Although of the same comedic genre, they seem to have brought it up a notch from the Harold Ramis films.Īnd speaking of raunchy comedies, Animal House manages to wallow in the muck at the same time it's rising above it. (Yes, Melissa McCarthy is a scream, make more movies, please.)I would credit this new level of comedy to the Farrelly Brothers. None of those movies has as gratuitous a pandering to the poop joke loving crowd scene as Melissa McCarthy sitting on a sink. Throw in Ghostbusters and I'm able to convince myself that noone but Harold Ramis should be writing comedy scripts.
And speaking of raunchy comedies, Animal House manages to wallow in the muck at the same time it's rising above it. Animal House started the raunchy comedy drama so nothing in that movie could be considered cliche when you saw it for the first time, but really, if you cut out John Belushi peeping scene, it wouldn't be R-rated today, maybe even if you didn't cut that scene. Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig shouldn't stoop so low. I loved The Hangover and I totally buy Zach Gallifinakis or Ed Helms or Bradley Cooper behaving in such a manner.

(Yes, Melissa McCarthy is a scream, make more movies, please.) You kinda just made my point for me, that whole scene felt like "Yeah, you've seen stuff like this before but this time it's women doing it!" I know a ton of women like the main character (and men as well), who feel they can't win, even when winning can be right in front of them. People reach their mid 30's and feel the pressure to get married, and the pressure from their friends getting married and moving on. I loved the very end after the credits.īut for me, the best part is that despite all the slapstick stuff, this movie felt real. And it was great having a character call them out on it. I thought the scene for the Paris party was spot on. Basically trying to stand up to the idea that only men can do vulgar comedy (I mean in the Hangover when they were getting tasered, that was sophomoric as well, so were numerous scenes in American Pie, Animal House, Stripes, you name it.only this time it was women). Yes, the bridesmaids dress scene was vulgar - the best thing about it was that it was women doing it. I thought it was the best movie of the a decent amount. I guess what I'm saying is even though I enjoyed it and I would recommend it, I'm disappointed that it didn't try to be just a little bit better instead of falling back on some of the same kind of crass humor that every other comedy gunning for an R rating throws at us. Puppies as party favors? Comedy gold! Cliched slapstick ruining of the giant cookie and the chocolate fountain? C'mon writers, be better than that! Or in the immoral words of Homer Simpson, "Be funnier!" OK, it was funny, I enjoyed it, I believe it's a comedy that guys probably liked, but really, did we need the scene of women throwing up on each other and doing that thing I can't say here in the sink and on the street? Really? Can a film not be considered a comedy unless stuff like that happens? Also, the meltdown at the bridal shower - completely unrealistic, not very funny, and also not necessary. Whoever did hair and make-up on that movie should be chased out of LA. The whole movie I just wanted to wash and comb Kristen Wiig's hair. Finally went to see Bridesmaids on Monday night.
