Perhaps, one of the hardest aspects of adulting is the societal and familial pressure of getting married. And if it’s not that, it is the pressure of having to arrange your own wedding. Well, the people who take some heat off of brides during tense wedding-related situations are often their bridesmaids.
While this continues to be a rather non-Indian concept, there are numerous films about it that seem to appeal to Indian audiences as well. One such title is the 2011 rom-com ”, starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Rebel Wilson, Maya Rudoph, and more in leading roles.
The lighthearted plot of the film follows a lovesick and jobless Annie who’s life is on the verge of falling apart. However, she soon becomes the bridesmaid for Lillian, her long-time best pal. When this becomes the best thing in her life, she becomes determined to make Lillian’s wedding ideal and absolutely error-free, along with the other bridesmaids.
Available to stream on JioCinema and rent on Prime Video, the breezy rom-com is a reminder of the importance of friendships during the crucial moments in life. Moreover, what it also stresses on is the fact that an occasion such as a wedding isn’t entirely complete without the presence of one’s dearest friends!
