So we came up with the food poisoning from being at a s–tty restaurant,” he told Insider.
“There needed to be a consequence to Annie’s actions, and she needs to be humiliated in front of Helen and the other bridesmaids. It’s this romance feel, with her running through the woods, and Matt Damon is shirtless, chopping wood.” Feig and Wiig on the set of “Bridesmaids” in 2010 Universal Picturesįeig added that during script rewrites, he and producer Judd Apatow felt that the story needed something else.
Annie goes in the dressing room to try on this really expensive dress, and suddenly she has a fantasy of what her life could be in this dress. That just got cut because we had too much movie. “We shot it at a Macy’s in the middle of the night. “So we had this bit about tiny shrimp forks. In it, the crew goes shopping for wedding gifts, with Annie picking out cheap stuff that she believes Lillian will like while Helen is looking at shrimp forks. He explained that there was an additional scene between when the ladies have the lunch that makes them ill and when they go to the dress shop where it all comes back up. Instead of having the ladies barf up their lunch, Annie was meant to have a fantasy of the “Good Will Hunting” star half-naked, said Feig. The classic cringeworthy scene where Lillian and her bridesmaids try on dresses while they experience the effects of food poisoning was almost completely different: The original script also had a sequence involving a shirtless Matt Damon chopping up wood.
Wiig’s character is in fierce competition with Lillian’s wealthy, newer pal Helen (Rose Byrne).
BRIDESMAIDS MOVIE MOVIE
Wiig - who co-wrote the movie with Annie Mumolo, a collab they revived for this year’s “Barb & Star Go to Vista del Mar” - stars as a baker trying to plan a wedding for her best friend, Lillian (played by fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Maya Rudolph). Now, director Paul Feig spilled a few secrets about the movie with Insider, and revealed some scenes that never made it into the final cut. It’s almost impossible to believe that the women-led comedy premiered a decade ago. “I’m ready to PAAAAAAAAARTY!” Kristen Wiig’s “Bridesmaids” character, Annie, screams while high on tranquilizers during the film’s infamous plane scene. ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ smashes box office record during pandemicĪll the best ’80s throwbacks in ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Meet the preteen whiz kid acting alongside comedy queen Kristen Wiig They hate themselves.Ĭontaining the same mix of ‘heart and hurl’ as producer Judd Apatow’s other work ( The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad) Bridesmaids is a film for everyone and one that features some of the finest comedy set-pieces since Mary put spunk in her hair.Golden Globes 2021 presenters include Awkwafina, Cynthia Erivo and more Self pity and laughter, it’s what seperates us from the animals. And self pity is one of the most universally shared egocentrisms going. Instead, it’s the story of someone putting their life back on track after waddling through a shit-stream of self pity. Be it Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm as the dictionary definition of ‘Bastard’ or The I.T.Crowd‘s Chris O’Dowd as the ‘world’s nicest policeman’TM, both lack a unique quality to distance themselves from the ‘one she shouldn’t be with’ and ‘the one she should’.īut then Bridesmaids isn’t a rom-com even though there are rom-com staples within. The men, meanwhile, are a touch more one note. If there are faults within the film, (and it’s by no means perfect) chief among them would be the lack of screentime the bezzie mates get together. Their relationship contains, in the opening minute and a half, more genuine compassion and commonality than most comedies pour into an entire feature. The concept of a comedy centring on a ‘gang of friends preparing for the last days of freedom before an impending marriage’ seems painfully close to ‘ The Hangover for girls’ -it even features an overweight, socially awkward sibling of the groom- but Bridesmaids is much more than a copy of the lost-night sleeper from two summers ago.įor starters the central pairing of Wiig and Rudolph appear born to be best friends.
