Bridesmaids: What's your take?

In case you hadn't heard, Bridesmaids came out this weekend. The movie, co-written by and starring Kristen Wiig, has caused a major hubbub in certain circles -- because not that many funny movies by and about (but like, really about) funny ladies come out that often, and people were really banking on this one doing well.

Well hey, guess what?! It did! Bridesmaids has gotten roundly amazing reviews and is set to rake in about $21 million this weekend -- coming in second place only to Thor, an enormous-budget summer superhero flick. (Which, critically speaking, is said to be nowhere close to Bridesmaids, quality-wise.)

Why did Bridesmaids do so well? Duh! It's funny! It's about smart, funny, original women characters who are concerned with things other than their boyfriends, and it is so hilarious that it will make you cry. Pretty self-explanatory, right?

Did you see the movie? Let us know what you thought! (Any thoughts on the over-the-top bridal wear?)
