After years of adult-themed gross out comedies marketed almost exclusively towards men, Bridesmaids came along and proved women could make audiences laugh in gleeful disgust just the same. That the movie starred and was written by women was hardly a superficial move, as the feminine sensibilities are on display from beginning to end. Not that men didn’t also laugh hysterically when they watched it, turning the film into an enduring classic as we rapidly approach its happy couple’s 7th anniversary.
Proudly showcasing a desire to go big or go home when it came to shocking sight gags and outrageous jokes, the humor of Bridesmaids also happens to be the kind that doesn’t quickly fade from memory. Much like a real wedding, the build and aftermath to the one seen in the film will forever remain fresh in the minds of those who were part of the craze when it was first released.
On the other hand, as with any great pop culture sensation, there will always be people who pretend to know the plot of Bridesmaids a whole lot better than they actually do. Sure, you remember what Melissa McCarthy did to a certain sink, and that the maid of honor’s life was pretty much in shambles, but can you actually recall every last detail about her attempts to fix it? Take our quiz and find out how well you remember Bridesmaids.
Who is the maid of honor?
Breaking convention for a movie that’s ultimately about a wedding, the bride herself is hardly the point, as the title of Bridesmaids would imply. More important than the lucky lady is the team she compiles to help guide her down the aisle, with her best friend and maid of honor the true star of the show. The closer this character gets to her oldest and closest pal’s big day, the further her life spirals out of control, usually in disastrously self-destructive fashion. Naturally, she picks up the pieces in the end and might even find love herself.
Who’s the bride?
Okay, so the maid of honor might be the star of the movie, but it’s pretty hard to have any bridesmaids without a bride. Bringing the crew together is Annie’s best friend from childhood, who still happily lives less than five minutes away from her apartment as the two navigate through their 30’s together. Unlike Annie, this bride-to-be’s life seems rather put together, and seeing her friend change into a fully formed adult faster than she did leads to petty jealousies that almost destroy the big day. Luckily, it’s nothing that can’t be solved in two hours or less.
Who else plays a huge role in planning the wedding?
Even without this character getting in the way, chances are the mounting tensions between Annie and Lillian would have lead to some light awkwardness. Throw in her posh influence, however, and the situation was primed for the true war their fight would become. In fact, it could be said Annie is never really upset with Lillian at all, only furious with this newcomer she met through her fiancé’s job for daring get in between the two best friends. In due time, however, Annie comes to realize Helen’s generosity may not be as fake as it seems.
Where are the women planning to go before Annie gets kicked off the plane?
Generally a bit neurotic about her every day life, it makes sense Annie would be one of many people to suffer from the very common fear of flying. Though cooler heads are well aware air travel is actually extremely safe, the thought of things going wrong are too much for some flyers to bear. Utilizing a questionable yet popular solution to this problem, Annie vastly overmedicated with Scotch and sleeping pills, leading to a scene so insane the whole party got kicked off their flight. Unfortunately, this ruined their plans to create a wild bachelorette party.
What are the women doing when they get terrible food poisoning?
Ultimately, if Bridesmaids is to be remembered for one thing, it’s almost certain the ridiculous, over-the-top food poisoning scene where Annie and friends get really, really sick. Within seconds, two of them are throwing up, and two others are rushing towards whatever bathroom, sink, or open roadway they can find. Due to her rivalry with Helen, Annie might have it worst of all, as she suppresses that which her friends expel as long as humanly possible just to “prove” her choice of restaurant didn’t cause the disaster.
What sort of restaurant causes the food poisoning?
Yeah, that whole food poisoning scene was really so legendary we’re devoting two separate questions to the ordeal. Before everyone lost control of their bodies at the fanciest bridal shop in town, they had to eat the food that would turn their internal organs into hot lava. Right off the bat, Helen seemed to be aware this establishment was bad news, immediately commenting on the terrible neighborhood it was in and choosing to eat only salads. The other gals should have headed her example, but they were too enticed by the walls of meat waiters brought to their table.
Who is Annie hooking up with at the start of the movie?
Given what Annie and this stud are doing at the start of Bridesmaids, one might expect him to be her boyfriend. He’s got a different term for it, which he brazenly uses in public, although it’s a little too offensively crass to print on this quiz. To put it lightly, the point is that he doesn’t see value relationship anywhere near the level she does, throwing in another put down into the mix when he calls her his “number three.” Unfortunately, being self-destructive and depressed, Annie ignores all this because, well, she thinks he’s really hot.
What animal are guests given as party favors at the bridal shower?
It’s been an increasing trend amongst the type of rich person who just doesn’t know what to do with their money to spend it on bizarrely extravagant weddings. That’s definitely the modus operandi of Helen as she takes control of Lillian’s shower, both in the excessive decorations she provides and the truly over-the-top party favor she gives to all guests. The thing about handing a stranger an animal is that they now need to care for it, which not every random friend of Lillian can necessarily manage.
What theme does Lillian’s bridal shower have?
When Annie first suggests her planned theme for Lillian’s bridal shower, everyone seems to think it’s a great idea. Except, of course, Helen. Immediately, she shuts down the idea, going so far as to call it outdated and bland, then goes on to brainstorm a bunch of allegedly “better” ideas to replace it. Of course, when the big day actually comes, Helen winds up pushing aside all of her criticisms and diving headfirst into Annie’s suggested theme, taking all the credit when she does so.
Who is the groom?
For a movie about a wedding, it’s kind of funny how little the groom factors in to Bridesmaids. Then again, cultural tradition says that the bride gets to handle most of the planning, so maybe Lillian’s fiancé is just letting her take control. All we really know about him aside from the fact Lillian likes him a lot is that he travels quite often, usually with Helen’s husband, who serves as his boss and presumably friend. Despite the very small number of lines he’s given in the film, fans of the actor agree he did a great job.
What sort of business did Annie own prior to the movie?
Before her life started spiraling out of control, it actually looked like Annie was on a bit of an upswing. For an indeterminate amount of time, she owned a small business that may not have made all that much money, but it always left customers satisfied and smiling. They didn’t even mind the fact the waiter, Annie’s business partner and boyfriend, had what’s been described as a “wormy face.” Unfortunately, there just weren’t enough of them to keep things solvent, especially in today’s wintry economic climate.
What sport does Annie play with Helen?
Despite how much they instantly hate one another, being Lillian’s two closest friends, Annie and Helen diplomatically decide to spend a day together and try to learn how to get along. Unfortunately, they decided to do this at Helen’s posh country club, where they stood against one another in an athletic competition. Set to the pounding guitars of AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap,” Annie and Helen use their competition as a backdrop to absolutely beat the tar out of one another, paying very little attention to the game at hand.
What was Annie’s business called?
As a kind former patron eventually points out to Annie, the mere fact a business didn’t make lots of money doesn’t mean it was a failure. All that truly matters is that the product they produced was memorable, and according to anyone who ate one of Annie’s confections, that was definitely the case. Obviously, no real person has been so lucky as to taste these unique treats, but the shop should nonetheless remain pretty vivid in audience’s minds due to the logo and broken down, graffiti-covered store front.
Where does Annie work when the movie begins?
Unfortunately, employment options are relatively limited for a woman whose main skill is creating ornate cupcakes. Once Annie’s bakery business failed, she had to put the dream on the old back burner for a while and settle for any old job that would allow her to pay the rent. Given the way her life has been going, it was almost a given she’d wind up in a career she was entirely unsuited for, generally annoying and upsetting customers with her depressing stories rather than help them out in any way.
Who is Annie’s female roommate?
Having lost all her savings in Cake Baby and stuck in what must be a minimum wage job, Annie can’t exactly pay for rent in the city all on her own. Luckily, she manages to find not one but two kindly British siblings to help supplement the bill. Then again, these two are so odd, Annie probably second guesses her decision to live with them on an almost daily basis. This is immediately apparent when we meet the female of the pair, who readily got a tattoo in “a van,” which unsurprisingly became infected overnight.
What do Annie and Officer Rhodes eat while sitting on his car?
It’s pretty rare for two people to converge at a 24 hour gas station in the dead of night and actually have a positive, pleasant experience, but that’s somehow exactly what Annie and Rhodes do after she has a typically bad night with Ted. Wanting to get over the negativity hooking up with the self-obsessed playboy always brings, Annie is happy to stop and chat with Rhodes about her troubles, and as luck would have it, he just bought the perfect snack for them to eat while having their discussion.
Who is Annie’s male roommate?
If Brynn is the weird and quirky roommate, her brother is the calm and intelligent one, who unsurprisingly handles the vast majority of their rent. The mere fact he has a few dollars in the pocket and fewer tattoo infections doesn’t exactly make him a better person, though. In fact, it could be said that this man’s passive-aggressive behavior towards Annie is significantly worse than Brynn’s absent-minded yet constant transgressions, as he knows exactly what he’s doing when he overdoes the fake kindness routine and treats her like a child.
Which country singer is the subject of Annie’s mom’s latest portrait?
Aside from Annie awkwardly staring at this painting as she entered her mother’s house, the theme of bizarre water colors seen throughout the home could almost go unnoticed by someone not paying attention. Then again, it’s hard to miss, as in addition to this garish number, the elder Mrs. Walker apparently spends most of her time creating portraits of her favorite movie stars and musicians. A clear country theme is present, with others like Willie Nelson, Burt Reynolds, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger all plastered about her walls.
Who is Lillian’s cousin with three terrible sons?
Desperately underappreciated in her role as a wife and mother, of all the Bridesmaids, this woman could arguably use a wild night out the most. Sure, Annie’s life is in shambles, but it’s not exactly difficult, which can’t be said about trying to raise three nightmare children alongside a husband who clearly stopped caring long ago. This isn’t to say she isn’t content with her overall existence, but given the chance to go wild at a Las Vegas bachelorette party, she’s obviously going to take it.
Who is Lillian’s newlywed friend from work?
If there’s anyone in Bridesmaids who doesn’t quite feel like they belong, it’s this childish newlywed who clearly lacks the life experience the rest of them have enjoyed. Matching most other characters portrayed by eternally optimistic actress Ellie Kemper, this wide-eyed innocent has never been with a man outside of her current husband, and her idea of a romantic night out mostly involves watching her favorite Disney and Pixar movies while dreaming of being a princess. That starts to change just a little after spending time with Annie and her friends, mostly due to the alcohol.
Who is Dougie’s sister?
Loud, boisterous, and overwhelmingly confident, Annie might have been the lead actress in Bridesmaids, but this supporting character was the breakout star. Melissa McCarthy immediately stole every scene she appeared in with her unstoppable energy, earning her a rare comedic nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards. For all the bombastic hilarity she provides, this woman is also an emotional rock for every friend she makes, and it’s her motivating words that lead to Annie turning her life around. Also, before that could happen, she pooped in a sink, and how could you forget someone who did that?
What song do Annie and Helen angrily duet at the engagement party?
Typically, when two women come together for a bombastic karaoke performance, it’s because they share a great affection for one another and the song they sing. That’s not always the case, though, as seen when mountain tensions between Annie and Helen lead to them attempting to one up one another when congratulating the happy couple with engagement speeches. When the emotions got so strong they couldn’t talk about them anymore, both women did as the dramatic are wont to do and started singing about it, turning an ode to friendship into a violent battle.
Who starts a relationship with Annie after pulling her over on suspicion of a DUI?
All right, so hot or not, even Annie is well aware of the fact that Ted is almost definitely not the guy for her. On the plus side, she does eventually meet a nice, sweet cop who immediately seems to respect and appreciate her for the person she is. Naturally, unable to cope with her own potential happiness, Annie instantly bolts out of his apartment after a would be one night stand, but it does seem like these two crazy kids might just work things out in the end. Well, as long as she fixes that bloody taillight.
What celebrity shares a name with Annie’s mechanic (although spelled differently)?
Even before her fated encounter with Officer Rhodes, it’s pretty clear that Annie isn’t driving the nicest ride on the road. Dented, covered in chipped paint, and at least a decade old, Annie’s car looks like it could fall apart at any minute, and it finally does after she’s rear ended in a hit and run accident. Luckily, the kind officer gave her the business card of a great mechanic friend of his back when they first met. With firm and fair prices, he may be the best in the biz, making it easy to overlook his silly name.
Why does Annie get fired from the jewelry store?
From the first time Bridesmaids took audiences to Annie’s workplace, it was pretty clear the poor gal wasn’t going to last there very long. To begin with, she needed her mother’s help to even get the job, and there was simply no way she would ever apply herself. In fact, she’s more likely to continue the trend of self-sabotage, which is how she manages to get fired in a manner of months despite her mom remaining friends with the jewelry store manager. Of course, with what she did, her boss didn’t really have a choice.
Who does Annie move in with after she’s kicked out of her apartment?
When it rains it pours, which is why Annie loses her apartment mere seconds after getting fired, at a time she was still feeling the sting of being demoted from Lillian’s wedding planning process. In some respects, it could be argued this was the hardest blow of all, because unlike every other issue in her life, Annie wasn’t really responsible for this one—her roommates kinda kick her out for no reason. Left with nowhere else to go, Annie ends up moving to the last place she wants to live, calling the process her “rock bottom.”
What movie makes Annie burst into tears?
By and large, an adult in their 30s being forced to move back in with their parents is not exactly an ideal situation. There are minor perks, though, like always having food in the house, and not needing to pay for that all encompassing Netflix subscription. In an effort to console her daughter, this is the first thing Annie’s mom reminds her of when she returns to the homestead. Not only that, she also suggests a great Tom Hanks movie for them to enjoy together, which Annie instead chooses to watch alone.
How many dogs did Megan take from the bridal shower?
Okay, so not everyone could care for the dogs Helen gave them after Lillian’s bridal shower, but to balance things out, Megan made the independent decision to pick up the slack by taking every leftover unwanted dog she could find. She doesn’t even wait to start her collection, openly admitting she stole two dogs and put them in the back of her car before the party is even over. That’s not the end, though, as she apparently went back and took a bunch more after that, leading to quite the precarious predicament.
What support group is Annie’s mom in for no reason?
When used as intended, a support group can be a beautiful thing. The long and winding road of life isn’t always easy, and having some friendly faces who struggled the same way you have can make it that much easier to move on from hardship. Used them incorrectly, however, and support groups feel like a mere ruse where people abuse the trust of others to feed off their sad stories. No, we’re not talking about Fight Club, but it would turn out Annie’s mom took a page out of Tyler Durden’s book when she started doing this.
Where was Lillian when Annie and Helen worried she was missing?
For all the hatred and jealousies between Annie and Helen, the two women care about Lillian a whole darn lot. For this reason, when their mutual best friend goes missing the day of her wedding, they’re willing to put aside all their petty differences to find the would be runaway bride. Turns out it wasn’t quite so difficult, as Lillian was actually in a pretty predictable location the whole time. Not knowing this, Annie broke all sorts of laws to catch Officer Rhodes’s attention and get his help.
What band does Helen hire to play at the wedding?
While it’s not exactly an ornate Parisian party capped off with an actual trip to the city of love, Annie’s engagement gift to Lillian is pretty beautiful in it’s own right. Pieced together in wrapping paper that’s somehow recognizable, Annie offers her friend a trip through memory lane by way of photographs and trinkets documenting their lives together. It’s the sort of idea that not even Helen could steal, or at least it would have been, had Annie not thrown an old favorite CD into the mix. Naturally, Helen one upped her by inviting the group to the wedding.
Which two bridesmaids drunkenly kiss on the plane?
It’s never truly a bachelorette party until a few of the ladies get drunk enough to snog with one another. Although the Bridesmaids crew doesn’t make it to Vegas, the plane ride from hell intended to take them there is all they need to get absolutely wasted. On top of Annie causing a ridiculous scene, two other ladies drink Seven and Seven after Seven and Seven before sadly espousing how unsatisfied they are in their love lives. And next comes the kiss, happening so fast some audience members may have been too distracted by Annie to notice it.
Which couple makes a very disturbing romantic video that airs during the credits?
Post-credit scenes depicting a quick flash forward for all the characters have become one of the most popular trends in film these days, and Bridesmaids was one of many to cash in on the craze. Luckily for audiences looking to leave the theater quick, the producers didn’t waste much time to jump into this absurd denouement, showing one of the many happy couples from the film experiencing what they call their first romantic encounter. It’s great they managed to find love and all, but the weird part is that food is very heavily involved in the way they express it.
Which of the movie’s stars co-wrote it?
Every actress featured in Bridesmaids is hilarious in her own way, which is how the ensemble was able to instantly resonate with fans and turn the movie into such a smash hit. That said, one of them deserves special acknowledgement not only for her solid acting chops, but also for the fact she co-wrote the film. Granted, with as many talented improvisers on board as in Bridesmaids, chances are every actress brought a little bit of her own personal flair to the proceedings, but as the person who created this universe, one actress nonetheless gets extra credit for it’s success.
True or False: Bridesmaids won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Not only did Kristen Wiig earn a whole lot of attention and critical praise for her role as star and co-writer of Bridesmaids, but it also made history by nabbing her a nomination for an Academy Award. This was surprising twice over, in that comedies, especially of the gross-out variety, almost never get nominated, and on top of that, it made her the first former Saturday Night Live cast member to earn an Oscar nod for writing. That said, it’s one thing to be nominated, and it’s an entirely different sensation to actually win.
