Women being Women


Bridesmaids was one of the funniest and satisfying "chick" flicks I have seen since "The First Wife's Club" with Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler from the 1990's.  The story centered around Lillian Donavan played by (Maya Rudolph) the bride who is getting married and her best friend Annie Walker played by Kristen Wiig when Lillian is asked to be her maid of honor.  Lillian is single, jealous of her friend, down on her luck because she lost her bakery and savings and she's in a meaningless relationship and one step away from living back home with her mother.  Enters Helen Harris III played by Rose Bryne, a rich friend of Lillian's to stir up trouble and Megan Price, Lillian's future sister-in-law who is the star of the movie played by Melissa McCarthy. With a great supporting cast and some wonderful writing, Bridesmaids is a movie not to be missed.  Bring out the tissues people, you will need them, not from tears of sadness but from tears from all the laughing.
