Re: Bridesmaids
I absolutely loved it. All the female characters were original and interesting (and peculiar!) in their own way, there were many moments where I was really laughing out loud (one where I even started tearing up because I was laughing so much!), the jokes were funny without retorting to just showing trashy scenes like Hangover 2, and the Scottish cop was adorable <333. 9/10

Re: Bridesmaids
Theres nothing I can add to previous reviews really. Me and my mate were laughing out loud along with 90% of the cinema. Needless to say Megan was the best character, although the ending was slightly disturbing! x)

Chris O Dowd from the It Crowd and recently from the Crimson Petal and The White.
I really enjoyed this, even though sometimes it felt so wrong to laugh. I was a bit puzzled by O Dowd and Lucas being in there, for what purpose?
Anyway it had the right amount of comedy and heart warming moments, I was expecting even more laughs from some of the reviews I've read. It was good to see a well rounded female cast too. 7/10
good to see Jeancomp, Funthing Denechka and Oh dragging themselves over to the West vx

Re: Bridesmaids
I saw this at a packed out Westfield and really liked it. It was charming with a wide variety of well written characters. It was also hilarious in parts without relying too heavily on sex jokes. It was rather long for a comedy at 2 hours but didn't feel long and the story was paced just right. Kristing Wiig carried the film well making Annie seem self-isolated yet sympathetic. This is a sweet, heartwarming story with a touching emotional core and laugh out loud moments. I would happily watch it again. 8/10.

Re: Bridesmaids
Watched at West India Quay this evening. Firstly, the theatre was packed to the limit! So much so that some people were sitting on the stairs until about halfway through when security forced them to find their seats (fire hazard perhaps?). Unfortunately they were all in pairs, and there were only a few individual seats left so they had no choice but to divide and conquer, which was obviously quite disruptive to the rest of the theatre. Two of them couldn't be bothered and were ushered out of the theatre. I should also add that there were some truly unruly folk in our presence tonight. One of them kept screaming something like "BAGGAGE!" for the last 15 minutes of the movie. That was seriously freakin' irritating.
Onto the movie. Hideously overrated, that's for damn sure. Had a few funny parts but overall was just plain awkward. Like any typical Judd Apadow production, the movie was longer than it needed to be with loads of unnecessary character exploration (ie. scenes that would normally end up in the deleted scenes) I love Kristen Wiig and thought she was hilarious, but for the most part the movie was meh. Wouldn't recommend it.

Re: Bridesmaids
Hell no! I don't think "Hangover" was a work of art (also fairly overrated), but it was highly entertaining!!raj101 wrote:do you think it was better than the Hangover, MrJamjee?
