Always a Bridesmaid is a Netflix produced romantic comedy written by Yvette Nicole Brown, starring Javicia Leslie and Jordan Calloway. The plot was a refreshing take on a story that has been told time and time again. It followed Corina James, played by a Leslie, and her group of friends. As Corina ages and finds success in her career, she becomes quite aware that all of her friends are getting married and begins to wonder if she will ever find love or always be the bridesmaid.
I loved that this film gave a platform for Black actors that you don’t see often. It was really nice seeing such a diverse character development and so many Black faces that I had never seen before. Javicia Leslie is one of those faces. She did a great job leading the film, her character was likeable, and she gave a lot of range in the role.
The costume design was fashion forward and sleek. The hair and makeup was very beautiful and culturally appropriate.
The themes around love, friendship, believing in yourself and opening yourself up for love were prevalent throughout. And even though this was a familiar storyline with a predictable end it was still enjoyable. Those looking for a chick flick that is light hearted and funny should check this one out.
