TMK9973 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ok guys.....Chick flick or not? I hate chick flicks....but I've also been hearing this is funny as hell (second hand). Suppose to see a movie this friday and debating if this is as funny as all the reviews...or this is just ANOTHER one of those chick flicks that tries to advertise it's not a chick flick.... anyone see it?

Homercles82 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Female version of the hangover, which wasn't that funny to begin with, that the media is raving about so everyone raves about it. It looks mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homercles82 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The smart minority. Galifinakis' character was funny and Mike Tyson cracked me up, but overall it wasn't that great. I never said I didn't like it, it just was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedr01 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Well to be honest, didn't RottenTomatoes give it like a 90% or something? they don't care about appeasing anyone, they rate movies pretty accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Witnessing the craziness that my fiance has gone through with her bridesmaids has me interested in the movvie. The few scenes we've seen so far have mirrored what we've gone through. Especially the shrimp fork scene at the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It is NOT a chick flick. It's a good comedy with women in it. I saw it last weekend and I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't RT a review aggregator, and they compile their rating based on what all critics, mass media and not, give it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_e_b Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Isn't RT a review aggregator, and they compile their rating based on what all critics, mass media and not, give it? That's not entirely correct, but the qualifications for being a "critic" aren't too high. Pretty much anybody with a mediocre blog can become a critic. RottenTomatoes is probably the most reliable review site, but it still has flaws when it comes to childrens/family films and movies that receive tons of hype from the college-aged demographic. Most of the non-critic ratings are likely coming from the target audience (females). I'm sure the rating for Bridesmaids will go down quite a bit once it's released on DVD and is exposed to a wider audience (men). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 who cares if it is a "chick flick". the question is whether it is well done, and whether it is interesting/good. a good ____________ movie is a delight watch. a bad ________ movie gives you colon hickups. (insert any adjective into the blanks: horror, documentary, indie, chick, comedy, romantic comedy, action, ..... whatever.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I saw it last weekend. It was decent. If you like Kristen Wiig then you're like it.If you find her somewhat funny and sometimes annoying, then you'll find it somewhat funny and be annoyed at times. It's an Apatow movie, so it's 15-20 minutes too long and slows way down closer to the end. My bottom line: it's a chick flick with some raunchy dialogue and a couple gross out/outrageous set pieces thrown in to attract a wider audience.

Bang Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Looks pretty funny to me. I agree the Hangover was a bit overrated, but i think that was because everyone told me how great it was, and it didn't live up to it. I liked the naked guy in the trunk, that had me laughing pretty much harder than anything else in the movie. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said I didn't like it, it just was OK. Agreed, and it's nice to hear someone else not praise the movie like it was Die Hard or Caddyshack. Granted, I saw the Hangover after a month of nonstop hype, so I was set up to be at least a little disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I would rather kill myself than watch this piece of unoriginal garbage. And that one chick looks like a damn turkey vulcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I saw it. It was a well-done hit-the-mark comedy. Not truly great, but much better than just "ok." Every guy I know who has seen it has really liked it. There was more out-loud laughing during the movie than any I have seen in awhile. I agree with earlier comments that the Hangover was funny, but is over-rated by many. There's too much "dumb, juvenile, and just stupid" material that lessens the "clever-witty-solid funny" success. I think Bridesmaids is a better comedy than Hangover (which I still liked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said I didn't like it, it just was OK. Agreed. All of the hype caused it to be overrated IMO. And OP, if you go see Bridesmaids, be sure to at least have a chick with you.

Jumbo Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I would rather kill myself than watch this piece of unoriginal garbage. I don't think your taking the idea of giving an opinion on this movie seriously enough. :mad: Freakshow. :pfft: This reminds of something though---I made a comment to a couple friends that Kristin Whig obviously negotiated some screen shots where she could display the results of her gym and diet routine and shed some of that "awkward, odd-looking-at-times" persona that many of her SNL characters employ. She spends some time running around in sexy undies and looked pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 All I have to say is this: When the trailer for this came on before another rental my wife and I were watching, she got really excited and said "ew, it looks just like the Hangover, but for us," us being women, which caused me to think how much it will suck. I will not watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman#21 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Loved it! and i recommend it as well. Not a chick flick by any means. I saw it 2x and it is nothing like the hangover. Even if your not a fan of Kristen Wiig you would like this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm going to LIVE this damn movie in two weeks during the Vegas Bridesmaid Bachelorette Bash I'm throwing one of my best girlfriends! Can you tell I'm stoked to go absolutely frickin crazy in Vegas?!?! But for real, I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie...and I'm definitely dragging my husband along with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
