If my calculations are correct, this will be movie number 117 and 118 for me this year. I am a bit behind for sure, I can make this up though...hopefully I get to do another movie marathon this year...that should help.
Okay...so Bridesmaids. I freaking LOVED this movie. Clearly I must have loved it, I watched it twice in a 10 day period, and would love to watch it again. I went the first time with my friend Nancy and though I enjoyed it and thought it was gut splitting hysterical....the experience was a bit tainted by the presence of a young child a row below us. Now I am not a censoring kind of Mom. My kids hear curse words for sure, because I admit to have a bit of a potty mouth, and I am not even ashamed of that. However, I don't want to watch movies with blatant sex scenes with my 12 year old son! Its not that I really care if he sees it....just don't really want to be there at this time. My issue I guess. This movie was rated "R"...there was a opening sex scene (albeit a funny one) and more than one vulgar sexual reference...would those fly over Ian's head? Probably...and they may have flown over this girls head as well...but she didn't look more than 11 or 12, and it made ME uncomforable having her there. My second viewing was with my girls Steph and Jo, and this time was a lot more fun. (No offense Nancy...totally wasn't your fault...it was that pesky child!) I laughed even harder knowing what was coming. Maya Rudolph is as beautiful as ever I absolutely adore her, and the high point in my opinion, was the incredible performance by Melissa McCarthy and a nice (villainous) performance by the stunning Rose Byrne This is a great movie to see with a bunch of girlfriends. There is so much "real" in this movie, that I felt the urge to hide under my seat at times from embarrassment for the main character played by the amazing Kristen Wigg. I also think this is not just a girl movie. I know for sure my husband would find it highly amusing and would love to see it with him at some point. I think its honest, I think its hysterical and a sweet romantic comedy (cute boy played by the adorable Chris O'Dowd as well. Loved it. Highly recommend it!
