Great opening but downhill from there

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2011)

My girlfriend kept asking me if we'd go out to see Brides Maids which would also be enjoyable by us males as well. After having her beg just a little more I decided to go see it with her. The opening scene was memorable but after that it went downhill very fast, after about 30-40 minutes in the movie we looked at each other and I asked her what she thought of this movie. I was glad to hear she shared my opinion about this movie being annoying instead of funny... I guess the problem with the genre is that jokes for some people don't work for other. The key to make a great comedy is to have different kinds of jokes to serve different kinds of people. The jokes (or tries to make them) in this movie were just focused on one type of people. For us (and a lot of people in the same theater), they became annoying instead of funny.
