Not as funny as people are making it out to be

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2011)

I have seen funny comedy based films centered around women and this is not one of them. I might be the odd ball in the bunch, but this movie is not as funny or entertaining like people have been putting it to be.I can count only one scene that grabbed a few jiggles out of me, but the film as a whole, it does not deliver enough comedy to keep me entertained. There are too many dry un funny moments that made me not want to watch this any more. They created this film to become the female version of the Hangover and it never quite accomplishes its goal. I just not a firm believer that woman are not funny enough to carry a whole film by their self and to appeal to every person out there. Yes a few films will grab the attention of most females and some men, but appealing to the masses, I just don't think women comedy movies can do that. Chesley Handler and Ellen are about the only women I have seen enough of that can trigger laughter out of me and neither one of them were in this movie, so I wasn't laughin much during the film. This movie lost me in the first 30 minutes and I just punished myself to sit through the rest. It took forever for the movie to stir up some drama to actually punchier my brain for some entertainment. There spare ha ha moments, but nothing that causes great laughter. The women in this film try to hard be funny instead of being naturally funny and it shows on camera. They just become annoying instead of funny. This movie plays out like a two hour long SNL skit presented by Kristen Wiig and her bunch of humorousness friends. Kristen Wiig is funny to watch in some films, but never quite holds her own in a film centered around her. The plot of the movie was a good one, but the lack there of comedy and running time are the downfall and really kills the vibe of the movie. I guess I'm not the intended demographic for this movie, but I just felt like there was nothing worthwhile going on. I have seen a female wedding themed movie before , Bride Wars, and enjoyed it a lot more than this film and they sold the concept better than this movie. A lot of the jokes go on tremendously long and get annoyingly awkward. This is one of the only films that has been positively review during this summer and I for one feel the complete opposite of the critics and feel this is a huge let down.
