Review:
This was supposed o be the new Bridesmaid and yet it just doesn't live up to any of the hype. I was hoping for a funny movie and an interesting commentary on female relationships. Instead, the female characters are just pathetic. They are fake, demented, and complete bitches. I was not impressed. But I must say that there are a few good lines sprinkled throughout the movie.
Best Bits:
- Becky: This is all fucked up. I'm gonna walk in wearing my pajamas like I'm fucking Michael Jackson.
- Gena: [to cab driver] Oh my God, if you take Park Avenue I will fucking end you! I will end you!
- Clyde: And you're wearing a dress? Gena: No, actually it's a t-shirt. Clyde: Well, it's good to see you're still fighting the good fight against the tyranny of pants.
- Regan: Okay, how much money do you guys have? Katie: I have 5 maxed out credit cards! Gena: I have a twen... actually I ripped it. I got nothing. Regan: Well, that sums up your lives.
- Gena: Okay, listen to me. There are two different types of guys in bed. Number one, Brian Krakow. Didn't have sex 'til college, super grateful. Literally makes a home down here, sets up shop, wants to live in it. Number two, Jordan Catalano. Won't go near the ares. Terrified of it. Very good looking, but you know, not worth the time.
- Katie: Once I was so stoned I thought I was in an episode of 90210, and I kept yelling "Dylan!". Joe: Awesome! I got so fucked up once on shrooms that I started a fight club with my cats. Katie: I once got so wrecked that I woke up naked next to a hamburger, and I was like "did I just have sex with a hamburger?"
