The Good, The Questionable, The Bad and Why... Bridesmaids

Rating: 8/10 (30 September 2011)

THE GOOD - I am not a romantic comedy fan. I'll admit that. However, I am a fan of good movies. This movie is ridiculously funny! The story centers on a bridesmaid at odds with another bridesmaid for her best friend's affection. Jealousy and competition ensues! We follow our heroine's life as the world just continues to take a dump on her. That's the sum of the story. A movie about love and jealousy among the ladies. I'm male, but I feel as if I am one of the girls in the story. I am one of the bridesmaids as we take a glimpse into the various relationship problems, which bind the story.
THE QUESTIONABLE - Some may find it a little long for a two hour comedy movie but I have to tell you - two hours of laughs. Come on!
THE BAD - Perhaps the worst part of this film was the fact that most of the side plot dealing with the side characters was never integrated into the main character's part of the movie. It almost felt like a TV show. You know, where we are following different stories that never really work well with the overall story. But hey whatever so
WHY do I give this a8/10 IMDb style or a very high 3 out of 4 stars. Look my original IMDb rating for this film was a 7/10. But I switched it to 8/10 because I believe the chief purpose of a comedy is to make us laugh. I can't say most comedy movies make you laugh and feel for the characters throughout. This one did. More than that, this movie is one of those stories where certain memorable scenes will stick with you for a while. Chicks using the bathroom on the streets, breakdowns in front of people, being used by studs for sex, getting drunk and getting kicked off a plane... If this sounds interesting to you I'm sure you will be interested in watching "Bridesmaids".
