One for the girls! Not the guys!

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2011)

The movie took forever to get going. The first 30 minutes were filled with jokes intended for the older audience and it felt like watching "Corner Gas". Kristin Wig is the least funny female character in this movie by far which she proves throughout. The movie was beyond predictable in its story line as well as upcoming jokes.
All this stuff about being heartfelt is so dumb. The movie is a campy corny chick flick which has a few moments of actual humour.
You can tell that Judd Apatow clearly had nothing to do with this movie other then using his name to try and draw people into the theatre.
I'd say 10% of the jokes in the movie were successful for both men and women. Again a lot of the humour was geared to females/old people and will not be even close to funny for males. Its not for a lack of understanding the so called jokes; It's everything to do with the fact that very little of this 2 hour movie consisted of new jokes. Most of the comedy seems to be taken out of 1960's-80's TV sitcoms. Again these are jokes aimed at the older crowd/females. Men under 55 will find this movie stale and old with very little new ideas as they have seen it done many times.
When the group goes shopping for dresses, it is beyond the funniest scene in the movie. This scene was written so well for the female cast it hampered the rest of the movie because it seems like after that they just didn't try.
There are worse movies out there and as far as female comedies this sadly ranks near the top.
Girls can bring their boyfriends/husbands to this movie and not have to deal with a lot of moaning from them. Just don't expect them to enjoy it 1/10 of the amount that you do.
