Bridesmaids Review

I just watched the move Bridesmaids last night, and I've got two things to say about it. First, if you're below the age of 25 and if your IQ is above room temperature, don't watch it. Second, if you're reasonably old and are judging our generation by this movie, I'm so sorry.
The movie is just straight-up dumb: a two-hour marathon of dick jokes and dirty humor. Now, being a teenager, I'm fine with that. But what bugged me is that it wasn't even funny. It's a basic plot about some women stressing about an impending marriage of one of their friends, and they manage to be terribly annoying about it. None of the characters were admirable; the women were tremendously dim, and most of the male characters (with the exception of the inexplicably Irish policeman) were scumbags.
What really bugs me is the general concept of the movie, the very basic humor. This movie is just a reel of dirty jokes mashed up and stitched together into a basic plot line and it's considered a huge hit and a very successful movie because of that. But if it wasn't a movie, and just a room full of screenwriters making as many jokes about penises as they could, they'd be considered losers, and potentially pedophiles.
All in all, I consider the movie to be pretty disappointing. It had it's good moments, yes, but a couple laughs wasn't worth watching the rest and realizing how the quality of humor has dropped.
