He takes her to try out his speed gun on West Gonzales Road at Jeep Trail, to the north of Oxnard – toward the coast and away from mountains, standing in for a flat, green stretch of the Midwest.Īfter a planned trip to Las Vegas goes horribly wrong, and Lillian decides that Helen should organise the wedding, Annie goes off to drown her sorrows with Officer Rhodes. It’s way to the south of LA, to find Jay’s Liquor Market, 14627 Crenshaw Boulevard, at West 147th Street in Gardena, where Annie bumps into Irish cop Nathan Rhodes ( Chris O’Dowd). It’s on Spring Street that the stricken Lillian embarrasses herself in the posh designer wedding dress. An old Bank of America building, it’s a screen veteran, seen in Se7en, Spider-Man 2, Marathon Man, The Mask and plenty of other films. The exterior of ‘Belle en Blanc’, the swanky bridal store to which Helen gets entrance, is a familiar old location – 650 Spring Street, downtown Los Angeles.

And, don’t worry, it’s only a movie – the food here is just fine. It’s actually a Mexican restaurant, and the rear parking lot entrance that’s seen. The restaurant to which Annie takes Lillian and the girls to experience authentic Brazilian cuisine is La Sirenita, 14032 Oxnard Street, east of Hazeltine Avenue in Van Nuys.
The club also provided the tennis court where Annie has a desperately competitive match with the glamorous Helen Harris ( Rose Byrne), as well as the exterior of the final wedding venue. There are a couple of views of Chicago (the Chicago River, the Navy Pier), but ‘Sheffield Hunt Club’, where Lillian holds her engagement party, is Sherwood Country Club, 320 West Stafford Road, Thousand Oaks. To the south of the city, the apartment Annie shares with the weird Gil ( Matt Lucas) and his weirder sister, is 2501 South Kinnickinnic Avenue at East Homer Street, in Bay View.
Using the wonders of technology the store name was changed digitally. There’s just a little of the real Milwaukee, including the exterior of ‘Cholodecki’s’, the jewellery store in which Annie spreads her message of disillusion – and gets fired after dropping the C bomb – which was an empty store at 1009 Mitchell Street, at South 10th Street, in the Historic Mitchell Street district. Something else you won’t see is ‘Joni’s’, the bakery where Annie and best friend forever Lillian ( Maya Rudolph) talk sex – and Annie does her wicked, one-eyed penis impersonation – which existed only on the Paramount backlot in Hollywood. There’s little to see – what with those pesky high gates. The classy modern home of friend-with-occasional-benefits Ted ( Jon Hamm), where Annie Walker ( Kristen Wiig) is stranded atop the automated gate, is bang in the centre of the Hollywood-friendly San Fernando Valley, at 3722 Sapphire Drive, opposite Tudor Drive, in Encino. This seems a little unfair on Milwaukee, which hasn’t hosted a great number of films – though you can see some of its historic sights in Michael Mann’s Public Enemies. Set in Milwaukee and Chicago, there were only a couple of days grabbing establishing shots in the cities – the film was made firmly around Los Angeles. If the Judd Apatow comedy factory seemed a bit laddish, here’s one for the girls every bit as joyously crude.
