Top 100 Male Actors

365 Days, 100 Films #37 - Bridesmaids (2011)

“The female Hangover!” the posters triumphed, which might have been off-putting for those that didn’t like The Hangover . But the majority of people did, so it’s a good marketing strategy, if a little misleading. For Bridesmaids is a Judd Apatow-produced film; crude, but not to Hangover levels. These Apatow productions all feel the same: average to above-average comedy, dialogue devised through improvisation and long. So a more accurate comparison would be “the female 40-Year-Old Virgin ”. Not in plot, but in tone and humour.Katherine Heigl, Apatow produced the Knocked Up, once called this film "a little sexist." "It paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guy," Katherine Heigl has argued, probably on her period, while "it paints women as shrews, as humorless and uptight." Perhaps the decision to produce Apatow bridesmaids, where the male characters are reduced to two supporting roles (Jon Hamm, beautifully shady as "fuck buddy" Ted and Chris O'Dowd as a cop love interest one little too cutesy) was unconsciously influenced by such remarks. Heigl has since gone on to fight against sexism with more rewarding roles in The Ugly Truth and 27 Dresses . The actors in Bridesmaids , however, are true comediennes. They’re able to make “humourless and uptight” hilarious. Annie (Kristen Wiig) and Lillian (Maya Rudolph) have been best friends since childhood, and Lillian’s impending marriage signifies an inevitable change in their relationship. When Annie is first asked to be the maid of honour, her face freezes in a manic laugh; first of happiness, but then, as Lillian takes a phone call in the other room, of horror. Not just because they would no longer be able to spend as much time together, but of the thought that she’s getting married – she’s growing up – while Annie remains stuck in a perpetual loop of failures in work and love. The first scene between Annie and Lillian in a café is superb. There are two women onscreen actually being funny. Not through being overly gross or trying to replicate male humour, but by joking how normal women must. Female film characters always seem to be underwritten or consigned to plot devices ( Transformers: Dark of the Moon ), so it’s refreshing stuff to watch. As a male man myself, I found the scene naturally funny, but this might have came from my own discomfort.
