Bridesmaids is one of those rare movies that never feels old and is still loved by fans even more than 12 years after its release. Starring Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, this rom-com leaned far more into comedy than romance, showing an unfiltered look at life’s messier moments. From chaotic breakups and jealousy to female friendship and love, the film packed in every emotional nuance while cleverly challenging traditional romantic-comedy tropes.

Bridesmaids still feels just as entertaining on a rewatch. No wonder many are eager to revisit the film and enjoy a good laugh before the rom-com releases of 2026 arrive this year. So, where can viewers stream Bridesmaids now?

 Bridesmaids is not available on Netflix. However, the film is currently available to rent on Amazon Prime Video. At its heart, Bridesmaids follows Annie, a down-on-her-luck woman whose life takes an odd turn when her best friend asks her to be the maid of honor. This quickly turns into a competition filled with jealousy, social mishaps, and one unforgettable bridal party disaster after another. 

As Annie clashes with the effortlessly perfect Helen and struggles to keep her own life together, the film is packed with both comedy and surprisingly honest moments about friendship and insecurity. What makes Bridesmaids such a great watch is how it is ridiculous in the best way, and has strong performances from Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Maya Rudolph.

By the time this movie is over, one is most likely to crave its sequel, and while that may just fall in the wishful thinking basket, there is a fan deemed sister movie to the 2011 hit.

After watching Bridesmaids, Bachelorette is the perfect movie to watch. One common detail of Bridesmaids and Bachelorette is the chaos. The story of the latter focuses on three longtime friends, Regan, Gena, and Katie, who reunite for the wedding of a former high-school classmate, Becky, whom they once looked down on. 

  This film has the same string of chaos, jealousy, old grudges, bad decisions, and much more. This one cannot be missed. Moreover, Rebel Wilson, who starred in Bridesmaid also stars in this movie. 

 Both movies are unique in their own way and different from the usual rom-coms. However, what both promise is how the flawed characters are relatable and the never-ending humor throughout the movies.
