She has a gift not only with witty dialogue based comedy, but physical comedy as well. Wiig straddles a fine line between caricature and character. The main source of attraction to the film is its star, Kristen Wiig, who proves she is more than capable of leading a solid blockbuster comedy. Some men might get scared away at the prospect of a comedy with a bit of a heart, but it would be a shame to write off Bridesmaids for it, because it is genuinely hilarious in many instances, and its heart tends to lend a layer that was missing in comedies like The Hangover.
However, telling the story from the other gender lends it a bit more emotional credibility. Annie must learn to juggle her already crazy life with the stress of helping plan a wedding with an eccentric band of bridesmaids.īridesmaids is easiest to compare to the breakout hit The Hangover, mainly because it involves a wedding, the opposite end of a wedding party, and no holds barred R-Rated comedy. However, when her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), gets engaged she immediately finds herself thrust into the position of “Maid of Honor” for the upcoming ceremony. She now finds herself stuck in a semi-relationship with the narcissistic Ted (Jon Hamm), the roommate of a socially awkward British brother and sister, and to top it all off doesn’t have many prospects in her future. Her bakery, the fruit of her experience and passion, has folded recently, and along with it her relationship.
Kristen Wiig might have a breakout hit on her hands with her extremely funny turn in the anti- Hangover film, Bridesmaids.Īnnie (Kristen Wiig) is a bit down on her luck. There has been a few that have yet to come to fruition yet, (for example Adam Brody and Topher Grace are two actors who have lots of charisma but never seem to find the right roles) but it appears that one of my predictions might be coming true.
I had been saying for years that Zach Galfianakis would break out, and finally after The Hangover he achieved A-List status that has turned into a cornucopia of roles for the actor. Like any self-respecting pop culture fanatic I have a constant list of predictions on who are set to be big stars.
