Bridesmaids is everything you would expect from a Judd Apatow production as of late: unmitigated raunch, constant improvisation, and plenty of heart to boot. Channeling his humor to a frat-house crowd, Apatow has mostly relegated the women in his films to supporting roles, either to instigate a change in the story or to merely react to the likes of his repertoire of male comedians. Bridesmaids turns said model on its head and foregrounds a variety of female comediennes, proving that women are just as game as their male counterparts and, oftentimes, even more hilarious.
