The pair then decide to take a break from hosting talking club meetings accompanied by hot dog soup by jetting off to Vista Del Mar, where they enjoy having caricatures drawn, buying new phone cases and chatting up a mystery man played by Fifty Shades of Grey 's Jamie Dornan.

On the plus side, the film enjoyed good buzz, thanks to critical praise, awareness of US success and positive word circulating from an aggressive programme of advance free screenings.
On the minus, lead actresses Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph are both significantly less famous here than Stateside, where they served long stints on Saturday Night Live. When Bridesmaids went into production, there was always the question of whether men would accompany their partners to a film with such a chick-flick-sounding title.
The success of the picture on Friday and Saturday suggests it is performing strongly as a date movie. Weekdays tend to be the terrain for a girls' night out, so there's another potential rich market in the offing.
