Much was made abundantly clear after the runaway smash success of "Bridemaids" last summer, perhaps the central two points being audiences of all shapes and sizes will flock in droves to female-lead comedies if they're genuinely funny (not always the case), and Kristen Wiig is a bonafide star that can lead her own feature.

Comedianne Melissa McCarthy stole most of the show and earned a supporting Oscar nomination for her hilarious efforts.
