Did you know?
- The Ultimate Reunion: The show-stopping finale of the movie features a live performance of the 1990 pop anthem 'Hold On' by Wilson Phillips. Director Paul Feig and producer Judd Apatow were huge fans of the band and spent months securing the rights and getting Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips to reunite on-screen for the wedding scene, which became one of the most beloved movie endings of the 2000s.
- Baking with Fiona Apple: The scene where Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig) meticulously bakes a single, gorgeous flower-topped cupcake in her kitchen—only to eat it alone in silence—is set to Fiona Apple's raw, emotional ballad 'Paper Bag'. The song's bittersweet lyrics and instrumentation perfectly mirror Annie's crushing loneliness and longing for connection.
- Brazilian Food Disasters: When Annie treats the bridal group to lunch at a local Brazilian churrascaria, the upbeat indie-pop song 'Do-Wah-Doo' by British singer Kate Nash plays in the background. The song's cheerful, sunny beat serves as a highly ironic backdrop for the food poisoning disaster that ensues shortly after during the wedding dress fitting.
- Roadside Rage: Following Annie's explosive falling out with Lillian at the bridal shower, she drives away in a fit of rage while blasting the raw grunge rock anthem 'Violet' by Hole. The intense guitar riffs and Courtney Love's screaming vocals capture Annie's overwhelming frustration as her life seemingly falls apart.
