What to Know

Critics Consensus

A marriage of genuine characters, gross out gags, and pathos, Bridesmaids is a female-driven comedy that refuses to be boxed in as Kristen Wiig emerges as a real star.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Sure, it neatly avoids a lot of the fluff found in many chick flicks and replaces it with crass shenanigans, but it adds touching moments when they're needed most, providing for a smart, less clichéd comedy. Rated: B Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Through a combination of smart performances and scurrilous gags Bridesmaids yanks the buddy comedy from the hands of its traditional owners. Rated: 4/5 Jun 30, 2015 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) The big, brash laughs are coupled with a smart insight into women's friendships. Rated: 4/5 Jun 30, 2015 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Every lady who has ever been a bride, a bridesmaid, or a maid of honor should see this. You will either laugh at the moments that remind of your own wedding party or laugh thankfully that none of these characters were anyone of you or someone else. Rated: 4/5 Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The movie doesn’t treat its female characters as exceptions to the absurd comedic rule that women aren’t funny, but for moviegoers devoted to that archaic idea, it will certainly prove them wrong. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Unforgivable two hours and a half. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Delana T One of the best comedies EVER made! This movie always brings my spirits up. No matter how many times I watch it I always burst out laughing. Incredible film 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review florencia L Well, It is a little bit heartbreaking to spend 2hours processing the only message of this movie: women want to be married, and having a husband is the aim of their life. It is a bit pathetic overall and has little to relate to or identify with, as for the performances and the storyline. The direction is okay, sort of, for the classic American recipe type, but I'd seen far better ones, I am afraid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review karina h This will for ever bee my number one Chik flick Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Teresa L This was one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen. All I can attribute this disappointment of a "comedy" to is very poor script writers as all of the actors are fantastic. None of the comedy rises above the level of teen boy level and none of it is even remotely amusing. Several of the scenes were difficult to watch as they just made you cringe. I only gave it 2 stars because of the gals acting ability. How they ever committed to making this sad piece of garbage is beyond my comprehension. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Mate P Bridesmaids is a funny movie with likeable, but not reasonable character journeys. The story is enjoyable, but predictable. The same could be said about the character arcs. They were fairly predictable, with one exception. I thought she was going to be blamed for everything, but instead she had a redemption. My favourite character is Megan, who's hilarious the story of her is also very funny. The cinematography was good, there were a few beautiful shots, the editing was great, the pacing was perfect. The production design was great, especially in the wedding scenes. Even though the film is enjoyable, it has flaws. The character arcs are mostly predictable and not well-written. Braidsmaids is a fun watch and an enjoyable with fun characters, but nothing extraordinary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review William B It wasn't my thing but I'm not the target audiance and I accept that. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
