Not all that funny...

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2015)

I picked up this movie solely because of Melissa McCarthy. I had initially expected a bit more fun and laughs than what the movie actually delivered. For a comedy this movie was disturbingly devoid of laughs and hilarious situations. I actually only laughed once, and that was during the food poisoning scene.
The story is about a competitive duel between two bridal maids at their best friends wedding.
The cast in "Bridesmaids" was quite good, and despite the lack of comedy in the movie there was some good comedian names on the cast list.
"Bridesmaids" is a comedy intended for a female audience first and foremost.
The lack of comedy was what ultimately brought this movie down into mediocrity for me. And as such, I am rating "Bridesmaids" a mere five out of ten stars.
