Plot
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (December 2011) |
Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a single woman in her mid 30s, living in Milwaukee. After her dream bakery, 'Cake Baby', fails, she loses all of her savings and begins working in a jewelry store. She also loses her boyfriend and enters into a sexual relationship with the self-absorbed Ted (Jon Hamm). When we meet her, her friendship with her childhood best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is her only source of happiness.
When Lillian becomes engaged to her boyfriend, Doug (Tim Heidecker), she asks Annie to be her maid of honor with Lillian's co-worker Becca (Ellie Kemper) and cynical cousin Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Doug's sister Megan (Melissa McCarthy), and Helen (Rose Byrne)—the "perfect" wife of Doug's boss—as the fellow bridesmaids. Helen and Annie are immediately jealous of one another and try to upstage each other in tribute and song. On the way home, Annie is pulled over by Officer Nathan Rhodes (Chris O'Dowd) for having broken taillights. The two flirt, and he lets her off with a warning after discovering that she was the owner of Cake Baby, whose tasty cakes he always enjoyed.
Annie's attempts to serve as the maid of honor go abysmally wrong after she takes them to a seedy part of town for rodízio at a Brazilian churrascaria that will later give everyone violent food poisoning. Meanwhile, Helen, with her wealth and connections, constantly upstages Annie: rejecting Annie's idea of a Parisian bridal shower, getting them access to a chic bridal-gown studio after Annie failed to make a reservation, and ordering expensive designer bridesmaids gowns for the group that are beyond Annie's means; at this time the food poisoning plays out—with everyone except Helen and Annie suddenly throwing up or having bowel movements—culminating with Lillian "shitting in the street" while wearing a wedding dress. Worried about her limited finances, Annie suggests a bachelorette party at Lillian's parents' lake house. Helen overrules her and books a trip to Las Vegas. Annie refuses to allow Helen to buy a first-class ticket for her and sits in economy class. Because Annie is afraid of flying, Helen gives her sedatives and alcohol, causing Annie to become inebriated and paranoid, and her outbursts force the plane to land in Casper, Wyoming, where the wedding party is escorted off the plane by Federal Air Marshal John (Ben Falcone)—canceling the Las Vegas bachelorette party. On the bus trip back to Milwaukee, Annie tries to apologize but Lillian quietly states that she wants Helen to take over planning the shower and wedding.
Distraught, Annie contacts Nathan and the two hang out while she discusses her difficulties. Nathan is sympathetic and encourages her to open a new bakery, but Annie refuses; her business failure was so painful that she has given up baking entirely. After spending the night with her, Nathan buys baking supplies, hoping to reignite her dream. This makes her uncomfortable and she abruptly leaves, breaking things off with him despite liking him. She is then fired from her job for lashing out at a teenaged customer and evicted from her apartment by her roommates. With nowhere else to go, and her friendship with Lillian strained, she moves back in with her mother (Jill Clayburgh).
Attending the bridal shower, Annie discovers that Helen has created an elaborate version of Annie's Parisian theme, later upstaging Annie's heartfelt, handmade gift by giving Lillian a trip to Paris. Annie snaps and throws a tantrum, destroying the decorations and food. Lillian kicks her out of the shower and disinvites her from the wedding. On the way home, Annie's unfixed taillights cause a crash and she is stranded. Nathan answers the emergency call, exasperated that she still has not fixed her taillights, and tells Annie how much she hurt him and instructs her not to contact him again. Annie calls Ted for a ride, but when he expects sexual favors in exchange, she dumps him and walks home.
Annie becomes reclusive, doing nothing but watching TV. Megan finds her and uses tough love to tell her to stop feeling sorry for herself. Annie realizes her errors and decides to make amends with Nathan—getting her taillights fixed and baking him a carrot-themed cake—but he appears to rebuff the gesture, leaving the cake outside his house.
On the day of the wedding, Helen appears on her doorstep, begging for help in finding Lillian who has gone missing. In the car, Helen tearfully apologizes for all she has done to hurt Annie and explains how lonely she is: her husband is uncaring and she has no female friends, suspecting that she is only invited to weddings for her party planning skills and connections.
Annie contacts Nathan, who, after Annie deliberately stages several traffic violations in his presence, begrudgingly helps them find Lillian—who's discovered through a cell phone trace to be hiding at her own apartment. Lillian is overwhelmed by Helen's micromanaging and fears how marriage will change her life, including leaving Annie alone as she feels massive guilt over disinviting her from the wedding, and frustrated that her newly arrived, French-designed wedding dress looks bad. Annie reassures her, and herself, that everything will be fine, and helps Lillian get ready for the wedding as her maid of honor once more.
The wedding features an elaborate light show and a special appearance by Wilson Phillips—who perform Lillian's favorite song, "Hold On". After Lillian and Doug leave for their honeymoon, Annie reconciles with Helen, touching her with a gesture of friendship. Helen then quietly reveals that she has arranged for Nathan to pick Annie up, after seeing that they were in love. Nathan reveals that he ate the cake Annie made for him (after snatching from some raccoons). After sharing a kiss, he invites her to ride along with him on a police call.
The "postscript" to the story features a reprise of Wilson Phillip's "Hold On" performance—which is interrupt by Megan and Air Marshal John's making a sex tape that features eating a "bear sandwich".

Production
Writing
"It was only after the movie was completed that anyone said this had any significance. We didn't think it was any different than something like The House Bunny or Baby Mama. So we didn't think we were breaking any new ground. We just thought it was a fun thing to do."
The script, originally titled Maid of Honor, was written by Kristen Wiig and fellow actress and screenwriter Annie Mumolo.[7] Friends for years, both had met each other at The Groundlings, a Los Angeles-based improvisational comedy troupe where they wrote sketches with one another, in the early 2000s.[7] The basic premise for the film originated in 2006, shortly after Wiig was cast in the supporting role of a passive-aggressive cable television executive in producer Judd Apatow's comedy film Knocked Up (2007).[7] Recognizing her comedic talent, Apatow asked Wiig if she had any ideas for a screenplay herself – a practice which had previously led to Steve Carell's idea for The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) – and she and Mumolo soon came up with Bridesmaids.[7] Over the following years, writing commenced, with Wiig working on Saturday Night Live in New York City and Mumolo grinding out the script in Los Angeles.[8] The two would meet on weekends and conduct semi-regular table reads of drafts for Apatow to get his suggestions and notes.[7]
Filming
Bridesmaids was budgeted on $32.5 million.[9] Though primarily set in both cities, Milwaukee and Chicago, principal photography actually took place in Los Angeles, California.[10] Production designer Jefferson Sage, who has worked with Apatow and Paul Feig since their Freaks and Geeks days, noted that the first fact that appealed to him about the project "was that you had these two disparate worlds: There was Annie's world in Milwaukee, and then there was Helen's world in Chicago. It immediately drew this dichotomy between the rivalry that developed between them."[10] However, Sage acknowledged that it was a challenge to find "architecture that would give us those Midwestern worlds. Chicago is a beautiful, distinctive city architecturally, and restricted views of downtown L.A. feel like Chicago."[10] The production decided to use the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden as the location for Lillian and Dougie's wedding.[10] Additional scenes where Annie meets Officer Rhodes on the highways between Milwaukee and Chicago were filmed in Oxnard, California, which Sage described as a "broad, flat, green area away from mountains."[10]
Reception
Critical reception
Bridesmaids has received critical acclaim; review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 90 percent of critics have given the film a positive review based on 228 reviews, with an average score of 7.6/10. The critical consensus is: "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".[11] Metacritic, which assigns a standardized score out of 100, rated the movie 76 based on 37 critics.[12] Roger Ebert gave the film 3.5 stars of out 4.[13] Jeff Bayer said that Bridesmaids is "The best female-driven, R-rated comedy of all time".[14]
Ms. magazine noted, to its "enduring surprise", that despite the involvement of Apatow, and "done and done and done" themes, the film passed the Bechdel test of female-driven storylines.[15]
Critic Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly pointed out the significance of Bridesmaids success as follows: "So far, the message that Hollywood seems to have taken from the incredible success of Bridesmaids is a predictably reductive one, something along the lines of: Hey, look! Raunchy comedies for women with awesome grossout scenes in the middle of them can be big box office too!! The message that Hollywood should be taking is: A comedy that's raunchy and fearless, and also brilliantly written and shrewdly honest about what's really going on in women's lives, may actually connect with the fabled non-teenage audience (remember them?)."[16]
Melissa McCarthy has been nominated[when?] for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.[citation needed]. The film itself also got a SAG nomination for best ensemble, considered by many to be a suprise due to the fact that Bridesmaids got nominated at the expense of the likes of more traditional fare like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Hugo among others.
