I’m a 47 year old female. I can’t stand chick flicks. Give me Tommy Boy over Steel Magnolias any day. While I prefer my time in the barn, I can get dressed up and be as ladylike as well. This movie just might be worth seeing and I only go to the theatre once every few years.
I saw it this past week myself, and its good, its not all over the top raunch.. sure it has some, but its not all raunch all the time... in fact its really more of a story of a gal falling down and coming to terms with issues in her life, and her friends, more than a flat out raunch comedy.
Don’t get me wrong its definitely got some moments, but its not the same as the Hangover.
In fact there are some very slow moving parts in the middle, and there are few scenes where they milk a comedy pretense a bit too far and long and it doesn’t work well, but its an overall decent story.
I was suprised that the main love interest was an actor from the British series The I.T. Crowd, more than anything else. I hadn’t seen him in any US films before.
The I.T. Crowd is a hysterical series, and I love the show, even though because its British means that a “season” is only 6 or 8 episodes, still its some damned funny stuff. You can find it on NetFlix on demand if you have it.
