Bridesmaids - The Movie, Discussion with Spoilers
Finally went to see Bridesmaids on Monday night. The whole movie I just wanted to wash and comb Kristen Wiig's hair. Whoever did hair and make-up on that movie should be chased out of LA.
OK, it was funny, I enjoyed it, I believe it's a comedy that guys probably liked, but really, did we need the scene of women throwing up on each other and doing that thing I can't say here in the sink and on the street? Really? Can a film not be considered a comedy unless stuff like that happens? Also, the meltdown at the bridal shower - completely unrealistic, not very funny, and also not necessary. Puppies as party favors? Comedy gold! Cliched slapstick ruining of the giant cookie and the chocolate fountain? C'mon writers, be better than that! Or in the immoral words of Homer Simpson, "Be funnier!"
I guess what I'm saying is even though I enjoyed it and I would recommend it, I'm disappointed that it didn't try to be just a little bit better instead of falling back on some of the same kind of crass humor that every other comedy gunning for an R rating throws at us.
Jon Hamm? I love Jon Hamm.
