Films in August are often not worth even considering but this is an exception.
If you love Sandra Bullock well, here she is again as an FBI agent (remember Miss Congeniality?) and the wonderful McCarthy is the perfect partner for her. SB as the uptight goody-goody agent and MM as the foul mouthed cop who'll break all the rules to get her man. But of course both of them have a soft centre...
The language is bad, the humour vulgar and feminist.
And the colleague who keeps trying to chat SB up, drop dead beautiful. And the rest of the men baddies or hopeless, or both, you know the sort of thing.
It was perfect therapy for the night before we moved out of our house. On in cinemas now. (but don't go if you don't like swearing and vagina jokes, really, really, don't go there, you won't like it grin)

Had a good write up; we're going to see Frances Ha tomorrow [also good reviews].

Told by my DDs not to go to Bridesmaids, not my sort of film they said, but enjoyed this. Loved McCarthy, what a gal, and Sandra Bullock is always worth watching. smile

Very few good films out at the moment, but annoyingly they're all coming out when I'm on holiday. This is one of them. Frances Ha was sweet but I wouldn't rave about it [although I'd like to see it again on dvd; it's very Woody Allen'ish]. The S.O. wants to see the new Steve Coogan but I'm not keen. Seeing Blancanieves [sp] next week; a fantasy reworking of Snow White set in Seville; silent and in black and white. Should be interesting confused. And I want to see the new Lone Ranger; mixed reviews but I can watch Johnny Depp in anything.

ganja I loved Bridesmaids - went with my niece and we both cackled away loudly throughout. My SILs always think their mother should be sheltered from all sexual references. I remind them that she was a ward sister in a London hospital and has seen sights that they never will.
