Bridesmaids (1989 TV Movie)
5/10
Bridesmaids - **1/2 out of *****
3 March 2024
Not to be confused with the blockbuster 2011 Kristen Wiig comedy, this television movie came out 22 years prior and has absolutely no connection other than the titular bridesmaids at the center of the story. Not to be crass, but this is basically nothing more than a feature-length version of a feminine hygiene product commercial. Female friends laughing, crying, fighting, making up and talking about sex, men and womanhood. It will most certainly appeal to the STEEL MAGNOLIAS crowd, which incidentally came out the same year. And although I can't recommend it, it's actually better than it deserves to be based solely on the likeability and chemistry of the four leads. They are able to convince us that they are life-long friends, and they are enormously appealing, even during the embarrassing moments. In the end, it basically amounts to nothing more than a series of upbeat period songs interrupted by moments of story. It even includes the requisite cringe-worthy scene where the gals join forces and sing MY GUY. If you're a fan of any of these actresses, it's worth a look. Just don't expect much.
