View Full Version : OK, I saw Bridesmaids for the first time last night. I was a bit disappointed.

It had some funny moments, but I just thought that, apart from the protagonists being women rather than men, there was nothing particularly new or interesting about it.
Also, I felt you could basically take virtually every character and make them male without much alteration to the plot or characterisation. That seemed a shame.

Not that much less crass, surely

Definite increase in the crassness factor then

Granted, that is setting the bar pretty low.

The more romcom end (Knocked Up, 40 year old virgin etc) I have so little time for it's unreal.

others in my head), but 'This is the End' was one of the most self-indulgent Hollywood circle jerks I've ever seen.

I guess I suspect it got more critical praise than it merited purely because it was about women rather than men.

I don't want a 'thinking man's' version of it, frankly.

I must admit i didnt know it had drawn any criticial acclaim. The film was exactly what i expected- bog standard.

and a woman ****ting in the street in their wedding dress *is* pushing comedic boundaries, however crass.

specific, but that got lost amid the standard Apatow comedy cutouts.
