Bridesmaids
Re: Bridesmaids
Sorry dude. Haven't seen it yet, though I hear it's more of the same.
Oh and Rose Byrne is awesome. She was very different in this compared to her role in "X-Men".

Thank you!jramjee wrote: 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
Well I went in prepared to like this film after all the positive reviews I'd read so maybe that made be biased?Beate wrote:You and I can NOT have watched the same movie.funthing29 wrote: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.
You must admit that Nathan (the cop) was just so adorable!

Re: Bridesmaids
Pleasant enough, but at times just seemed to be ambling along without direction and definitely without much editing - it could have lost a good 20 mins I think.
There were a few laughs, but thought a couple of them were very cheap...

Re: Bridesmaids
I really enjoyed this film, laugh-out-loud funny right from the beginning. The leads were excellent and well supported, interesting to see the gorgeous Jon Hamm in not such a heartthrob role. Don't think the poster gives the right impression of the film nor does it justice. I am looking forward to seeing it again.
Lovely to say hello to Valda and meet funthing29.

Re: Bridesmaids
Saw this at the Omni, Edinburgh and the place was full before the film started which was good because it saved the usual latecomers trying to find seats. The girl taking the tickets told me that it was oversubscribed and they expected people to be turned away.
The film was very funny and although rather gross in places you couldn't help but laugh. 8/10

Re: Bridesmaids
I didn't enjoy this as much as I was hoping to. There were a few funny scenes but other than that I found myself getting bored!
Kristen Wiig was good as the lead but thought everyone else was forgettable.
5/10

Re: Bridesmaids
As usual, didn't like to watch trailer,so, I went with no expectation. But I actually liked it tho the beginning of the movie really caught me of guardcanadian_turtle wrote: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
Agree and agree! Love Megan and her crazy approach to people! I'm a big suc*a of rom-com. So, I was hoping Annie went after Officer Rhodes.... I was imagining Annie breaks her tail-light and drive pass him and hoping he stopped her and they lived happily ever afterrawr_xoxo wrote:Needless to say Megan was the best character, although the ending was slightly disturbing! 9/10
