Test4VitalSigns Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Just came back from taking the girlfriend to see Bridesmaids.... FRIKKIN' HILARIOUS! Kristen Wiig was awesome. Melissa McCarthy (Molly on Mike and Molly) stole some scenes as well. The whole theatre was laughing big time throughout the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible that there was a worthwhile tradeoff. But admitting he liked it. . .yeah, Testy, you're sort of stuck on that one. I can't help you.

invisible airwave Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm gonna go see it this weekend. Most of the Apatow movies are good and I've heard rave reviews so I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) It's not a chick flick. Much funnier than The Hangover to me, to which it's compared. It's nothing brilliant, but it was very fresh and spry....and funnier than most films today, whatever that's worth. As a complete sidebar, I love how guys want to revoke man cards for seeing movies with mostly women in them...as opposed to mostly guys. Or seeing a film with a shirtless "The Rock" slapping around other muscular guys or some such thing -- versus spend two hours a bevy of beautiful ladies. Talk about irony!!

I agree 100% I thought 300 was about as gay as movies get. I couldn't watch it. My wife who hates nloody movies liked watching for all the male posing that was going on. Me? I'd rather the watch a movie like The Ugly Trurh (ha! same lead actor ), or anything with Jennifer Anniston in it. I'll admit I was not amped about seeing Bridesmaids, but it does look funny and would have given it a shot. Now, I;m going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I saw this film on Thursday, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It wasn't a typical romantic comedy/chick-flick at all, which was good because I hate those kinds of movies. The story was a bit predictable, but the jokes were fresh and funny and there was some great physical comedy as well. The characters were likable, the humour was not dependent upon making people look stupid and wrong, and best of all, it never got cloying and sappy even at the end. Definitely a film that a man should be able to enjoy without having to worry about the state of his testicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liddybuck01 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 ok, this movie was really not that great, and it is certainly not as funny as people are making it out to be. YES, it IS a chick flick. but no, it's not like others. the main difference being the main character is less phony that other leading ladies in these films, and there is more graphic language. that's it. as a female, i went with high hopes that it would be good, despite the fact that i can't stand Kristen Wiig. well, the story was interesting, and at times was sort of relatable in the fact that she was losing her childhood best friend, which i've been though, but they rest seemed like a generic rom-com/chick flick to me. i even took my husband. he went knowing it was a Apatow film, and, going off of reviews stating otherwise, that it was NOT a chick flick. he was angry and bored within the first half hour. i thought he was going to say we should leave. i only saw him chuckle a few times, but really no burst out hilarious moments. a lot of time was wasted on scenes that lasted way too long. seems like with that lost time they could've had more scenes with, who i thought was the stand out character, the cousin Rita played by Wendy McLoven-Covey. any scene she was in was funny. Ellie Kemper was great, too. i did not like the character of the sister in law played by Melissa McCarthy. they were trying a little too hard to make her seem weird and outlandish, similar to Zach Galifianakis' character in the Hangover. it just wasn't working for me. honestly, the only really funny part to me was when she freaked out at her bachelorette party. honestly, i would wait to rent this one and not waste $10 to see it at the theater.
