History YMMV / Bridesmaids

** Lillian can come off this way for her attitude towards Annie. Of course she has a lot on her plate with her wedding coming up, but her childhood friend is clearly going through a rough patch in her life and Lillian's anger at her can come off as [[ItsAllAboutMe just being upset that Annie is disrupting her plans]].

** Lillian can come off this way for her attitude towards Annie. She's obviously got a lot on her plate with her wedding coming up, but her childhood friend is obviously going through a rough patch in her life, and Lillian being angry with her can come off as [[ItsAllAboutMe just being upset that Annie is disrupting her plans]].

** Annie. Like most cases of this, she suffers enough to elicit sympathy, but her suffering is self-inflicted by her own {{jerkass}} behavior. Plenty of her misfortunes could be avoided, or at least downplayed, if she took more responsibility for her actions and didn't have quite as much of a victim complex. This makes it that much more heartwarming in the film when she finally owns up to her actions.

* OneSceneWonder:
** Lillian's dad in both of his scenes is pretty memorable.
** Annie's CrazyAwesome mother.
** Annie's roommates.

* CrazyAwesome: Megan.

* GirlShowGhetto: The general consensus is that this was averted.

* HarsherInHindsight: Imagine how "Bill Cozbi" must be feeling post-2014.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Megan. Melissa [=McCarthy=] was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for a reason.

* FridgeBrilliance: Megan thinks the guy beside her on the plane is an air marshal. How would she know? [[spoiler:She mentions later in the film that she has top-level security clearance, so it's likely she's seen his name/face on a list of air marshals or something, because he is one.]]
* GirlShowGhetto: General consensus is that this was averted.
* HarsherInHindsight: Imagine how Bill Cosby must be feeling post-2014.
* HoYay: The close friendship between Annie and the bride Helen comes off as this.
** The way Annie and Megan compete over who can impress Helen best.
** Rita and Becca getting drunk and sharing a kiss on an airplane.

Plenty of her suffering could be avoided or at least downplayed if she took more responsibility for her own actions and didn't have quite as much of a victim complex, which makes it that much more heartwarming when she does.
** Helen also becomes this, as it's revealed that she keeps muscling in on the wedding as a way of compensating for her own miserable and lonely life.

** Lillian's dad is in both of his scenes.
** Annie's CrazyAwesome mother as well.
** Annie's roomates count as well.

** The scene in the bridal shop.
** Also Megan and Air Marshal John's sex scene.

** Helen's reveal of her own problems and insecurities to make the audience see that she isn't the AlphaBitch Annie sees her as can fall flat when one looks back at the rest of the film and realizes how often she's gone out of her way to upstage and embarrass Annie. May be partly intentional, as just like Annie, Helen has her own problems and doesn't always handle them the best way.
** Though it was wrong of Annie to cut off Rhodes the way she did, the way he constantly pushes the bakery issue and even buys a bunch of baking-related equipment even though it's clearly a sore spot for her makes him look really insensitive. Sure, he meant well, but he won't let the subject drop even when Annie clearly says she doesn't want to talk about it.
** Lillian for being mean to Annie comes under this. She's obviously got a lot on her plate with her wedding coming up, but her friend is obviously going through a rough patch in her life, and Lillian being angry with her can come off as her [[ItsAllAboutMe just being upset that Annie is disrupting her plans]].

** Though it was wrong of Annie to cut off Rhodes the way she did, the way he constantly pushes the bakery issue and even buys a bunch of baking-related equipment even though it's clearly a sore spot for her makes him look really insensitive. Sure, he meant well, but he won't let the subject drop even when Annie clearly says she doesn't want to talk about it. While their relationship up until this point has been fairly adorable, in reality they've had only a few conversations and had sex once — he's not exactly in a position to dig up her skeletons and give her life advice. On the flip side, while he's not exactly going about it the best way and could perhaps dial it back a bit, ultimately it's just baking, and he's only trying to help her rediscover her confidence and passions and demonstrate that he's willing to share and encourage her interests. Annie's response, while not entirely unjustified, is still disproportionate and indicative of her own inability to see past her own self-loathing.

** This can be read as (partly) intentional, however, since we're not exactly supposed to support Helen's actions throughout the movie either; the revelation simply suggests that the situation is more complicated than Helen simply being a typical one-dimensional AlphaBitch trying to upstage Annie out of pure spite, that Annie isn't the only one who has her own problems and issues to address, and that neither of them have been going about trying to solve those problems in the best or right way.

* Lillian for being mean to Annie comes under this. She's doing it only because she's trying to get through her own wedding, so opinion is divided over whether she should have been nicer.
