bridesmaids (2011). directed by paul feig.


i am used to judd apatow's man-boy movies. it is funny in an infantile way, somehow i can imagine that most men out there are like that anyway. but i am not used to woman-girl movies. it's something else to watch women shit their pants (or in the street, could it get any worse?), or taking a dump in the sink or throw up on top of each other. are women an embodiment of insecurities, petty jealousies, rivalries that knows no end - and grown up women at that? i find the woman-girls of this movie unattractive and least of all funny. not that i can't laugh at the indignities we common people often find ourselves in - it is at best tragic-funny. 

there must be a line between funny and gross.
