With a little help from producer Judd Apatow, SNL alum Kristen Wiig and her Groundlings writing partner Annie Mumolo developed their first screenplay into a blockbuster hit that earned them an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay—a rarity for raunchy comedies. The sketch comediennes spent four-and-a-half years shaping the story; making it funny was the easy part. The bodily fluids that flow from the set pieces are merely the icing on a complex structure that masterfully weaves an A story of bridal-party rivalry with a touching B-story romance. Explore the many screenwriting lessons to be learned from this ScripTipps analysis of BRIDESMAIDS.
