Bridesmaids

PROS:  I loved nearly all of this movie because I laughed through nearly all of this movie.  Each character has their share of laughs (or boos...you will HATE Rose Byrne's character which is a testament to her acting abilities) but Kristen Wiig's comedic timing was so good that I'm scared SNL will lose her.  I'd rank her at the top of the list (along with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus) of actresses who have perfected the art of humiliating themselves to a degree that's  hilarious but also lovable and relatable. 

CONS:  I don't have too many but I did think the movie was a little too long for a comedy.  I also thought Maya Rudolph was a miscast as the bride.  I love the chemistry that her and Wiig have (especially during the Wilson Phillips number) but I found myself wanting her to be more outrageous like she was on SNL.

RATING: See this movie if you like to laugh.
