Bridesmaids the movie opens nationwide today, but I had a chance to see a sneak peek of it last week. Let me just tell you– IT WAS HILARIOUS! I cant’ remember the last time I laughed so hard at a movie. Even my husband was laughing so hard he teared up so it’s definitely not just a chick flick. There were scenes in there that every bride or bridesmaid can relate to.

Typically in the movies the role of bridesmaid or maid-of-honor is portrayed very romantically. It’s an easy breezy job, full of parties and pretty dresses. But Bridesmaids tells it more like it really is. There are expensive dresses to buy, crazy wedding party members to deal with and bridal meltdowns to avoid. Of course many of the scenes are over the top (like the flight to Vegas where Annie sees a colonial woman on the wing of the plane or the dress fitting session where everyone becomes raging sick.) But I’m pretty sure you will see at least a glimpse of your own wedding experiences somewhere in the film.

So grab your girls– or even your guy– and head to the theater right away to see this movie. I guarantee you will laugh. And who couldn’t use more laughter in their lives? When you do see it, be sure to come back here and tell me what your favorite scene was! I’d love to compare notes!

There’s a hilarious new movie coming out on May 13, 2011 called Bridesmaids.  The movie stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne and others. Maya is the bride and the movie follows her and her five bridesmaids through some hilarious scenarios that I’m sure many of us can relate to.

Bridesmaids Hits Theaters May 13

Bridesmaids centers on the character Annie (played by Wiig), who is a down-on-her-luck baker who is losing her store because of the recession. When her best friend Lillian ( played by Rudolph) breaks the news that she’s engaged and wants Annie to be her maid of honor, she puts her own trials aside to help out. In case you haven’t caught the trailer yet, check this out!
