    This film to me looks like a women's version of the hangover. It's almost as if they weren't happy with such a blokey film, so wrote one for women too!!

    I've got that impression from the trailer, so I'm probably wrong, if I am they need to put out better trailers!

    I thought that too from the trailer .

    but it isn't , it's very much it's own film .

    I thought was hilarious, everyone in the cinema was roaring with laughter. Including Tony Hadley who was sat in front of me, he laughed a lot throughout! :D

    I watched it again last night (second viewing), and it really is so good. It might not be laugh out loud the whole way through but it's just generally entertaining. I also love the Hangover, I wouldn't say they're similar though. I'd watch it again easily.

    ETA: the screen was full, which I think is pretty impressive for being out for so long (although some could be over-spill from Harry Potter being sold out)

    I liked it. thought it was alright.

    but it does feel like a female version of The Hangover.
    Megan is a female version of Alan.

    but its still good never-the-less.

    have had an avoidence of modern day comedies for years now. I only saw The original Hangover for the first time last year, which I again thought was simply "ok" and entertaining, but very over hyped. it wasnt the best thing I had ever seen.
    But it was made out at the time that was "the best comedy ever" which was why I avoided it.

    I think for me, comedy lately has been took over by the same actors they use again and again - such as Vince Vaughn, Adam Sandler, Kevin James, etc - whom I all don't think are funny at all - well, the type of comedy movie they do isn't funny.
    but I do like Steve Carell

    however, Bridesmaids is alright. and maybe some faith has returned to give comedy movies a chance again :D.

    quite fancy Horrible Bosses next

    Horrible Bosses looks pretty good. I thought Morning Glory was pretty good earlier in the year, it just slipped under most people's radar, it had a great cast too. Quite similar to the Devil Wears Prada.

    Bridesmaids is definitely a film for the guys, with all the hot and fit women in it anyway. :)

    Saw this a couple weeks ago with the misses, lets just say it wasn't that good.

    Saw this on Wednesday and thought it was blooming hilarious! Kristen Wiig is an absolute star, we need to see more of her. Not entirely convinced by Chris O'Dowd, something slightly stilted about his performance, but my absolute favourite was Melissa McCarthy as Megan. Anyway, I loved the film and created this trivia quiz in celebration, enjoy! www.ivillage.co.uk/the-bridesmaids-trivia-quiz

    Even though I'm not in the film's target audience (I'm a 15 year old male), I didn't think any of the women were attractive. Obviously the fat one (I've forgotten her name) wasn't meant to be:D

    I got 18 out of 19 :D Got the one about what type of food they ate at the restaurant.

    Really?! Not even Rose Byrne who played Helen? Well I suppose I'm a female and that may be a reason why we have different opinions :p Although I wouldn't mind be as unattractive as them :p:D

    The Hangover is probably the most overrated comedy of all time. It had some funny parts but it's nowhere near as funny as the hype it accumulated. I feel Bridesmaids is similar in the word of mouth hype except for the fact that it's actually deserved as opposed to the Hangover. Don't get me started on Hangover 2, only retarded monkeys would find that entertaining or funny.
