Bridesmaids is not only entertaining but also highly relatable. I watched it when it premiered in 2011 and I was 18 at the time. I just found it to be an okay rom-com. But watching it again 13 years later, I find it to be a trove of relatable plotlines.
I totally relate to evolving friendships- someone who was once your BFF may not be after some time due to changing circumstances. You may not be as close as you once were.
I also completely get how difficult it can be when everyone else in your circle is stable, financially and relationship-wise and you feel like the odd one out. The pressure builds up when others want expensive things because they can afford forgetting that not everyone is at the same level.
Finally, there's the aspect of trying to pull yourself back up when your business fails. Recently harsh economic times have forced many businesses to close. While the movie didn't reveal whether Annie opened her bakery business again, you could tell that she was leaning towards that and baking was her passion. So I can only hope that she found a way to rebuild since she was broke and living with her mom.
I love this film. It's empowering and would highly recommend it.
