These Wedding Bells Are a Possible Death Knell for ' SNL '

Rating: 2/10 (7 April 2012)

Possible Spoilers:
Since the departure of its most talented cast members (Jimmy Fallon, Will Farrel, Darrell Hammond, Tina Fey, Etc.), Saturday Night Live-and more to the point its audience-has suffered through the longest unfunny streak in that show's 35+ year history.
Enter Kristen Wiig; a comedienne who apparently only knows how to play strident, unattractive, & annoying characters. I.e.: Wiig's " Gilly " character on SNL, and also her ' Annie ' character in ' Bridesmaids '.
This movie's plot is simple & clear enough, & could have been enjoyable. Yet Wiig's character comes across as so unsympathetic (she whined so much that I felt like I was watching a female version of Louie Anderson) that I ended up rooting the OTHER friend-at least she was hot!
So, with the exception of some few & far between chuckles-and even they seemed forced & out of place, what we are left with are a series of stitched-together scenes that are almost too painful, and/or too stupid, to enjoy at all (which also pretty much describes what it's like to watch SNL itself nowadays).
In other words: Not Funny!
So if this is the best that the current SNL crew can do, then the future of that show looks bleak indeed.
