Bridesmaids 2011

Bridesmaids (2011)    Annie is happy her best friend is engaged and planning her wedding.  Inside, she's unhappy because she feels like a failure, she loved her bake shop but she lost a lot of money due to the economy and it closed.  She doesn't have a boyfriend and her mother got her a job.  Things are become more complicated when she meets Lillian's new friend Helen.  Wealthy, beautiful, stepping in to take control of the wedding details, where does Annie fit in? 
    This is funny and good except for a lot of body humor, how can that be missing in a Judd Apatow movie?  You really begin to feel the hurt welling up in Annie and hope she makes better choices.  4* (I really liked this movie.)

121 min, Comedy directed by Paul Feig with Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Jon Hamm, Jill Clayburgh, Chris O'Dowd, Melissa McCarthy.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.4, 90% critic 81% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
