Bridesmaid, so to say, 

"The Hangover" for women, is a big hit in the USA with waves of laughter and sensation. It arouses the sympathy of women, especially in their late 30's to early 40's.

 

 Annie (Kristen Wiig) feels stuck in a rough patch and that her life was at a dead end.

 

 When her lifetime best friend becomes engaged, Annie becomes the maid of honor.

 

 In her messy life, Annie attempts to serve as the maid of honor with a hodgepodge of bridesmaids (Melissa McCarthy, etc.), but everything goes wrong.

 

 Amongst the craziness of wedding preparations, Annie has a crisis with an old friendship.

 

 What happens to the wedding, Annie and the bridesmaids?

 

 Kristen Wiig, the leading actress and the writer of the script, pushed the limit to create a great comedy heroine. Kristen was nominated for Best Original Screenplay in Academy Award in 2012.

 

 In addition, Melissa McCarthy received Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

 

 Talented actresses' powerful performances are worth seeing.
