In 2001, the chick flick got a makeover when Paul Feig released his raunchy r-rated comedy, Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids tells us the story of a down on her luck woman approaching middle age who must work through her insecurities after her best friend gets engaged and her friendship and identity become threatened. Featuring an all-killer cast including Kristen Wiig (also a co-writer), Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd, Jon Hamm, Rebel Wilson, Ellie Kemper, and Wendi McLendon-Covey, Bridesmaids was in no short supply of talent, made $288 million off of a $32 million budget, and even secured two Oscar nods. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent, debate the proper Xanax to scotch ratio as we decide if this flick deserves a spot at the head table, or if it is no better than shit in the street.
