Film: “Bridesmaids” to cavort at Red Rocks
Tuesday. “Bridesmaids” was the breakout comedy of 2011, easily answering one of the industry’s never-ending debates: Are women as funny as men? The (ridiculous) question is answered within the first several minutes of the film, in which writer/star Kristin Wiig has comically bad sex, then mimes a particular part of that comically bad sex to her best friend (Maya Rudolph). The film grossed nearly $300 million worldwide and scored two Academy Award nominations — best supporting actress for Melissa McCarthy and best original screenplay for Wiig and Annie Mumolo. It’s a chick flick that’s more than safe for the bravado boyfriend; a comedy that’s equally edgy and heartwarming. Tickets for Tuesday’s Film on the Rocks screening at Red Rocks (18300 W. Alameda Parkway., Morrison) are $12-$50 at .
