I haven't written about the (gazillion) movies we watch around here. Ok, so sometimes we only watch 15 minutes of the movie, but I only write about movies I've seen all the way through.
So, here it goes: Bridesmaids.
I was expecting some sort of sassy, slightly annoying movie about how wonderful women are together. Which, let's face it, is often fictional. But I loved that there was a woman stealing the thunder and running the whole thing. I identified with the jealousy. And I found this movie both entertaining and something I could see myself in. Well done, (probably) male white writers, well done.
Would I purchase this movie? Nope. Would I keep it if given to me? Probably. Would I seek it out to watch it with my best girlfriends? Absolutely. The fact that one character reminded me of a friend makes it that much more necessary to watch it with others.
You know, the best part about this movie is that I saw it with one of my favorite people. She and I haven't been to a movie sans kids, and while I like Megamind, I really like a grown up movie. Huzzah for Girl's Night Out!

P.S. Don't stick around for the scene after the credits. Trust me. I'm still in therapy for that one.

I read this in my google reader... yesterday? So I didn't actually comment, just savored. I'll consider myself forewarned for that end-of-film credit. ;)
