Bridesmaids

I took a break from my daily grind last night. Knowing the Sharks were playing, I purposely accepted an invitation to hang out with my girlfriends and get away from the torture known as the Sharks playoffs. Good thing I did because it was a heartbreaking loss last night. Ugh. There goes another Sharks season down the drain. Ugh…but anyway…I digress.

I met up with some friends after work to catch a showing of Bridesmaids (you know, that chick flick that is suppose to be the female version of Hangover). And trust me, after the day that I had at work yesterday, I would’ve much preferred a shot, but made due with a girls night out and a movie instead. The movie definitely helped me get my mind off work and being around the company of friends was really nice. It was a great excuse to hang out and catch up.

However, for as much as I’ve heard from my other girlfriends that Bridesmaids was so freakin’ hilarious…it really was just alright. I mean, yes, there were parts of it that were really funny and, yes, I did enjoy it…but I guess my expectations were just set way too high because I thought the movie was just ok.

The movie was totally relatable. I think any female who has ever been in a wedding, has had to deal with prissy two-faced mean girls and has ever faced being in a relationship with a bad dude can relate to this movie. It really did have great potential. But for as much as I could relate to the character and her problems during the course of the movie, I thought the ending was very poorly executed. It just seemed like the writers were tired and wanted to wrap up the movie and just end it. It was a pretty big let down and left a lot of things unexplained and unresolved…which I did not like.

So yeah...it was a good night with friends, an ok movie overall…and a terrible night to be a Sharks fan.
