What to Watch: Bridesmaids

SNL Guru Kristen Wiig stars in the movie Bridesmaids alongside Maya Rudolph. It was refreshing to see Maya play a role where her script did not include constant howling, although she did have a lot of spastic hand movements that I am used to seeing on SNL. Kristen Wiig did a really good job in the movie, and it was very funny. I was pleased to find out that this was not a "romantic comedy." While it has it's romance scenes, the majority of the movie is not about romance. I was also glad that this was not a real chick flick (not that it would have stopped me from seeing it) because a lot of the humor is not suitable for a chick flick. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and I think it's a good comedy. Kristen Wiig has become one of the more popular comedians on SNL recently, and this movie is a great example of what she's capable of.

Also, I'm not going to spoil the movie at all, but I am going to post a classic song from the movie. It's one of the most empowering songs from the 90's...a true gem in stone! This song hit #1 in the year 1990, and is still played on the radio all the time.
