Save the date for the 15th anniversary of Bridesmaids!
Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a single woman whose own life is a mess, but when she learns that her lifelong best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), is engaged, she has no choice but to serve as the maid of honor. Though lovelorn and almost penniless, Annie, nevertheless, winds her way through the strange and expensive rituals associated with her job as the bride’s go-to gal. Determined to make things perfect, she gamely leads Lillian and the other bridesmaids down the wild road to the wedding.

Did you know?
- It was originally intended that Chris O’Dowd’s cop would be American, but everyone was so enamored of O’Dowd’s native Irish accent that it was decided that he keep it.
- The cast spent about two weeks improvising with each other, a lot of which was incorporated into the movie.
- The argument with the teenager (Mia Rose Frampton) in the jewelry store originally lasted for 10 minutes and was entirely improvised. The full scene is available on the DVD.
