My original intention was not to see this movie, but when I heard my friends were going to and got an invite to tag along with them; I said to myself "Why not."
So thirty minutes into the movie and I'm already laughing my head off saying to myself "This is 100 times funnier and more clever than the trailers for this made it look!". I'm serious, I should not trust movie trailers anymore and go with my gut instinct on what I personally think this movie could be. I will admit I'm not a huge Saturday Night Live fan, but I've always thought Kristen Wiig was clever at everything she did; and this movie shows the best of it.
The jokes are funny; the characters are well developed and likeable; pretty much everything that should be done in a film, this movie follows. The actors especially were top notch compared to most comedies you see now today. I know this may be a bit overreaching because the release date was kind of early but I could totally see Kristen Wiig getting a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) for this film. It's possible.
For the record, this is NOT a chick flick. After seeing this movie, it's FAR from it. This movie shows that women can be clever and funny in a crude way as well. Not every movie starring women is the next Sex and the City like film. I mean in my personal opinion, I found this to be funnier than The Hangover Part II and I laughed my ass off at that as well. If you had any thoughts about this being another chick flick, forget those and go see this movie ASAP. This is one you do not want to miss out on.
