Why did I allow myself to get sucked in?

Rating: 1/10 (20 April 2012)

I have a new, all-time LEAST favorite movie, and it's Bridesmaids! When I first saw the previews I thought it looked sophomoric and stupid, and had no interest in seeing it. But it got SO much positive hype, Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 stars (and I usually agree with him), I really like Melissa McCarthy in Mike and Molly, and it even snagged a few major award nominations(!), so I thought I'd give it a go.
The subject matter (sleeping around, dysfunctional marriages, and emotional insecurity) was aimed at adults, while the humor (stupidity, farting, vomiting, defecating, fat "jokes", and getting drunk) was aimed at 7 year old boys! There wasn't one female character I could relate to or feel sympathetic toward. I didn't laugh once, and so much of it was truly painful to watch. Thank goodness I watched it on DVD so I could fast forward through the really horrible parts. What a complete waste of time and money.
