[niuxita21.livejournal.com]

I feel exactly the same way, anon. I loved the movie, it made me laugh so hard, but at the same time it depressed the FUCK out of me because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up just like Annie in the future (minus the cute cop boyfriend). :(

[sailorgenerous]

Oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one. This entire movie seemed like one big trauma conga line. :/

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Oh thank God, I had generally been left with the impression everyone everywhere loved this movie. I had a hard time even finishing this movie-- and I still can't figure out why every girl I work with was all OMG I LUV THIS MOVIE. Apparently I've just had to put up with one too many people like the Stepford-ish antagonist over the course of my life...?



Also the protagonist's wannabe love interest seemed like a generally nice guy-- which IMO there aren't enough of in comedies-- and she treated him like crap, which made me a sad panda for him.

[sakikotetsu.livejournal.com]

Weird opposite opinion, but the fact that I related with Annie so much was the only thing I liked about it.

Well, not liked about it exactly, but really appreciated her character and she was my only real anchor throughout the film.

EITHER WAY though, I know what you mean, OP D:

[teh-faolkitty.livejournal.com]

That was part of why I enjoyed it so much, really. Did make me squirm something awful at certain points though.

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

Well, that was part of what I liked about it! It was really painful/sad at some points though. Like right now I'm kind of coming to terms with the fact that the girl who was my best friend for most of my life isn't really my best friend anymore. And I doubt I'm going to get the happy ending with her that Annie did. :[

[verschreibsel.livejournal.com]

She kinda reminded me of me too but so does every "loser" in movies.
I still thought the movie was hilarious is badly marketed.

[lumin0l.livejournal.com]

Me too, anon. I watched the movie right when my friend got married and I was her maid of honor. I felt so much better about how I felt about the wedding and how I was behaving afterwards *-*

[(Anonymous)]

I think watching it can make people squirm because there's a lot in Annie that we might see in ourselves - working a job we hate, living with people who are inconsiderate, knowing we're at a dead-end in our love life but still clinging on to a bad relationship, feeling like our dreams weren't as reachable as we thought, watching our closest friends grow apart from us.

But I think of the reasons that it's so popular with women is because seeing all these facets to Annie's life, being able to identify with her, is a big deal because she's a woman. Too often, characters with that many issues in their lives that we're encouraged to route for are men. Female characters, particularly in comedies, usually only have problems revolving around their love lives, and anything else tends to be more superficial. Annie was well-rounded and her love life was just one issue of many, and that made a refreshing change.

[(Anonymous)]

Frankly, I hated this movie. I hate the whole woman-can't-feel-good-about-herself-without-a-man theme. It's just not true: I know lots of women who feel very happy without a man. I felt a lot happier when I was single. Why do films need to ram this message down our throats? Are they afraid if we wake up to the lie that we'll take over the world?

Also the storyline with Maya Rudolph was a huge cop-out. Her whole story was driving towards her meltdown being about how mismatched she and her fiance were, and then they wimped out and made it about how much she missed Wiig, and that the Perfect Girl had taken over her wedding planning. Gutless.

[frostoria.livejournal.com]

For a comedy, this movie is surprisingly depressing. It's just a whole string of "can her life get any worse? yep, it just did". Not gonna lie though, a lot of issues regarding the wedding was Annie's own doing, and I was torn between cheering (because I love watching characters snap) and thinking she's a bitch when she ruined the bridal shower.

[tabaqui]

I loathed every second of this movie that i could stand to watch. I ended up fast-fowarding through a lot of it and just...really was baffled as to why *anyone* would like it.

*and not because i identified with anyone in it, i just found the characters shrill, obnoxious and vulgar*

[icarian-ink.livejournal.com]

I found it funny, but it was also really uncomfortable. Everyone I know loved it, but I have no desire to experience the discomfort again. I usually just say it had more serious moments in it than I wanted it to.

[vongroovy.livejournal.com]

I wasn't interested in seeing it, but everyone praised it so much (and I found out Chris O'Dowd was in it) that I ended up watching it with expectations that it was going to be the funniest ever and instead found it one of the most depressing movies I'd ever seen. I almost couldn't get through it, it was so painful to watch.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll be honest but I'm glad that I avoided the movie when it was in the cinema. What originally turned me was the fact that the token 'large chick' had a different 'more modest' dress, but reading the plot.

Anyway, since it's painful for you, maybe you can divert their attention from the movie with something. Good luck.

[palavenian.livejournal.com]

I feel kind of horrible saying this, but I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one? I thought it was such a funny movie, but when I told my close friends it made me feel a little depressed and lonely they looked at me like I grew a third arm.

[citrusy-fun.livejournal.com]

hated this movie.
hated this movie.
hated. this. movie.

My sister thinks it's hilarious. I thought it was painful, I thought all the characters except the sister (the one who took all the puppies), were horrible. I hated the 'lets make her life worse and worse and worse and worse' plot.

I really did not think this movie was funny. It was like... a clown doing a walk of shame in the morning. Rubber nose missing, one shoe broken, makeup smeared, hair a mess... that's what this movie was for me.

[(Anonymous)]

i loved this movie because of how surprisingly depressing it was, lol. i relate to it a lot, and i find it hilarious too, so i don't know. it pushes all my buttons and i love that it can do that. my sister didn't understand when i watched it with her, which did make me feel a little lonely, but when i watched it with my best friends and they told me they got it, i felt really great. idk, it felt great to know that my best friends could identify with the same things as me, haha

[fadeinthewash.livejournal.com]

Me too, anon. And now I'm sort of depressed because I realized I had way more going for me at the time I watched that movie than I do at the moment, and I was still tearing up in the theater a couple times. =\

[(Anonymous)]

Me too, except I didn't find it all that funny. I was extremely disappointed because I love(d) Kristen Wigg and Maya Rudolph on SNL and Bridesmaids fell flat for me. It seemed too realistic and I could relate to it way too much that it was just painful to watch.

[(Anonymous)]

...Wow, so you guys relate to a whiny, selfish, stuck up bitch who couldn't face her own problems that she herself created?
