Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) has received a lot of very positive feedback for her role in the movie Bridesmaids. Her character, Megan, is described by the MTV Movies Blog as “the tough-as-nails and most absurdly inappropriate member of an already rowdy group of bridesmaids,” saying it is a breakout role for Melissa. She’s been described also as a scene stealer.
EW interviews Melissa and talks about how this film could lead to better roles for women in films and on tv.
If you see a script with two great female parts it’s a win. But six! Six in a movie, six fully formed great characters.
Melissa is finally getting her props as an actress and roles are now being written specifically for her – no more sidekick parts! Director of Bridesmaids Paul Felg is writing a romantic comedy centring on Melissa.
Great news for Melissa!!
Awesome!!!
