Stop whatever you're doing, take a seat, and grab hold of something sturdy, y'all—because we are about to blow. Your. MIND. Why? Because the trailer for "Bridesmaids," the first female-driven comedy to come out of the Judd Apatow Funny Machine, made its first appearance on the internet yesterday.
And as far as we can tell, it's actually funny.
If you're a girl, you know that this is big news—because most of the movies that Hollywood makes for female audiences are... what's the word we're looking for?... oh, right. LAME. Excruciatingly, horrifically lame. ("Bride Wars"? "Made of Honor"? "Mamma Mia"?! Seriously, guys—it doesn't matter how many cute dudes and big froufy wedding gowns you cram into a film, we're still going to notice that the movie's not great.) But "Bridesmaids," which was written by Kristen Wiig and stars a veritable herd of hilarious women, looks less like a simpering rom-com and more like "The Hangover"... except, y'know, for girls.
The trailer opens with bride-to-be Lillian (Maya Rudolph), asking BFF Annie (Kristen Wiig) to be her maid of honor, and then quickly introduces us to the rest of the bridal party (Rose Byrne, Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy and Wendi McLendon-Covey). Annie is single, which means that we can probably expect some sort of plotline related to her search for a wedding date... but like all ensemble comedies, this movie is really about shenanigans, as indicated by the series of montage shots that show, in no particular order: a car chase, a bunch of puppies, a bachelorette party-planning meeting gone horribly awry and Annie getting a tennis ball to the boob. Oh, and there's also Jon Hamm...with no shirt on.
Sorry, did we say that "Bridesmaids" looked good? Because what we meant was, this is going to be the greatest movie of all time.
