Maid of Dishonor

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2011)

I heard of positive things about this movie and the reviews seemed to be pretty good. So I had slightly high expectations for this movie, but it just didn't meet it. This is basically a overrated comedy that annoyed me than it actually being fun and entertaining. It just seemed all the characters were being obnoxious without even being funny, they are constantly wacky and not believable at all and it just doesn't work very well. It just didn't seem to know what direction this movie wanted to go so it was like all over the place at times. After a few minutes in I thought this was gonna be something similar to "Bride Wars" which is another crappy movie but it goes in a different direction later on. Most of the characters are abnormal in this, maybe to make it comical but they really aren't all that likable. So they are not believable and yet it reminded me of one of those comedy TV shows like "The Office" for example, except your not attached to the characters. Also sort of reminded me of those comedic movies that is cheap and not believable what so ever and tries way too hard to be funny at first. This isn't a charming comedy either and everything was just over the top without being effective. The constant bickering and arguing between one another gets annoying than actually funny, it's goofy but not funny. The movie is mostly about one of the bridesmaid falling down and feeling sorry for herself and even that wasn't done well. This isn't a terrible comedy but it's overrated for sure. Also felt the movie was way longer than it had to be.
5.6/10
