Bridesmaids

I was so excited to see this film, the hype was incredible. I'd heard that Melissa McCarthy was in it who I love from Gossip Girl and was rumoured to play an 'Alan' (Hangover) type character. I have to admit Melissa's character of Megan was the only good thing about this film, so much for 'comedy of the year'. Even though the reviews have been quite good and reviews I've heard from friends were actually promising, I believe Bidemaids was a huge let down. I suppose Megan was alot like Alan with the inorpproriate language and turning a room of happy people in a awkward bowl of fish so this was a silver lining, however the rest of the characters are of the same ol'  kind of all american women. The women in the film either have it all; attractive, rich, married. Or have nothing going for them at all, but some how end up with the loved up romance at the end of the film. So the end of the film was exactly that, a loved up romance. A boring end to a predictable, kind of comical comedy.
If I had the choice I wouldn't have paid to see this.
I'd say watch on a channel4 movie night for a few light laughs.
