Judging from previews I saw of this movie, I was kind of reluctant to see it at first. It seemed like just another typical trying-to-hard-to-be-funny chick-flick type of movie... which is not really my type of movie.
But then, Vern pointed out that it was produced by Judd Apatow AND directed by Paul Feig (of Freaks and Geeks fame) AND written by and starring Kristen Wiig (who we always love). I don't know why I didn't know all of that in the first place (besides the Kristen Wiig part). I guess my movie knowledge has kind of dwindled since we let our subscription to Entertainment Weekly run out.
Anyway, it was our anniversary, so it seemed appropriate to see a wedding themed type of movie.
And, let me tell you... it did not disappoint! The was the funniest movie I have seen in a loooooooooong time. It was laugh-out-loud funny from someone who doesn't always laugh out loud (me). And there is this one scene in this movie, the bridal shop scene, that will go down in the history of movies as one of the most hilarious scenes ever made.
But not only that, this movie had heart. It was sweet and funny and just an all around really good flick.
Now, let's talk about the previews. There is this new Amy Adams / Jason Segel movie coming out that had the best trailer. So cute... and surprising! Watch to find out...

we loved it too, laughed so hard. I was a bit distracted at the very end by the small children in the theater (that happens to me, we once had to leave a movie and change what we were seeing because the kids in there were freaking me out. not the thought of the noise they'd make, but the actual idea of a couple of 5 year olds seeing a horror movie was too disturbing for me).
LOVED this movie...saw it twice!
Funny--I felt the same way, about not wanting to see it at first but loving it when I did see it. We laughed so hard. There were a bunch of old people in the audience (it was a matinee) and I felt kind of weird because they didn't seem to be laughing.
