I had mixed feelings going in to this film, and came out with the same mixed feelings. Don't get me wrong, this is a funny film. But it is not hilarious. Kristen Wiig plays an on-again, off-again maid of honor for her newly engaged best friend. As she traverses the wedding drama landscape with her other bridesmaids, all the typical problems and solutions arise. So in many ways it is a conventional romantic comedy. What makes it better than average is Molly McCarthy, who plays a character that slowly evolves from caricature to a bit of a fuller & deeper caricature and the Kristen Wiig scene where she is attempting to get the attention of her one-time boyfriend police officer. The film made me laugh, occasionally.
3 stars (out of 5)

Spot on. I couldn't quite buy in to all the hype.
