Our theme

"You are more beautiful than Cinderella! You smell like pine needles, and have a face like sunshine."

Why Bridesmaids

 * We wanted a theme that would be relatable and would connect all of our ideas together.
 * This is also a well known movie for the college demographic making it easy to keep everyone entertained.
 * This is just a very funny/enjoyable movie to watch.
 * There are different scenes that WikidAwesome can relate to.
 * If you are a Communication major you will see a lot of parallels to different aspects of this department.

How we relate
If you watch this movie, you will see a lot of enjoyable scenes that will make you laugh, cry, angry, or whatever emotion you would like to feel. This is a great, well-rounded film for that. But as a group, we saw it as a great theme for this project. Why? When you see this film, you will see each stage of group development. We found this to be important, especially for a communication group. Here are the 5 Stages of group development and how it relates back to the film.
 * 1) Forming- This is in the beginning of the movie. Annie goes to the wedding and meets all of the different bridesmaids. She gets a feel of each personality and can tell which group members she will get along with and the ones she will not.
 * 2) Storming- This is very clear, especially when the two personalities of Helen and Annie work together. Each of them butt heads until one of them eventually gives up. This is also clear when the group is trying to come up with a bachelorette party:  Las Vegas or a cabin getaway?
 * 3) Norming- This stage takes a bit longer to get to because of all the issues this group had. But eventually it does come around when everyone starts to see what is best and not for the best. If you would like a time reference, this happens right around the time when Annie has a meltdown.
 * 4) Perfoming- Finally, Annie and Helen set aside their differences and come together. This allows everyone to be happy, and the wedding was successful.
 * 5) Adjourning- The final stage. Everyone is happy again and kind of getting along when it is time to part ways. Some of them stay in contact while others never speak again. Either way, the end product will show them if it was successful or not.Bridesmaids Official Trailer 1 - (2011) HD-0
