Bridesmaids...the comedy of the year!

You’ve probably already been hearing all the hype about Bridesmaids the movie and you don’t need me to tell you to head on down to the cinema to watch it….but seriously, do!  You won’t be disappointed!

This is a laugh-out-loud comedy that will shock you, make you smile and there’s even some tender moments in there that will give you pause for thought.  None of the actors are high high profile, so none of them come into the movie with any baggage or previous conceptions.  They are immediately engaging and likable and you’ll be hard pressed not to get sucked into the story and start feeling for all of the characters, flaws and all!

One of the stand out performances is that of our own Chris O’Dowd – remember him from the Meteor TO-GO ads last year??  He is so endearing and even comes off as a bit of a heart throb at the end of the movie!

One of my favourite quotes of his in the film was when he talked about weddings and the whole stress surrounding them:

Officer Rhodes: “Running a wedding should be fun. You know if I ever had a wedding I would want everyone to be stress free…..You know I would like it to be a carnival. Like people win prizes guessing the bride’s weight.

Brilliant.  There are many more hilariously funny stand out moments, which I won’t ruin the movie by going into them here, but suffice to say this is a funny, feel good and genuine movie that guys and girls alike will enjoy!
