The laughter quotient at Netflix has significantly increased with the addition of one of the most hilarious movies from the 2010s to their movie catalog. As Judd Apatow’s era of comedy was winding down, the 2010s still managed to produce some side-splitting comedies despite a decline in their box-office performance. During this time, memorable comedies like “Easy A,” “Ted,” and “Pitch Perfect” graced our screens. Some of these beloved comedies, such as “Grown Ups” and “Horrible Bosses,” are already available on Netflix, and now their comedy collection has expanded even further with the arrival of another laugh-out-loud funny movie from the 2010s.
For those Netflix users seeking a hearty dose of laughter, the comedy “Bridesmaids” directed by Paul Feig is now available for streaming. This celebrated 2011 film joined Netflix’s collection on September 1st, accompanied by a wave of fresh additions. The movie centers around Kristen Wiig as Annie Walker, a woman struggling in life who agrees to be the maid of honor at her best friend’s (Maya Rudolph) wedding. Despite her financial woes and competitive spirit towards an arrogant bridesmaid, Annie gathers an eclectic group of bridesmaids – including Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, and Melissa McCarthy – on a chaotic journey leading up to the wedding.
Why You Should Watch Bridesmaids
For those seeking an enduring dose of laughter, “Bridesmaids” is definitely the film you’re looking for. Known for its bold, comedic moments that are typically found in male-led comedies such as The Hangover, this movie doesn’t hesitate to incorporate gross-out gags and risqué humor. Notable scenes include the chaotic dress fitting and wedding toasts, which remain among the most memorable and uproarious in comedy to this day. While “Bridesmaids” is filled with laughter that will make you giggle out loud, it’s built upon a poignant narrative about female friendship and maturity. The film also boasts outstanding performances from its cast, particularly propelling Melissa McCarthy to stardom.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but reminisce about the revolutionary impact of “Bridesmaids” when it graced our screens back in 2011. With an initial investment of $32 million, this comedy powerhouse generated an astounding global revenue of over $306 million. The film didn’t just impress financially; it was a critical hit too, boasting a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 89% critics’ approval and 76% audience adoration.
The accolades poured in, and “Bridesmaids” made history as the first Apatow-produced film to receive Academy Award nominations, specifically for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay. This groundbreaking success not only shattered stereotypes but also paved the way for future female-led comedies like “The Heat,” “Girls Trip,” and “Booksmart.” Truly, “Bridesmaids” was a game-changer in the male-dominated comedy genre.
