I thought this was absolutely brill and a good antidote to the seriousness of The First Grader which i went to see the night before. Was side splittingly funny with a witty script and memorable characters. My sister and i danced and sang to the last song.

This feel good movie gets 9/10 from me o/

I don't think that comparisons to The Hangover do this film any favours whatsoever, and even mentioning it on the film poster is a bad idea in my opinion. This film has a lot more heart than The Hangover, and I enjoyed the fact that the characters had emotional responses and connections.
I thought the opening shagging sequence was a bit odd, and a few people shuffled uncomfortably at the beginning. I was a bit confused in the beginning about who was who, and I thought it took a while to get going.
There were some really funny set sequences, and if I'm ever a bridesmaid again I don't think I'll be able to try on the dress without collapsing into giggles at the thought of that scene from the film.
I think this will be one of my favourite films of the year.
9/10

Have seen this film twice now and loved it both times. It is genuinely funny and has some great acting. One of the best films I have seen so far this year. It has an actual plot that hangs together well and characters you can relate to. Excellent movie and even my partner loved it!) o/

Finally, saw this yesterday morning with my mum, it was fun, humour was wacky, but not as funny as I thought it would be after all the hype. Still it was a solid story, and Kristen Wiig is brilliant, and the heartwarming bits even brought a tear to my eyes. 7/10

this is a lot more than a chick flick really though, theres situation comedy for everyone, in spades.

another top ten movie for 2011.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

I too was pleasantly surprised by the film. Didn't think there was anything philosophical about this comedy [spoiler]especially as the bridal shower's party favour was a puppy![/spoiler], then I heard the line: "Your life is not the problem. You are. You are also the solution.". True.
Would happily watch again and have recommended to others as worth watching :D
