Movie review - "Bridesmaids" (2011) ****1/2

 Still holds up. Hilarious. Some of it side splitting. Heartfelt. Occasionally the tone veers into OTT territory - the Rebel Wilson/Matt Lucas flatmates for instance, some of the things the characters say. But it's made up for by the gold: Kristen Wiig and John Hamm, Wiig and Chris O'Dowd (a great rom com lead), Wiig and Melissa McCarthy (especially that final confrontation wit them), Ellie Kamper and Wendy McLendon-Covey (I wish their characters were given more of a final arc though), Jill Clayburgh getting a decent final role, Rose Byrne shocking everyone in Australia with how incredible she was. A wonderful film.
