Bridesmaids 2: Save the Date (2026) is here to deliver the wild, heartwarming, and absolutely chaotic adventure fans have been waiting for! Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, and Melissa McCarthy, this sequel brings back your favorite dysfunctional group of friends for a bachelorette party in Mexico that’s anything but ordinary. With wedding bells ringing for Annie (Wiig) and Officer Rhodes, the stakes couldn’t be higher — but, of course, so are the antics. What should have been a sophisticated getaway turns into a full-blown disaster of epic proportions as Annie and her gang navigate wedding prep, tequila-fueled mishaps, and a night that lands them behind bars in a Mexican prison. Get ready for the ultimate bridesmaids reunion filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable chaos.

Annie, now gearing up to marry the man of her dreams, is feeling the pressure of wedding planning, and of course, it’s Lillian (Maya Rudolph), her ever-enthusiastic best friend, who takes it upon herself to organize the bachelorette party to end all bachelorette parties. What was supposed to be a relaxing, elegant escape quickly morphs into a whirlwind of disaster. From disastrous dress fittings that end in hysterical tears (and a few spilled margaritas) to a tequila-fueled night that goes way too far, this bachelorette party has all the makings of a comedy classic.
But, of course, no party is complete without the unpredictable Megan (Melissa McCarthy), whose chaos knows no bounds. Megan’s larger-than-life personality wreaks havoc on the already out-of-control situation, setting off a chain of events that leaves them banned from an entire country’s airspace. McCarthy brings the same unapologetic humor and over-the-top antics that made Megan the breakout character in the first film, and this time, her wild energy adds another layer of hilarity to the already ridiculous events.

Helen (Rose Byrne) returns as the well-meaning, tech-savvy “control freak” of the group, doing her best to rein in the madness with her elaborate plans and technological solutions. As usual, her attempts to keep things on track only seem to make everything worse. Her good intentions are constantly undermined by the sheer chaos of the crew, especially Megan’s unpredictable nature and the growing absurdity of the weekend’s events. Byrne’s performance continues to bring her character’s uptight yet lovable qualities to the forefront, providing the perfect counterbalance to the more eccentric members of the group.
As the night goes from bad to worse, the bonds of friendship are put to the ultimate test. The group’s journey through the mishaps of the bachelorette party becomes more than just a series of hilarious accidents — it’s about how their friendship has survived all the ups and downs over the years. Despite all the craziness, the women realize that no matter how wild the ride, they have each other’s backs, and that’s what truly matters.
From laughing at the ridiculousness of their situation to supporting each other through the inevitable drama, Bridesmaids 2 showcases the unbreakable bond these women share. The heart of the film lies in their loyalty to each other, even when everything is falling apart around them. The comedy is relentless, with each moment of chaos leading to even bigger, more outrageous laughs. But underneath the slapstick moments, there’s a genuine emotional depth to the friendships that makes the film both tear-jerking and uproarious in equal measure.

The film’s pacing ensures that there’s never a dull moment, with each scene escalating in absurdity. Whether they’re sneaking through a luxurious resort in the middle of the night or dealing with the aftermath of their wild antics, the laughs keep coming. The chemistry between the cast members remains just as strong as it was in the first film, with their individual quirks and dynamics continuing to bring out the best in each other.
Bridesmaids 2 also dives into some of the more heartfelt moments, such as Annie’s anxiety about her upcoming wedding and the support she receives from her friends. These moments of vulnerability add depth to the humor, creating a perfect balance of emotional payoff and side-splitting comedy. At the heart of the chaos is a story about the strength of friendship, the challenges of growing up, and learning to embrace the wild ride of life.
In the final act, the chaos reaches its peak, but so does the bond between these women. Whether they’re dealing with family issues, old rivalries, or unexpected revelations, the group rallies together to make sure Annie’s big day goes off without a hitch. The finale is both hilarious and heartwarming, with each character getting their moment to shine and reminding us that, despite the madness, they are stronger together.

Verdict: ★★★★★ (9/10) — Bridesmaids 2: Save the Date is everything fans loved about the first film and more — louder, funnier, and with even more heart.
