FEATURED JOBS
Comments (0)Judd Apatow and Paul Feig aren’t interested in making weepy “chick flicks,” so don’t expect their upcoming offering, “Bridesmaids,” to be a “Fried Green Tomatoes.”
“The whole goal of making this movie was to make a very funny, very honest movie about women in a way that they’re not normally made,” director Feig (best known for creating the immortal “Freaks And Geeks”) told Entertainment Weekly. “Both Judd and I feel women are very much underserved by modern comedy, because it’s all so guy-centric.”
“Bridesmaids,” which stars “SNL’s” Kristen Wiig (who co-wrote the script), is about a dorky maid of honor dealing with the wedding of her best pal (Maya Rudolph) and four very wild bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper).
“If you’ve ever overheard a group of women together, it’s not a tea party most of the time,” said Feig. “It was important for us to do that so when women come to see the movie, they would go, like, ‘Oh God, that’s just like my friends – maybe a funnier version of my friends.’”
