The antidote to Sex And The City, this not so sugary rom-com, is cruel but warm at heart. It shows, thirty-something Annie, producer and actress, Kristen Wiig, living alone in Milwaukee, feeling depressed about being single, she usually turns to her mum (the late Jill Clayburgh) and her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph) whom she has known since childhood. Sadly, Lillian announces she's getting married, and Annie feels abandoned by her friend, banished to spinsterhood. Faced with being the maid of honor, Annie Googles' what being an honor entails. As Annie is in charge of Lillian's big day, she takes her fellow bridesmaids, to a dodgy alleyway Brazilian restaurant. All the while, Annie is vying with another bridesmaid, Helen Harris III (Rose Byrne) to be Lillian's best friend. This film has very funny moments, including the notable airplane sequence and the bridesmaids dress fitting. It ain't no chick-flick.
