Critics Consensus

A marriage of genuine characters, gross out gags, and pathos, Bridesmaids is a female-driven comedy that refuses to be boxed in as Kristen Wiig emerges as a real star.

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

Sure, it neatly avoids a lot of the fluff found in many chick flicks and replaces it with crass shenanigans, but it adds touching moments when they're needed most, providing for a smart, less clichéd comedy.

Rated: B

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

Through a combination of smart performances and scurrilous gags Bridesmaids yanks the buddy comedy from the hands of its traditional owners.

Rated: 4/5

Times (UK)

The big, brash laughs are coupled with a smart insight into women's friendships.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Every lady who has ever been a bride, a bridesmaid, or a maid of honor should see this. You will either laugh at the moments that remind of your own wedding party or laugh thankfully that none of these characters were anyone of you or someone else.

Rated: 4/5

Deep Focus Review

The movie doesn’t treat its female characters as exceptions to the absurd comedic rule that women aren’t funny, but for moviegoers devoted to that archaic idea, it will certainly prove them wrong.

Rated: 3.5/4

i was totally not getting it at first, but the movie is awesome af😸💖imma keep it and the next time i'm in the mood for watching hangover i'm watching both of them🔥 p.s. it may appear ridiculous age-wise for some, but i personally wouldn't want it any other way (younger cast); besides, it makes complete sense, if the bffs were never apart b4..in fact, it would be exactly like this😸🤷

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
