at last someone else who likes get him to the Greek!

I think it's funny

lupad · 28/11/2021 09:14

I found white chicks pretty dreadful

My god that movie is not funny in the slightest.

I never understand the love for it.

I found it funny but I love the fact it actually changed the film industry. It was a female led film with no big names that was successful & made it easier for the likes of Pitch Perfect to get made.

I hate Bridesmaids! Especially the gross out toilet scene signposted from the moment she suggested eating in that restaurant. Only seen it once , that was enough.
If you want a feminist , funny film that makes you think try ' Muriel's wedding '
Far superior

@lupad

Bad teacher is funny
Bad Teacher is so funny @lupad! Thank you for reminding me to put it on the rotation list. We are both teachers at Chez OnosHat and we love it, so many quotable lines

If the younger generation doesn't get into opera, then, guess what? No more opera! An art form has died. If opera goes away, we're fucked!

My decision that I made myself to leave was super difficult, but when the superintendent personally asks you to work at one of the worst schools in the state, well, you say, "Yes." And, boy, I am looking forward to bringing my brand of zany energy to those underprivileged students at Malcolm X High School!

Well, that’s my spiel, as the Jews say!

And “Period Five, the teacher band!” Is our shorthand for any crap band in a pub. Can’t singalong with ‘Lullabye’ if it comes on without doing it in the style of Period Five (“Rockabyyyyyyyyyyyye!”) 😂

It was ok, had a COUPLE of funny moments, some of it awful, some sad.
The one with Rebel Wilson, Isn’t it Romantic, is much funnier., but there are lots much funnier, nicer films out there than Bridesmaids.

It was another false advertising claim, comedy film, that really wasn’t, sadly

@8misskitty8

White chicks. Seen it loads and still laugh at.
Same here. White Chicks is hilarious.
ThirdElephant · 28/11/2021 09:27

I really hope so, tbh.

lupad · 28/11/2021 09:34

@YokoOnosHat I've worked in a school before 😆.

You have similar taste to me looking at your list.

I watched Young Adult recently. Charlize is quite funny in that.

Confetti
Hot fuzz
Shawn of the dead
Muriels wedding

If you ever worked at an american summercamp then wet hot american summer.

Almost anything

storkstalk · 28/11/2021 09:45

Yes, any other comedy film.

Wine trip

TheWeeDonkey · 28/11/2021 09:47

I do love Bridesmaids, but I think Airplane is the funniest film I've ever seen. Its just so silly, I've seen it loads of times but still laugh my head off at it

I love most of the films already mentioned too

MrsFin · 28/11/2021 09:48

Mouse in the House
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Airplane
10
The Life of Brian
Arthur
Some Like it Hot
The First Wives Club
House Party

All oldies, but all funnier than Bridesmaids

mydogisthebest · 28/11/2021 09:52

I can't be bothered to list the hundreds of films that are funnier than Bridesmaids which is not funny in the slightest

BonesInTheOcean · 28/11/2021 09:53

@PivotPivotPivottt

We're The Millers
that is actually quite funny

Bridesmaids is a bit formulaic though, woman feels jealous and wants to outdo new friend, cue toilet humour, drunken mess on flight due to drug mishap... yawn

for truly sublime masterful humour, you need Hot Fuzz

Youngatheart00 · 28/11/2021 09:55

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned Superbad yet!

Very silly, hilarious, one of my all time faves

Onlinedilema · 28/11/2021 09:56

I enjoyed it but agree it was too long ( same as lots of films)

boringaccountant · 28/11/2021 09:57

I couldn't really get on with Bridesmaids, found it more awkward than funny. Loved - We're The Millers, Vacation, Horrible Bosses. There are probably others but they're the ones that stand out over the last decade or so for me.

What was funny about Muriel's Wedding?! Confused
EdithGrantham · 28/11/2021 09:59

@MrsFin I'm glad someone finally mentioned Some Like It Hot, it's my favourite film "Who talks like that, nobody talks like that?"
Another person here who didn't find Bridesmaids funny. Similar to another poster I can think of more that I didn't like than ones I do but some are:
Hot Tub Time Machine
The Cornetto Trilogy
Four Lions
Zoolander (although the way women are portrayed in that and other similar films now really bothers me)
Easy A
Black Sheep
Blazing Saddles
