What to Read Next

However, a series of stressful (yet hilarious) mishaps cause her to have a breakdown and push everyone away, and she must work to get everything back on track.

Bridesmaids has an 89% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, with plenty of reviews – including Digital Spy's own 5-star review – praising Wiig for her standout performance and a script that delivers a constant stream of one-liners and physical humour alike.

There have been plenty of calls for a sequel since its release, and in 2023, Rose Byrne said she would be up for getting the gang back together.

"I would do a Bridesmaids sequel this afternoon, right now," Byrne said at the time. "That group of women was the most magical thing ever. Almost all of us were really good friends already. I think it was such a magical time."

The star also noted that a sequel would be a "hard act to follow", given the popularity of the original film.

Bridesmaids can be streamed now on ITVX.
