Check Out the New Trailer for ‘Bridesmaids’

The second trailer for this summer’s—dare I say chick flick… we’ll go with bridal comedy— titled Bridesmaids came out today. Now the film hits theaters this summer, and in a summer full of battling bots, astonishing superheros, greedy pirates, and aliens, the women from the Bridesmaids could very well serve as a breather for all of us.

Official Synopsis:

This spring, producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Superbad) and director Paul Feig (creator of Freaks and Geeks) invite you to experience Bridesmaids. Kristen Wiig leads the cast as Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and a group of colorful bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Annie’s life is a mess. But when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged, she simply must serve as Lillian’s maid of honor. Though lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it perfect, she’ll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far you’ll go for someone you love.

We’ve all seen the romantic comedy about weddings, or the battle of the brides (Bride Wars), but this film seems to stand on its own. Maybe I just haven’t seen enough bridal films, but this looks pretty hilarious. One, these bridesmaids have not received the Hollywood treatment, meaning that these are women that others could relate to. Two, it’s refreshing not to see the names of  Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, or Kate Hudson plastered on the posters. Three, this is some pretty refreshing comedy. Check out the trailer below:
