Hugest rec ever!

Pitch Perfect. Seriously.

I haven't seen Bridesmaids yet, but I've been recced it so highly; I keep meaning to check it out because it's been recced by people I trust. All the reasons that people are reccing that? They're the reasons I'm reccing this. (Great friendships between women, the romance is not sappy and not front and center, speaking of front and center, a collection of truly wonderful supporting lady characters, and then, THERE'S MUSIC. AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING MUSIC.)

I bought it in my hotel room last night (I get a free movie as a perk, no worries), and not only did I watch it all the way through gleefully, I immediately recced it to meghanc, rewound it to the beginning and watched it again with her.

So amazing. I was up until 5am last night (writing pinch hits, too, not just the movie, though that made it awesome) and I don't mind at all. SO. GOOD.

Oh, really! That's fascinating because the two movies seem so similar! And see, this is the reservation I had about Bridesmaids originally - but people I trust just kept reccing it to me, so then I was like, "maybe I'm missing something" and now... arg. Well, I'll try it and see. I don't do humiliation humor so if it's that bad I'll just turn it off.

Thanks, sweetheart! <3333

Yeah, Bridesmaids is kind of the same humor as in the Hangover movies, except now the case is all female. So somewhat tragic characters, some toilet humor, but also chicks hanging out and doing stuff together. You might like it, you might not *hands*

Hm, okay, well, maybe it isn't for me, then. The Hangover movies are not at all interesting to me. :| I might try it sometime, but I'm not going to put it too high up on the list.

Thanks for the description, that really helps. :D

If you end up watching Bridesmaids, I'd be really interested to hear how you feel about it. I sort of suspect that it's going to push your make it stop buttons, but...but interested, I guess is what I'm saying.

I really, really wanted to like it--women! Being buddies! Multiple fat women in the same movie! But...no.

<333 I will definitely let you know, bb. It's moved back down my list of "movies I want to see" (which is, you know, like, 6000 long) so I might not ever get there.
