Another is a naive, wide-eyed newlywed (of course, these two are paired up for an in-depth heart to heart later in the film). The driving story is Annie's attempts to stay in control of the pre-wedding festivities while Helen tries to be 'helpful' - while undermining Annie's plans.ДЄlong for the ride are a group of ladies that each have their own personality quirks and issues - one is a frustrated mother and wife who describes her foul-mouthed, back-talking teenage boys in excruciating 'overshare' detail.

The fly in the ointment here is the very attractive, rich and poised Helen (Rose Byrne) who has taken the express route to being Lillian's new bestest friend ever. Annie is of course happy for her friend, but the situation only serves to highlight her own currently poor life situation. Lillian wants Annie to be her maid of honor, which includes planning the shower and bachelorette party. Meanwhile, Annie's best friend since childhood, Lillian (Maya Rudolph) has just gotten engaged. She tries mightily to rationalize the relationship but in her heart she knows the guy (John Hamm) is just a rich jerk and a user. She seems to be on a self-defeating path - attracted to men (well, in the movie, ONE man) who totally uses her just as a sex object. Bridesmaids is the story of Annie (Kristen Wiig), an attractive woman in her mid-30s who's been through a business failure and can't seem to find a man who will appreciate her and treat her right. Right from the opening line (which without a doubt tops any first line of dialog I've ever heard in a movie) it is clear what you're in for. That should be your first hint that Bridesmaids is most certainly not for everyone - but if you're a fan of really out there, vulgar Apatow-style comedies this movie should satisfy your funny bone big time. I've found a chick flick that I loved and my wife would no doubt hate.
