I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreIt's rare that a genuinely funny comedy is this heartfelt and honest. It spoke to me on a deep level and I still laugh out loud every time I see it. I'm seeing a lot of *cough* sexist *cough* reviewers saying it's crap, but they've clearly never persuaded another human to hang around them long enough to know that Bridesmaids is observational genius. Good lord, watch it for Meghan alone if nothing else!
View MoreI never enjoyed romantic comedies until they started making them like this! Filled with laughing out loud moments and a great addition of Chris O'Dowd, this is most definitely a must see movie for male or females!
View MoreI haven't watched a modern comedy in years, but on a whim, I decided to watch this one. Comedies, when mixed with drama, usually are effective when bad things happen TO the protaganist, NOT when she causes her own pain with jealousy, envy, and acting out. This movie hits rock bottom when Kirsten Wiig explodes with jealousy when a pretty friend of her best friend tops her wedding shower gift. She tries to destroy everything in her path, lashes out at strangers, causes herself to lose her job, dumps a man who sincerely cares for her, refuses to accept apologies, and generally emits poison everywhere she goes. And this is a COMEDY. No, it's not. Nor is it a drama. What it is is a depiction of what happens when a person is so mentally ill that they know that while life does not always go there that there are still people that treat you nice, but they are so self absorbed they don't even care, because they are not getting the fairy tale life.I'm trying to limp through the last 20 minutes of this, but it's hard. I am not rooting for Kirsten Wiig. She's not someone that evokes pity in this movie, but rather someone who everyone should stay away from. The Ugly American.I actually am watching the timer on my computer to see if I can stand to get to the end. 17 minutes. Apologies between the two leads at 15 minutes. The rage is real, but the apologies are those half-assed apologies you get from people who are sort of still self absorbed. So why do I give it two stars? It's the first movie I've seen with Rose Byrne. Yes, people like to look at a lovely woman, but she acts lovely on the inside, a behavior this movie desperately needs.With 8 minutes to go, the guy comes back. Why? Because of her half-assed apology a half hour earlier?An anti-climactic, soulless ending. Thank you Hollywood.
View MoreThis film is just painful to watch and should be a huge pass. I do not understand why people call it funny because all its humor was flat and downright stupid. We see transparent and useless women all have a meltdown for their friends wedding. The performances, story, romantic interests and direction all make a poor combination and atrocity for a film. How did this film even get approved to be made? The studio must be desperate for quick cash and approved something that could cater to a number of people. Well it doesn't, it is a poor excuse of a film. Hitting your head and losing your memory after watching this film so you erase it would be a godsend.
