Worst movie I've seen this summer

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2011)

Bridesmaids: A Review Bridesmaids is an over-hyped, underdeveloped idea, ripping off a successful and hilarious male comedy trying to skew to the concept to the female demographic, however, it was terribly implemented and an overall failure.
The concept from which this movie arose was very sound. From the hype around the movie I understand that the movie was to be a female version of the movie The Hangover. The Hangover became an almost overnight classic, but it was the first of a type of movie, and where popularity is, others will follow.
I only watched this movie because I was told that it was a female version of The Hangover, and I, therefore, had very high expectations of this movie. From the beginning, I quickly became disinterested in the movie as there was little action to keep it moving along. Sure there are going to be differences between females and males and their planning of a wedding and of the bachelorette or bachelor party that goes along with it. Bridesmaids could have been better, in my opinion, if, rather than focusing on all the events that go along with the path to marriage, such as the engagement dinner with all the ladies and the dress shopping, if it would have skipped some of the filler material and focused on what everyone was expecting from the movie, which was a wild and crazy night. There wasn't even a wild and crazy night, as the plane was forced to land before the destination and the ladies had to return by bus, due to an in-air incident. Now, had the bus continued onto Las Vegas, or if they had stopped in some smaller town, and had an amazingly crazy night, the movie would have at least gotten close to the hype. Unfortunately, this movie tried way too hard to be something that it just couldn't be. The initial comparisons between the movies set the expectations almost unrealistically high, and then after seeing the movie, I was left disappointedly shaking my head, almost in embarrassment for it. The ladies in this movie acted well, and there were several memorable moments, such as running out of the dress shop and stopping in the middle of the street due to a bad meal at a local restaurant. Overall, there were several ups and downs of the movie, but due to the high expectations that I had for the movie, it will be sitting on my shelf, not to be viewed very often, and I will not be recommending this movie for any others to watch.
