I Can Relate

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2011)

At fifty-something, I'm no spring chicken, and when it comes time—on rare occasion—to go to the movie theater, I want something I can relate to. Every time I turn around, it's another comic book hero or Science Fiction or droopy no commitment, "hey we're best friends let's have sex" movie. Hurray! Bridesmaids to the rescue! Being a woman of some years, I've seen all my friends walk down the plank into matrimonial bliss. I've done it twice, now, myself...what can I say, I'm a statistic. Just the same, there were bits and pieces of Bridesmaids that hit home. I've been in five bridal parties in my life, and along with my first marriage (kind of skipped it the second time around), it makes a half dozen moments of memories. I really enjoyed the movie. I recommend it to any woman who has been a part of the ritual. It's alleged as the female version of Hangover, but from what I saw of that, it is totally different. Hangover just seemed like someone pushing the shock value button while Bridesmaids was a lot deeper. What do you expect? Women have more substance than men.
