Hey Bridesmaids producer Judd Apatow, you got your fart joke in my rom-com! (No, you got your rom-com in my fart joke!) Yes, the Knocked Up director’s raunchy humor is quite present in the second trailer for the romantic comedy for ladies — but so is director (and Freaks and Geeks creator) Paul Feig’s heart. Yes, even despite the tragic absence of Jon Hamm in this trailer, I continue to be optimistic about the Kristen Wiig-starring Bridesmaids, a film that looks just as genuine as it looks funny. Perhaps that’s because I have a weakness for Chicago-set movies, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that the film boasts one of the most scene-stealing batches of supporting actors I’ve seen in any comedy in years: Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live), Ellie Kemper (The Office), Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly), Rose Byrne (Damages), and Wendi McLendon-Covey (Reno 911!). In fact, Bridesmaids just may give “chick flick” a good name.
Click the jump to watch why being asked to be maid of honor is every woman’s worst nightmare. (Just kidding — I wouldn’t know that, since I have no friends.) And raise your hand if you hope you never hear “I ate Saturday” ever in your life.

‘Bridesmaids’ trailer: Director Paul Feig talks making an R-rated comedy about, and for, women
Kristen Wiig is not the maid of honor in a movie just kidding she is and Rose Byrne is a bridesmaid
So excited to see this movie! As a 7 time former bridesmaid, this movie is right up my alley!
The first trailer from a few months ago looked much better. Now I’m worried about this flick.
Oh Jenny stop being sad. I’m sure something else will be up your alley soon enough.
*raises hand*
yeesh!
If only Judy Greer was in it too. Then it would have the best set of scene-stealing supporting actors ever.
If only Judy Greer was in place of Kristen Wiig. I just don’t find her funny, and she would ruin this movie for me. I don’t plan on seeing it b/c of her. If Judy Greer was the main character, I would be all over this movie!
I thought the first trailer looked pretty awful, this at least seems better.
I’m SHOCKED Judy Greer is not in this. She is the queen of the onscreen bestfriends lol
Is it sad to say the thing I was most excited about is Chris O’Dowd? I’m one of the only people I know from the US that knows who he is. Glad Hollywood is picking up on how adorable he is
I love Chris O’Dowd too! I’m a huge IT crowd fan, I show the dvds to all my friends and they all end up loving the show. I’ll def want to see his performance in this.
I could eat Chris O’Dowd alive,I think he’s so cute.
I love Rose Byrne.
i second that. Rose Byrne is awesome.
It would have been really cool if Wiig and Rudolph got some of their other SNL ladies to do quick cameos in this movie, like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Rachel Dratch.
I hope they purposely left all the funny parts out of the trailer.
@ Kaite. No it’s not sad I perked up when I saw Chris O’ Dowd as well. I’m just wondering if he’s going to be sporting an American accent in this. I couldn’t tell from the clips and also Yay! Matt Lucas is in this too!
You left Roy from The IT Crowd (Chris O’Dowd) off of your list of buzz-worthy supporting players! Although I would probably be even more exited if it were Moss making a cameo.
I ate Saturday!
The first trailer didn’t look so hot…this one not so bad. Maybe make it a matinee movie…you know…before 6 PM?
This looks god awful
Also, I noticed Tim from “Tim and Eric, Awesome show Great Job” as Maya Rudolph’s… fiancee? He is freaking hilarious.
