Okay, even though I titled this post “Bridesmaids – not just a movie for women in their 20s/30s”, it probably is better enjoyed by women, and best enjoyed by those who have ever had the blessing of (or have been forced into) being in a wedding, or two, or three, or 27.

The movie is so full of good scenes and quotes I wouldn’t know where to start or stop (maybe that’s why I’ve seen it at least 10 times and still thoroughly enjoy watching the whole movie over again). Here’s a good example of the humor and a good roommate scene:

I can relate to Annie. Lots of women can. Lots of people can. Yes, it is a vulgar movie, and I think it’s partially because most movies are male-centered that this could seem particularly crude. It also is, and most of it is hilarious.

One part I particularly like is when Megan reminds Annie that she’s wallowing in her own self-pity and says this gem:
“I do not associate with people that blame the world for their problems. Cause you’re your problem, Annie. And you’re also your solution.” That’s true in many ways. The movie has lessons, people!

It is a great movie. I love it. It’s my favorite movie currently (amongst many others, of course, but really is one that’s made it into the permanent ranks of all-time favorites!)

If you haven’t watched it, you should (it’s good for ALMOST everyone, preferably above the age of 18). I love it. I can’t get enough. Kristen Wiig is hilarious, and so is Megan McCarthy. And all the rest of it too.

“Best movie ever.” -my boyfriend. But I think he really meant it. Especially because he was very hesitant to see it, and probably was just fancying a whim for me.

It quite possibly is that, though.

“Beyond words- you need to see it.” – me

Those are bad quotes, but somewhat true to the film.

My friend’s boyfriend had a pretty good description of this unique gem of a documentary:

“genius with a twist. its like ‘the sixth sense’ only with less bruce willis and more great.”

I was naturally drawn to it, under unnatural circumstances (found it at a tiny movie theater next to the coffee shop where two friends were playing that evening), because of the French shop-keeper. I read a description about a documentary following a subject that wasn’t there. I didn’t fully understand what that meant until well into the film. There really were plot twists, and intriguing changes of events- and it was all true.

Read the NY Times Movie Review of it.

There’s a preview to give you a better idea of what it’s about. It combines street art, which is pretty neat, with a crazy French-men, with totally unrealistic ideas that work in the wildest ways- like it ends up so often with popular things in society.

I’m not a film reviewer, if I had time I’d say more, but, the urgent message right now is, YES, it is worth seeing!!!
