Watched it over the weekend. Most. Overrated. Movie. Ever. People loved it because women can be funny and raunchy just like men. No, you cant. This sucked, go back to making chick movies and leave the funny to the professionals. And fuck every critic that said this was great, may you have to watch this shitfest on repeat the rest of your life until you stab your fucking eyballs.

I don't understand why humans simply cannot understand this as a fundamental truth.

Female comedy breaks down into two categories:

1. trying to write/tell masculine jokes in an attempt to get laughs from shock value
2. writing/talking about things particular to women that may be funny to women but are incomprehensible to men (much like the Three Stooges for women)

They fail in entertaining the entire population in either instance, whereas a guy like Eddie Murphy at his best was universal.

If women are gonna be successfully raunchy, it has to include over-the-top sex as well (Aniston in "Horrible Bosses").

Hearing women say "fuck" was not inherently funny/raunchy. It seemed very forced.

Kristen Wiig's impression of a penis was pretty funny though.

John Belushi said it 37 years ago when Lorne Michaels approached him about being on SNL, "Women are not funny."

Seen it on HBO quite a few times and I just sit there and shake my head. I still don't understand why people think this was so funny.

I don't understand how anyone could have seen in quite a few times.


That's because you don't live with a wife or girlfriend.

I laughed a couple of times, chuckled a few more but that was about it.

I was expecting the Funniest Movie Ever and instead I got a whole bunch of "meh."

And that fat chick? Not all that funny and her CBS sitcom blows cock.

Take it somewhere else, ladies.

Be careful what you wish for. You might have to start watching Girls or Downton Abbey.

Who would have thought that a comedy written by women, written for a female audience, that stars all women, would not be understood by a group of middle aged men. I find this all shocking.

The next thing you'll tell me is that Pretty Woman was a bad movie...

I would never do such a thing.

That being said I don't think Bridesmaids was made specifically for a female audience. Do you know a lot of females that find shitting in bathroom sinks to be funny? It was supposed to be a comedy that appealed to all audiences and I know more people thought it was shit than actually enjoyed it.
