Bridesmaids comes in at #245 on my Flickchart |
The missus and I had a chance to take in Bridesmaids while down at the shore this week. Not a very good cinema (back breaking seats, dim screen, tinny sound, feint smell of urine[?]), which made the experience less than it should have been, but a very funny movie that had both of us laughing, at times until tears were pouring out our eyes.
(Minor spoilers follow ... ) The elderly couple in front of us was not amused. We couldn't help but wonder if they they thought they were in for a typically schmaltzy romcom. When the pooping started in earnest, and the vomit was flying, I think I may have accidentally kneed the back of one of their seats (tight rows), exacerbating their humorlessness.
Walking out of the theater, a couple of white-haired ladies hobbling in noted our red-eyed, breathless egress and asked hopefully, "It was funny?" "Oh yes," we assured them, "you'll love it!"
