Most films are funnier than Bridesmaids, surely?? I got bored really quickly with it. Give me a good quality British comedy every time! Full Monty, Four Weddings, even good old Monty Python films.

Louise5754 · 28/11/2021 16:46

Yep one of my top 3.

Step Brothers
Daddy's Home 1 and 2
Bridesmaids

@LazyMareofEastown

@flashpaper

I actually can't believe no one has mentioned Good Boys. I've watched this so many times and I still laugh out loud.
Agree loved this film at cinema must watch again.

Airplane, The Full Monty always make me laugh whenever I watch them

blessedbethechocolate · 28/11/2021 17:03

Not my kind of humour I didn't laugh once.

I like

Anchorman
Blades of glory
Kingpin
Shaun of the dead
Hot fuzz
What we do in the shadows
The voices.

"Guide your dad into your mum"

What a phrase! 🤣🤣

Gingernaut · 28/11/2021 20:11

TBH, it's a tragedy played for laughs. It's horrible.

I prefer Schindler's List.

CrimbleCrumble1 · 28/11/2021 20:21

Death of Stalin.

KindergartenKop · 28/11/2021 21:40

I love Bridesmaids and also loved the Pitch Perfect films and the Ghostbusters film with the ladies.

Crinkle77 · 28/11/2021 22:40

Bridesmaids is dreadful!

thefourgp · 28/11/2021 22:42

Yes - all of them

HowDareYouStealThatCar · 28/11/2021 23:04

I'm another one who doesn't get the appeal of Bridesmaids - had to fast forward through the toilet scene to avoid vomming. I miss when Melissa McCarthy played sweet Sookie in Gilmore Girls as opposed to the roles she is now typecast in Sad

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 30/11/2021 20:33

@CrimbleCrumble1

Death of Stalin.
Omg yes that is very funny! And an all star cast.

Oh god I forgot I even started this thread - I wrote it at the end of a very drunken night out.

Off back to read your suggestions and criticism of the movie Grin

Hasn't dated well at all. Bitchy rivalry (stereotypical white women), zero diversity, 'funny fat girls.'...'LOL..WE DON'T THINK AS MUCH AS THIN WOMEN SO PIN US AS THE TARGET OF ALL JOKES"!!!! The choices portayed in terms of life...1.: join the elite married or 2. Move back in with your mum.
Shit all round really

StillMedusa · 05/12/2021 00:13

Airplane! (My all time favourite for all the quotes)
Naked Gun
Pitch Perfect
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (even my Gran howled at that!)

saltandherbsandnothingnice · 05/12/2021 00:18

How interesting that this is so polarised.

I LOVED it - so original - and think it's v funny and clever.

Is this generational maybe? I'm 29.

MsInsomniac · 05/12/2021 01:00

Borat is the funniest film ever.

Bringonthebloodydrama · 05/12/2021 08:08

The reason I disliked it is because I thought here was nothing original about it 🤷‍♀️ I guess it's personal opinion...I'm 40

Bringonthebloodydrama · 05/12/2021 08:09

MsInsomniac.....yes I laughed out loud at bits of Borat!

User2638483 · 05/12/2021 08:13

I have to admit I found the two inbetweeners movies very laugh out loud funny. If you liked bridesmaids you might like them

RussianSpy101 · 05/12/2021 08:23

@GraceKelly259 airplane scene is HILARIOUS 😂
