Bridesmaids is headed into theaters in two weeks and it deserves to be a hit. The trailers, which are mostly funny, have probably led you to believe that this is some sort of Kristen Wiig, all-girl version of The Hangover, but the truth about Bridesmaids is that it’s so much more. It’s not a party movie, it’s not even really just a comedy, though there’s plenty of partying and a whole lot of funny. Look for my in-depth review of the film this week, but what you need to know for now is that it’s good. Really good.

The seven clips from Bridesmaids you’re about to watch, each in their own way, embody most of the best things about this Paul Feig directed film. Since I’ve seen it though, I’m not sure how we’ll they’ll really work out of context, or if you’ll really get just how great this movie is from watching them. Included is the start of the soon to be infamous bridal shop scene, which is on its own worth your time. Watch:
