie with a good ensemble cast. Melissa McCarthy steals the movie and Kristen Wiig is very funny.
1	eCitizen	91 _90th
I just loved Kristen Wiig role and also loved her story as well. The movie has some truly hilarious moments. I laughed a bunch of times. The story keeps you engaged to the end, and is fun and feels real throughout. There were some absolutely priceless moments that are quite memorable. Great cast, great story, good film making. I would really like to see more movies from Kristen Wiig's writting.
1	3dRevelation	77 _73rd
I thought this was pretty funny. McCarthy is a blast and Wiig is pretty funny also. Definitely funnier than I thought it would be.
1	adouble	82 _69th
It's maybe not quite the revolutionary film that some tried to claim when it came out, but it's undoubtedly a great comedy. The effort put in to developing all the characters is what sets it apart from most movies like it. Wiig excels in the lead role, nailing the comedy just as much as she does the dramatic parts. The breakout star is Melissa McCarthy, and for good reason. She's hillarious, and dominates every second she's on screen.
1	philamental	22 _2nd
I'm clearly not the target audience for this. I didn't laugh, I didn't smile, I didn't care for the characters and started to play with my dogs on the couch while my wife continued watching by the end. I'm not going to get in to the 'women can/cant be funny' debate other than to say this comedy, full of these women, with this script ... isn't funny to me.
