Revenge of the Bridesmaids

This is a great movie! My youngest (6) and I watch it a lot. It's funny, simple story line, and satisfying.

Two childhood friends make a trip back home and find their third friend lost her love to the fourth of their group. Through hilarious encounters and flubs, they find the truth and turn the tables on the evil not-so-great-friend with an ultimate revenge that encompasses the entire town.

During their escapades, one finds love, one confronts her weight, and other learns to stand up for what's hers.

And one learns...you can't have everything.

My favorite quote: "That b.... That bii.. THAT BIIIIIIIITCH!!!" I can't get it perfect, but it's so funny.

Watched this movie all the time when I couldn't find anything interesting on netflix, it's a simple plot, has the same vibe as "hello sister goodbye life"! Another great film btw.

I happened to catch this movie a while back and gave it a shot because I like Raven-Symone and Beth Broderick. Of course, with this movie you need to keep in mind that it's an ABC Family original movie, so it'd be silly to have high expectations.

Yes, I noticed a big issue 20 minutes before the characters did, and knew exactly how things would turn out for the bridesmaids halfway through the movie, but I still enjoyed it. No, the movie will probably not wow you. I honestly can't remember laughing a single time throughout (but I think the "Saw" movies are funny, so that probably says something.) The acting was fine, and the plot was just okay, but I did like the Raven and Joanna Garcia dynamic.

In my opinion, it was just a pretty standard ABC Family TV movie. If you enjoy this type, you'll probably like it. If not, you won't.

Abigail Scanlon (Raven-Symoné), Parker Wald (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), and Rachel Phipps (Chryssie Whitehead) are lifelong friends. As kids, they were befriended by rich Caitlyn McNabb (Virginia Williams) and her gold-digging mother Olivia (Beth Broderick). Abigail goes on to write a successful book. Parker is a struggling NY actress. Rachel stayed home with longterm boyfriend Tony Penning. Abigail and Parker go home shocked to find Caitlyn's expected groom to be Tony and a humiliated Rachel as her bridesmaid. Olivia is on her fourth marriage. Local cop Henry Kent is taken with Parker. Abigail and Parker vow to sabotage the wedding from the inside.

Despite coming before Bridesmaids, this can't help being overshadowed by its more famous cousin. Raven and JoAnna are functional TV comedic actresses. They should be getting into all kinds of irreverent hijinx but they are often hampered by sad sack Rachel's story. It needs to be more fun than this.

Raven as Abigail Scanlon and Joanna Garcia as Parker Wald return to their hometown and learn that their old friend Rachel has lost her boyfriend to the awful gold-digging and perfect Caitlyn. The two friends decide to go rogue and interrupt the wedding to get the groom back for Rachel. I'm not going to kid you, it's childish and poorly acted. But Raven-Symoné is hilarious. Even the secondary romance, no matter how cute the guy, is pretty lame. ....... Look, I know it's nothing more than a chick flick. But it is entertaining and fun and light-hearted. You'll enjoy it. Why can't Raven-Symone' be my best friend?
