Marriage kills 2 lovebirds with 1 expensive stone. First up…

Bridesmaids

Being a bride can be stressful, but just how chaotic can it be that you need multiple maids to clean up after you?

And while the bride-to-be in this comedy seems tidy, her maid of honor could use some domestic help.

When her childhood friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) gets engaged, scatterbrained Annie (Kristen Wiig) is chosen to be maid of honor.

When the events that she has planned go terribly awry, however, a more influential bridesmaid (Rose Byrne) steps up and commandeers the party planning duties, along with some of Annie’s ideas.

Feeling neglected and upstaged, Annie begins to act out in idiotic ways that cause a rift in her friendship with Lillian.

With a comedic cast, relatable relationship references and sustainable unisex jokes throughout, Bridesmaids is a true creditable comedy.

As for those people who don’t think that women can be funny, obviously they’ve never seen a female ventriloquist.  0

The Groomsmen

Groomsmen seem like a ridiculous wedding custom, but if your bride ever fails to show, there’s a good chance you can convince one of them to take your bromance to that next level.

Unfortunately for the groom in this comedy, his groomsmen might be absent as well.

With a week to go before his wedding to Sue (Brittany Murphy), Paulie (Edward Burns) is advised by his brother/best man, Jimbo (Donal Logue), not to go through with it.

Meanwhile, his groomsmen Mike (Jay Mohr) and T.C. (John Leguizamo) attempt to resolve an old dispute over a missing baseball card. Dez (Matthew Lillard), on the other hand, wallows in the group’s glory days.

More a dramatic dissertation on the difficulties of adulthood than a laugh-out-loud comedy, nonetheless, The Groomsmen is an honest portrayal of friendship.

By the way, it's not a romantic gesture to have your fiancée’s ex-boyfriends as your groomsmen.
