Film on 9pm at Ch.4 - Bridesmaids - Never hear dof it but look! RT: Can women be funny? Can they disgust us and appal us but still have us in stitches and loving them? The answer is yes - and Bridesmaids is the proof. Loser singleton Kristen Wiig is asked by lifelong pal Maya Rudolph to be maid of honour at her upcoming wedding. But their friendship is torn asunder by Rudolphs new friend, icky perfectionist Rose Byrne. So Wiig musters a motley crew of bridesmaids and attempts to get her best friend back. The script, co-written by Wiig, and direction, from Paul Feig (TVs Freaks and Geeks), are brilliant, and the film is executive produced by gross-out genius Judd Apatow. Not only that, but the film-makers have assembled a gem-like cluster of comedic actresses and spiked the whole thing with outrageous humour. Wiig is fantastic, but credit should also go to The IT Crowds Chris ODowd as her love interest and Melissa McCarthy as the awkward but lovable weirdo in the bridal party. By treating funny women as normal people, Wiig has crafted a game-changing comedy thats even better than The Hangover.
