At the theater, the (male) ticket taker took one look at my wife and her roommate and said something to the effect of “You’re both going to love this movie! It was made for you!”Īs it turns out, “Bridesmaids” was decidedly not made for my wife she didn’t care for it at all. It also had its share of annoying side effects. Back in the summer of 2011, my wife - my girlfriend at the time - went with her roommate to see “Bridesmaids,” which had just opened to big box office, glowing reviews and a lot of chatter about how much it meant for women in comedy and women in Hollywood. JUSTIN CHANG: Glenn, bear with me, but I must start this week’s conversation with a personal anecdote. Times film critic Justin Chang sat down with entertainment columnist Glenn Whipp to discuss the enduring appeal of the Kristen Wiig-starring comedy, the obtuseness of the “Are women funny?” debate and the pros and cons of that scene.
The #UltimateSummerMovie Showdown is under way, and voters have chosen “Bridesmaids” (2011) as their winner for Week 2, dedicated to movies first released in theaters from May 8-14 (between 19).
