It's the WEEKEND - Go See BRIDESMAIDS!

This is got to be the funniest movie I have ever seen. I LOVED it!

REVIEW: Annie’s best friend since childhood, Lillian (Maya Rudolph) has just gotten engaged. Lillian wants Annie to be her maid of honor, which includes planning the shower and bachelorette party. Annie is of course happy for her friend, but the situation only serves to highlight her own currently poor life situation.

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. 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.

Along 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. 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). But the woman who runs away with the movie is Megan, the gruff, overweight member of the group. She is played hilariously by Melissa McCarthy with a down to earth earnestness that somehow works even when she is doing and saying outrageous things. (Review taken from Screenrant). You can also see the trailer by clicking on Screenrant.

Melissa McCarthy is extremely FUNNY in this movie. She was by far my favorite.
Guys will like this movie. Don't take children under 18. See it with your girlfriends, you won't be sorry! I'm going to see it again and will probably purchase it. Yes, I liked it that much.

I can't wait to see it...a little later here in Italy, but it looks so good that it'll be worth the wait. I used to be a writer for a wedding/bridal magazine and OH THE STORIES I COULD TELL.
I loved MM when she was on Gillmore Girls. SHe was a hoot!
