But the actor does not want to see the film again for one important reason
As it turns out, Wiig’s aversion is to look again Bridesmaids has nothing to do with the film itself. After all, it’s more about how she does not like herself on television. Despite several years on SNL, Wiig is not a fan of looking at her own material, she told InStyle.
