Bridesmaids is a 2011 American comedy directed by Paul Feig, written by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo. Wiig stars as Annie Walker, a struggling, single bakery owner whose life is falling apart when her best friend Lillian, played by Maya Rudolph, announces her engagement. Annie is appointed maid of honor but finds herself competing for Lillian's affection with Helen Harris III, played by Rose Byrne, the elegant, wealthy wife of the groom's boss whose effortless perfection makes Annie's failures more glaring.

The bridal party — including Melissa McCarthy as the outrageous, sexually aggressive Megan — provides an ensemble of distinct comedic voices. Bridesmaids was a landmark for women in comedy, proving that a female-led, R-rated comedy could compete with the Apatow-produced male-ensemble films that had dominated the genre. Melissa McCarthy's breakout performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

The food-poisoning dress-fitting scene became the film's most talked-about set piece. Bridesmaids earned $288 million worldwide on a $32 million budget.
