Man, talk about being late this week. As Deb said, we saw Bridesmaids for week 20. I didn't have quite as many expectations going into this movie as Deb did. First of all, I didn't get to see Hangover so I wasn't really comparing it to anything. Mainly, I just wanted to get a good laugh. And I got it.
When you go to these types of movies there is always a chance that all the funny parts are in the previews. I felt like a lot of the funny parts were in the previews but there were still some waiting on the sidelines. It seems like it's been a long time since I've been to a movie that's made me laugh out loud. This one had a few scenes that made me tear up I was laughing so hard. It felt good.
I liked all the characters in the movie but I have to agree with Deb that Melissa McCarthy's character really stole the show. She played one of the bridesmaids and she was hilarious. I remember her from a small part in The Back-up Plan and she made me laugh out loud in that too.
The main character was played by Kristen Wiig and I think she was a good fit. She's a Saturday Night Live'r so she has that comedy background which was obvious but she had a sincere quality about her too. Surprisingly the movie had a touching side and she played the part well. Because of this I think it would definitely fit the bill for a chick flick. It had just enough relationship stuff going on that it wasn't just a straight up comedy.
To Sum it up: Funny, just barely over the top and a teenie tug on your heart strings.
