Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where each Thursday you have to pick three films to match the week's topic.
This week's theme is weddings. Who doesn't like weddings? *immediately raises both hands* okay, it's not like I hate weddings, I just don't believe in them. Like Mr. Pink doesn't believe in tipping. But when it comes to wedding films, that's a whole different thing, especially comedies. So without further ado, here's three of my favourite wedding comedies.
The Hangover (2009)
Three friends wake up from a bachelor party in Las Vegas with no memory of the previous night, a missing bachelor, a tiger in the hotel's bathroom and a baby in the closet. Hilarious chaos results as they try to retrace their steps to find their friend before the wedding. This is a real comedy, one of those movies that really makes you laugh out loud. I've seen this film like a million times, and it gets better each time.
Bridesmaids (2011)
Annie's life is a mess - she is broke and in a dysfunctional relationship -, but when she finds out that her lifetime best friend is engaged, she must serve as her friend's maid of honor which means expensive rituals and competition with a bridesmaid over who is the bride's best friend. I really don't get why this film gets so much hate. It may not be Paul Feig's best, but it's hilarious and full of heart, and I really liked Kristen Wiig's character.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
30-year-old Toula, who has been brought up to be strictly Greek for all her life, falls in love with a non-Greek and struggles to get her family to accept him. I grew up watching this film over and over again with my mother. It is probably the only film we both like, so I guess that's the reason I picked it today. Anyway it is a decent comedy, and it's quite enjoyable.
