Always the ‘Bridesmaids’

Freaks and Geeks creator Paul Feig set the curve for raunch in a female-led comedy last spring with Bridesmaids, new on DVD this week. Saturday Night Live’s Kristin Wiig stars as a perpetually single girl who’s best friend gets engaged and dubs her the maid of honor, saddling her with a list of responsibilities she feels woefully inadequate to take on before the big day. After meeting her friend’s quirky and dysfunctional group of bridesmaids, Wiig and company’s attempts to throw successful showers, luncheons, dress fittings and the all-important bachelorette party turns into a series of hilarious misadventures. Maya Rudolf stars as the bride-to-be, and they are joined by co-stars Rose Byrne, Jon Hamm and Ellie Kemper. Rated R.
