The most laugh-out-loud moments I've witnessed in a movie theater since There's Something About Mary. This should make Wiig a star -- and she deserves it (she has a Meg Ryan quality). The rest of the cast is hilarious also.
This isn't a formula film. The scenes are way longer but you won't notice (because you'll be laughing so hard). They're much richer and funnier because they're given time to unfold.
I'm a guy. I went in with no expectations and came out with a big smile. This is a female driven film (and women will love it) but guys, don't be afraid -- you'll love it too. You won't "look away!" (a joke you'll get after you see the film).

Kicks butt
Funny but nothing that particularly special
Bridesmaids is an entertaining picture that does come with beliaveable characters and a story that never stops being entertaining, and is on a much higher remark than similar comedies. Kristen Wiig's contribution to the film, both as a writer and an actress, allows the film to showcase the talent among female comedians, but it is not without a bland story to pull it all together.
In a nutshell, Bridesmaids comes up with a generic story and bland direction to deliver a picture that has some genuinely funny actresses and gags, though it is nothing to write home about as being a landmark of comedy.
Diarhea and farts, with girl parts
Fart jokes and toilet humor, while charming and funny for teenage boys. It just doesn't work with a bunch of middle age unattractive loud women. There was not one scene that was funny. I watched with some friends and we all had high hopes for a gross out humor movie like "Bad Santa" or "Bad Teacher" which both featured crude, yet likeable characters. Nothing was funny about this. Nothing at all. No one was laughing. The scenes that were suppose to be funny were so gross and predictable it ranks up with the reprehensible "Freddy Got Fingered." Avoid this movie. It is a 5 minute unfunny SNL skit stretched out to two embarrassing and unbearable hours.
