There was definitely a lot of raunchy humor in this film, but overall it worked well. The supporting cast was great too, including Chris O'Dowd ("Gulliver's Travels") as a cop with whom Annie ends up spending time, and the late Jill Clayburgh ("Love and Other Drugs") as Annie's mother. Jon Hamm (TV's "Mad Men") also has sort of a cameo role as a "friend with benefits" to Annie, although she wants more from him and he definitely doesn't want to commit. It was fun to see him as the typical male jerk of the film: in one scene, he comes to pick up Annie when her clunker of a car dies, and cheerfully yells "Hey, f--kbuddy!" from the window of his sports car. I really liked O'Dowd's character (Officer Rhodes), and the chemistry between him and Wiig; he is sort of the anti-Jon Hamm of the movie, and someone that Annie desperately needs in her life.

Yes, see this movie - just be forewarned that it's rated "R" for a reason. There were only a few "eww" moments in terms of "potty humor" and whatnot, but there's a lot of sexual content and profanity in it. If you are looking for a comedy that has a lot of heart, however, you will do well in seeing Bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids is in theaters today, May 13th.
