This seems NOTHING like Bridesmaids.


This movie actually seems more funny and realistic. The only thing similar is that both are revolved around weddings.

Quite. It struck me more as a cross between The Hangover and Sorority Row. I thought it was a riot.

According to Leslye Headland, whom I've seen interviewed, and to what I read somewhere,
she wrote the play as an exercise for a writing class at N.Y.U.
She was doing a series of treatises on the Seven Deadly Sins.
This one is Gluttony.
Watch all the references to overindulging in one way or another:
too much cocaine, and bulimia.
And an overweight bride.

It then turned into a play, which was then adapted into the film.

That's the way I understand it, anyway.

It wasn't meant to be anything like Bridesmaids. People just thought so because they both seemed like Comedies centered around a wedding.
