![]() ![]() ![]() We’re here to talk about the ending, and if it disappointed you the way it did me. ![]() And it’s funny! It’s not a perfect movie - the pace is a little draggy in spots, and this viewer frankly wouldn’t have minded a little more of the collective bridesmaids (the film’s best comic set pieces are those big group scenes, and a couple more of those wouldn’t have hurt - as it is, we don’t get near enough of Ellie Kemper or Wendi McLendon-Covey). Last weekend, we (and many of you, it seems) plunked down our hard-earned cash to see Bridesmaids - partially out of sheer mad love for Kristen Wiig, partially to do our bit to, as Salon put it, “send a bracing message to a business that has become increasingly oppressive for the women who work within it as well as for those who consume its product.” (In other words: if you’re tired of the sum total of female-driven comedies being soppy Katherine Hiegl vehicles, cast your vote for Bridesmaids in the form of a contribution to its opening weekend box office.) ![]()
