Description
Ensemble comedies are usually light and breezy, and that's true of our double feature tonight as well - but even our picks have crowd-pleasing, sit-com-like setups, these films both use this to dig into far deeper material than is the norm for this genre. Up first: Kristen Wiig's megahit Bridesmaids, directed by Paul Feig, which was sold as the female answer to The Hangover, but is so much more than that - followed by Pedro Almodóvar's outlandish indie smash Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, which introduces us to baby Antonio Banderas!
