I didn't used to like Seth. I didn't dislike him but, nothing. He's been growing on me slowly the last couple years as a late night host. This special put him into my current favourites. Solid laughs all the way through out loud here by myself. So happy you didn't make it all about politics, and it was all funny.

Fun!
16 June 2018
I'm shocked by these lousy reviews. What were people's expectations? This is not Casablanca. Far better than the last two in the series, in line with the fun of the first one. It's a fun movie. A fun movie. Did I mention that it's a fun movie? So for anyone looking for some fun, this one's for you. For anyone who is interested in celebrity excess and knows what the Met Gala is, absolutely do not miss this. Don't take it seriously, but have fun!

Does it make you think?

Does it make you think? This is one of my interests. I didn't love all of this movie and I think Jennifer Lawrence was miscast. However by the time all was said and done, it has had me thinking at length the last several days of the tension between loyalty and self preservation. I think we had clues to the ending throughout. I will watch it again.

Aww that was cute
26 February 2018
Wow, the reviewers sure trashed this. What were they hoping for? It was a light movie. It didn't promise life-changing insight. It made me smile. Maybe I'm the audience: 55-year-old woman. When a movie is so badly trashed I want to give it a 10 to average in a higher number, but I will give it an honest 7.

It's a girl!
29 July 2011
It turns out I'm a girl. I did not get the hype over The Hangover at all, and I laugh at a lot of anything and everything. I just found it dull, predictable, and completely forgettable. I was truly reluctant to go see Bridesmaids because it was so hyped as the woman's Hangover. Ugh. Furthermore, my own bridesmaiding memories are neither endearing nor funny. I broke down though, having gone through everything else I wanted to see in the last several months, and went. What a wonderful surprise.
I liked that it wasn't one cliché laugh after another, but very genuine huge laughs in the right places. Loved that there was an actual plot to it that was pretty real in amongst the escapades that were over the top for the laughs. If this is the girly version of the current comedies, maybe I am a girl after all.
** SPOILER ** My only criticism is maybe just a preference. I knew from right after girl met boy that boy will catch girl in the end. Too predictable / overdone. Not sure how I'd change that because I am also tired of the All Men Are Jerks themes in some 'women's' comedies, and Rhodes served to show us a decent guy who was not a pushover. Will have to think about what else can be done to prevent that predictability.
** end SPOILER **
Last comment. Love that they all looked like real people and all gorgeous.
