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.

I quite liked the hollywood circle jerk aspect of This is the End

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

[Classic Jorge]

Granted, this time not so much predatory gay men but still

[Berni]

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

[Peter]

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.

[Berni]

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