Bridesmaids

First off, I forgot to mention that Thor's director Kenneth Branagh did a good job directing his first major movie. Still kind of surprising since he's more known for Shakespeare, but this movie does have a lilt to it that's kind of reminiscent of Shakespeare (in a deep undercurrent kind of way).

At any rate...Chris and I went and saw Bridesmaids today. It's funny, but it's more of a physical/potty type of humor (in some places). Oddly to say, The Hangover has a more wide appeal sense-of-humor than Bridesmaids to most people. The Hangover is more just silly and funny and Bridesmaids definitely is a little more potty humor (there's an instance where they all get food poisoning...it's rather gross and funny in certain spots). There are some rather funny parts that are just funny. For example, the main character (Annie) is trying to get the attention of this cop who she hurt and she does all these silly things in the car (speeding, cruising like a gangster, doughnut, etc) to try and get his attention. Some of the situations between the bridesmaids are also funny (jealousy playing out mostly). I don't know if this movie is for everyone because of its humor, but it's pretty amusing and you laugh throughout it. You just have to get past the couple spots of more potty humor and then it's just like The Hangover and pretty funny. I would say that The Hangover is the better of the two films, though. Grade: B

PotC 4 will be during the week sometime to try and avoid the crowds.
