i don't know if i've ever endorsed a movie in my life. usually the furthest it goes is, "yeah, it was pretty good." or "oh yeah, that was funny, i guess." everything changed last night when i saw bridesmaids. maybe it was kristen wiig's comedic genius or the fact that i identified with the reality of the movie and some of the situations. there was no "life is perfect except i'm in love with my best friend, and—oh no!—he's marrying my other best friend" plot line, no choreographed dancing scenes in pajamas with a lifelong bff, no feel-good bullshit.
highlights included maya rudolph (the bride) shitting herself in the middle of a busy city street in a designer wedding dress. wiig (maid of honor) drives by a trooper in an attempt to get pulled over while listening to rap and acting gangster, texting, drinking a 40, topless, speeding, pretending no one was in the vehicle, etc. a final scene of an overly intense lip synced version of wilson phillips' "hold on". wiig's character who is already scared of flying, takes some medication to relax, overdoes it, and proceeds to mock the flight attendants and attempt to sneak into first class, eventually getting kicked off the plane. it was just absolute perfection. i couldn't gush more about it. it's officially the funniest movie i've ever seen. i've never once in my life wanted to see a movie more than once in theaters, but i will definitely be going back. probably this week.
