Why 'Bridesmaids' Will Spawn a New Generation of Gross-Out Copycats
“Bridesmaids” stormed out the gates on opening weekend.
A sequel is already in the works. Yet the fashionable thing to do on the internet is to downplay the effect this film will have on the entertainment landscape. That’s the safe thing to do. Lower expectations. Bet on mediocrity.
Well nuts to that. What’s the use of a blog if you don’t stick your neck out? “Bridesmaids” is a great movie. It deserves every bit of praise it’s been getting and it will change Hollywood. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.
SPOILERS AHEAD
To understand why this movie is going to change comedy you have to get into what makes it such an effective comedy.
I laughed hard during “Bridesmaids.” There were several sequences where my face hurt from simultaneously laughing and grimacing.
One of those scenes is the now infamous dress-fitting gag where Kristen Wiig and her co-stars succumb to a bout of food poisoning.
What follows is an orgy of gas, vomit, and explosive bowel movements that belongs in the Gross-Out Joke Hall of Fame.
We’ve seen jokes like that before. The Farrelly Brothers made it their calling card a decade ago. But this time it’s different. The characters are in designer gowns in an ultra-posh boutique that has a call box out front.
This is a place where you have to book in advance for a dress fitting. A place like this has a bathroom that’s as dainty as a Victorian tea set. This is in no way the place to have an attack of the runs. And that’s why it’s so funny.
This is also the reason why “Bridesmaids” will change comedy.
This joke would not be half as funny with guys. For one dudes probably wouldn’t be in a shop like that in the first place. Secondly, even with fanciest tuxedo poses no real problem to dropping your trousers in the event of an emergency.
