Movie #469 "Bridesmaids" I saw today with the Movie Club and really enjoyed it. It's good to see something professionally done again (been watching a lot of Naperville Film Festival entries, and some aren't very good at all --- but that's the job, to weed the not-so-good ones out) Anyway, love Kristin Wiig ---- she's able to go way over the top in freaking out, but there's still something about her that we like ---- that's a tough line to walk on, but she does in this film. When the group was done watching the film, we talked about the scenes that were our favorite ---- there's a trying on wedding outfit scene that's indescribable, the plane scene was my favorite and there's a bit with the car that another of our group enjoyed. The girls all work well together, and yes, it is raunchy, but those bits you squirm through, and still think they are funny, just not when you are watching the movie with an audience. Really impressed with Rose Byrne -- knew she could act in Damages (t.v.) and the movie "Adam" that our group saw together last year -- but she really is funny here --- and liked Melissa McCarthy (from t.v.'s Mike and Molly) --- she's from Plainfield, and we thought she stole some of the scenes --- she's really "out there" but funny. I don't know if I would recommend this movie to everyone, but it's hands down better than the male version ("Hangover") to me!
