Turned out to be a pretty typical Apatow movie, though. Now I see why people like it. It wasn't bad.
Ever since we saw it, I've been asking, "If the movie happens mainly in Chicago and Milwaukee, why is like half the supporting cast British?" The first time a supporting cast member turned up with a British accent, I was like, "Huh-- that's interesting." Then a second one, and I was slightly confused. Then the third one-- and this one somewhat implausibly-- and I was in all seriousness starting to think I'd dozed off while the lead actors flew to their homes in England. In a way, that kind of reminded me of the strange Eastern European family that lived next door to Peter Parker in the Spidey movies. In that instance, I kept waiting for it to *mean* something-- for there to be a reason beyond just "it's goofy funny"-- and there never was. But to match Bridesmaids, you'd then need to make, say, Peter's boss at the pizza place Russian, *and* then make a random policeman (!!) that he meets be Russian, too. It was weird. --Van On Jun 4, 11:04 am, Holly Elliott <[email protected]> wrote: > Bridesmaids is really funny, though; you should enjoy it. And I am not a > girly girl; I HATE chick flicks.
