		<description><![CDATA[I should, by all accounts, have a secret celebrity crush on Jessica Biel or Brooklyn Decker – you know, a blonde or brunette knockout with a drool-worthy body and the kind of smoldering face that magnetizes you in some kind of lustful tractor beam. But guess what? I don’t. In fact, other than a slight infatuation with Olivia Wilde (but only in her Tron: Legacy get-up), my secret celebrity crush is Kristen Wiig. There. I said it and I don’t care who knows. Honesty is the best policy. Let the mocking begin. At any rate, you’re thinking right now, Kristen Who? Sure, Kristen Wiig is certainly not a household name, but any fan of Saturday Night Live knows her face, humor and how talented she is, something she’s proven in her minor movie roles (Knocked Up, Ghost Town, Adventureland, Whip It!, MacGruber, Paul), and that she easily demonstrates again in Bridesmaids, her first big-time lead role. Wiig easily carries the movie, but she’s got help and the end result is a hilarious ensemble comedy with strong female performances and that Judd Apatow (he produces) brand of hilarity that meshes heart and in-your-face humor. Bridesmaids tells the story of Annie (Wiig), a kindhearted and somewhat aimless thirtysomething woman who has let failed relationships and the collapse of her Milwaukee bakery business derail her life. She’s running in place and disillusioned, drowning her sorrows with booze and stints as an f-buddy of a serious douchebag (Jon Hamm), and she’s about to lose her job at a jewelry store clerk because she depresses all the potential ring-buyers. To make matters worse, Annie’s best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is getting married and wants her to be the maid of honor, a seemingly easy proposition, except that Lillian has a clingy, wealthy new friend, Helen (Rose Byrne), who takes every opportunity to break up Annie and Lillian’s lifelong BFF status. Bridesmaids is hilarious from start to finish, but the bulk of the comedy comes as Annie tries to be the perfect maid of honor and, as is her luck, nothing goes right. The bridesmaids, except for Helen, who won’t eat meat before a dress fitting, are all food poisoned (I laughed so hard during this scene I couldn’t breathe), and, after being drunk and drugged by Helen on their way to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party, Annie gets the whole crew booted off the plane. Lillian hands the planning duties over to Helen and, after a nuclear meltdown by Annie at Lillian’s bridal shower, asks Annie to stay away. Add to this Annie giving romance with a kindhearted police officer the middle finger, and her roommates – a portly and creepy British brother and sister pair – booting her from her apartment and regulating her to living with her mother (the late Jill Clayburgh), Annie has officially, in her words, hit rock bottom. What I love about Bridesmaids is the women are unapologetic. They fart, swear, drink, talk about sex and are, frankly, real...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first time I’ve seen or heard anything about the upcoming (May 13, 2011) comedy, Bridesmaids, and odds are this movie will blow six ways from Sunday, but I’m holding out hope this flick will make me laugh as much as the trailer did. This looks like the chick version of The Hangover. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the soulless, unimaginative drones in Hollywood belched out a concept like Bridesmaids. Still, I cling to hope. And why? Easy. I love Saturday Night Live’s Kristen Wiig (MacGruber) and Maya Rudolph (Away We Go). Wiig’s deadpanned delivery cracks me up and she comes across, both onscreen and off, as the type of easygoing, carefree person that you would love to be friends with. Same with Rudolph, whose performance as a mother-to-be in Sam Mendes’ Away We Go was absolutely fantastic. If you haven’t seen Away We Go, Netflix that bad boy STAT, because it is pure gold from top-to-bottom. At any rate, check out the trailer for Bridesmaids and let me know your thoughts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I simply have no words for how massively brainless and regurgitated Grown Ups looks from the trailer below. Adam Sandler and I aren’t on speaking terms after last summer’s pooptastic, Funny People, so there is no way he’s going to redeem this sinking ship. Frankly, this is like an all-star lineup of comedy has-beens, especially with Schneider and Spade.  I’m sure there are a few giggles here and there, but considering this movie is directed by Dennis Dugan (The Benchwarmers, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan), it just feels used and cheap. Take a peek below and let me know your thoughts. Does the addition of Salma Hayek (Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant) and Maria Bello (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) help at all? My thoughts? No. This movie will suck the sweat of a dead man’s balls.]]></description>
