I think the election of the cast is good and works well and the proposal for a story should work but this movie is just not funny ... or I don't fit in the profile of the target spectator.

Really funny chick flick. It's amazing what women fight about. To a guy none of what happened in this movie would make us act like that. Very entertaining to watch though.

When best friend “Lilian” (Maya Rudolph) announces that she is to marry, “Annie” (Kristen Wiig) is determined to be her maid of honour. Problem? Well her life is a shambles. She is having a relationship with the wealthy Porsche driver, her job isn’t exactly going well and she hasn’t two cents to rub together. Everyone knows that getting married is an expensive business and with the bachelorette party amongst the myriad of responsibilities she is vying to take, she is going to have to improvise! Just to add to her problems, she is pulled over by policeman “Rhodes” (Chris O’Dowd) for having dodgy brake lights. Now we have all the information we need to predict the rest of this really well-padded two hours of romantic comedy. Except, well, I just didn’t find much of it very funny. There is a short purple patch between her and “Rhodes” but otherwise it’s a fairly savage indictment of the culture of being BFFs, of bitchiness and misplaced loyalties and it also contrives to present us with a matrimonial scenario (with little input from the groom) from hell. Indeed, if this is what folk have to go through to get hitched in Milwaukee, then perhaps Matt Lucas’s “Gil” had the right idea. As usual, you can rely on Melissa McCarthy to deliver and her “Megan” character saved the day on a few occasions for me, but in the main this is really all a bit too join-the-dots with fickle friendships that haven’t the value of a soggy giant cookie. It’s formulaic stuff that I doubt I shall ever recall.
