The chick flick of the summer has arrived!!

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2011)

I saw this film on a lark, and I am glad I did. This film is head and shoulders better than SOMETHING BORROWED. This is a chick flick that is accessible to ALL (hooray!). The characters have more dimension and depth. You actually felt for these people, especially Annie and Officer Rhodes, played by the marvellous and daring Kristen Wiig and delightful Chris o'Dowd.
I am looking at Melissa McCarthy as the next breakaway star, leaving MIKE AND MOLLY and GILMORE GIRLS far behind as she gives us the astute and very funny Megan.
Of course, the funniest part of the film just has to be in the trailer. Too bad.
The problems I had with this film are that the men in this film, on screen and off, are not looked upon very well (with the exception of Ted and Officer Rhodes). Neither is marriage, even for a newlywed who is part of the bridal party.
Some scenes are just awkward, such as when Annie and Helen give dueling engagement toasts, or when Wilson Phillips appears to lip sync to a song about 22 years old.
And, finally, do you think that since this was Jill Clayburgh's last film, they could have dedicated it to her memory? I'm just saying.
Guys, this is the chick flick you will want to take your girlfriends and wives to. And vice versa. And they all will thank you.
