Bridesmaids
One of the most important scenes
in the movie in my opinion is the toast to Lillian from Helen and Annie. The girls
get up to do their toast and by the time one girl is done saying something the
other will already have the microphone in her hand about to go off rambling up a
recent trip to Paris or a ridiculous childhood story, depending on who was
speaking. The girls continued to say something more extravagant or more
memorable to Lillian for a few minutes until they not so gracefully end in
singing a duet to Lillian. They were both a few champagne glasses in and having
aggressive fun but still didn’t save Annie from enjoying her company any more
than it did when they first met. In fact it made it worse.

I believe this scene is important because it is first where Helen
and Annie meet. The scene sets up what the rest of the film is going to be like
because it lets you know right off the bat Helen and Annie are competing and
will continue to compete for Lillian’s attention throughout the film. Helen and
Annie are Lillian’s best friends. Annie, her long term childhood friend, has been
chosen over Helen to be her maid of honor. But that is not the issue at first. Their
fighting and distrust in the movie adds much of the humor contained.
The scene occurs during Lillian’s Engagement party which is being
held at Helen’s extraordinary home. Right before the scene you are introduced to
Annie’s mother, who in my opinion is not that important to the story. The scene
occurs a little under 1/3 through the movie. The following scene after the engagement
party was important because it was when Annie is first introduced to officer \Roads
who continues to remain in Annie’s life throughout the film.
