Bridesmaids

Finally saw Bridesmaids over the holidays on DVD.  It's really, really funny, but also very awkward.  There were moments I had to hide behind a pillow because they were so awkward.  I think the movie did a great job portraying female friendships and relationships, even if they can be painfully awkward.  Melissa McCarthy definitely stole the movie - she was so funny.  I love how the air marshal she was hitting on was her real-life husband.  Another funny cameo was the movie's co-writer, Annie Mumolo, who played an extremely nervous fellow passenger on the plane.

The gag reel on the DVD was really hilarious.  It's clear a lot of them do improv during the movie.  The best bits involve Kristen Wiig and Jon Hamm.  They were a great duo.
