The 8 Best Female Buddy Comedies

Good female buddy comedies are hard to come by, so when we find one we like, we latch on. We love to see great female friendships portrayed with humor on the big screen. Melissa McCarthy has been steadily doing her part to try to revive the genre over the past few years, by appearing in films like The Heat and Bridesmaids. The success of her work perhaps inspired this week’s latest release – Hot Pursuit – starring Reese Witherspoon as an uptight cop and Sofia Vergara as the fiery widow of a drug dealer whom she’s tasked with protecting. Allow us to revisit some of our other favorite female buddy comedies.
