I got a chance to see BRIDESMAIDS a few weeks ago, and it’s definitely a funny experience. Seems like most are calling it THE HANGOVER for women, and that’s a good way to describe it. I actually hope to take it in again before it opens, as I have a feeling I missed a lot of the best jokes due to the audience laughter. Myspace (remember them?) has posted a red-band trailer, which you can see below, and IMPAwards has compiled six new character poster images, with some odd sizes on a few of them for some reason. Check those out as well.
This spring, producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Superbad) and director Paul Feig (creator of Freaks and Geeks) invite you to experience Bridesmaids. 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.
BRIDESMAIDS opens May 13
