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 [personal profile] 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.

This is 100% what I came in here to do. I made it about 30 minutes into Bridesmaids and gave up--I kept waiting for it to start being good, and it was just dreadful. Could not cope.

Kisa, I didn't find Pitch Perfect to hit any of the humiliation buttons that Bridesmaids did, for whatever it's worth. Pitch Perfect is much, much...I hesitate to say tamer, but it's the only thing I'm coming up with. Bridesmaids was rather like a bunch of grown-ass women acting like stupid teenagers. Pitch Perfect felt relatively demographically appropriate, and was sweet and charming, neither of which I could apply to Bridesmaids.

uh, end rant. Sorry.

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*

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.
