If there are any film files fans left in the world, I ask your forgiveness as we are in a transitional phase, inspired mostly by my attempts to do the majority of my writings and posting via my IPad. I also have less time to write reviews and don't want to write about things I detest for free just so some publicist will keep me on their screening invite list. Anyway the point of this post is supposed to be the Kristin Wiig film BRIDESMAIDS, which I did just pay to see (albeit only $6 for a bargain matinee.) I was laughing so hard that the person in front of me kept turning around but not in a mean "you're being too loud" way but in the "yeah that was so funny" way. The first scene involves Wiig and Jon Hamm in the very funniest sex scene ever recorded, really underscoring the utter ridiculousness of such scenes in general. It goes on from there. You've probably heard about the food poisoning at the bridal shop event, but there is loads more. Wiig and her cohort clearly have no problem humiliating themselves, one of my pet peeves about women and comedy in the U.S. Wiig mostly looks like a mess throughout and Melissa McCarthy is a raucous scene stealer as the bridegroom's nut ball sister. Lot's of good jokes, nice girlfriend stuff, no pat happy endings. I wish Chris O'Dowd as the nice guy had been allowed to unleash a little more of his weirdness (put THE IT CROWD on your Netflix queue) but he was just so cute with his soft features and light brogue, it doesn't really matter. Hamm on the other hand was a perfectly wretched scoundrel, the type that you know you should have stayed away from but couldn't...and he plays it for laughs. All in all, well worth the money, haven't had as many deep belly laughs since THE OTHER GUYS.
