Can Kristen Wiig Handle a Female Fight Club With These Bridesmaids?

New comedy from producer Judd Apatow lets an all-star cast of hilarious actresses take center stage

It might be a huge honor, but it aslo sounds like being someone's maid of honor is a stressful, full-time job. And if you're Kristen Wiig, just reading the list of "duties" is enough to have you chugging wine straight from the bottle.

She isn't entirely on her own though. Bridesmaids is the latest laughfest from producer Judd Apatow, and while Wiig might have the top spot, she's getting plenty of help from the rest of the bridal entourage...And it seems like things are coming together nicely.

Seriously, this team, made up of Rose Byrne, Ellie Kemper (The Office), Wendi McLendon-Covey (Reno 911) and Meilissa McCarthy (Gilmore Girls), is up to the task...they even have their own AC/DC theme music!

Just check out this list of ideas for the bachelorette party: Sure there's your basic princess theme, but what about a Versace meets the Gold Rush motif? Maybe something that involves tanned gentlemen that swallow fire? Hey, female fight club is still on the table...

Have to say we like Apatow's approach here. There are plenty of raunchy bachelor party comedies out there, but it's great to see a hilarious, raunchy and modern take that lets some of today's funniest actresses play to their strengths without holding back.

Check out the trailer and tell us what you think. Bridesmaids hits theaters May 13.
