The movie didn't spend a lot of time on it, but I think Lillian felt that she had to have a very fancy wedding because her fiance was from a well off family and he traveled in those circles. I remember her making a comment about how her father could not afford a lot of the wedding extravaganza that Helen was planning but it all happened anyway. My cousin married a guy from a wealthy family and she felt a lot of pressure to put on a big society wedding, and it resulted in a very small but very expensive wedding (that I didn't even get invited to! I got a beautiful calligraphied invitation to have cake and champagne after the sit down dinner at the gourmet restaurant. But I'm not bitter!  ). Her parents could afford it, but they didn't really live that kind of lifestyle. I know it was hard for her to plan the kind of wedding his family expected without draining her parents' retirement savings. |

I finally got around to watching this. I really liked it, even though I had to close my eyes for the dress scene. Vomit is never funny. I loved Melissa McCarthy's character. Especially when she went to Annie's house with the nine(!) puppies and admits she may have overcommitted a little. I giggled about that line for hours.

Rewatching it now. My favorite part was the same as when I saw it in the theater: when Annie calls the flight attendant Stove instead of Steve.

When she says, "Help me, I'm poor," I LOLed. I don't know why that's so funny, but it is.

"Are you an appliance, STOVE?"
There are quite a few quotable quotes. "I'm glad he's single, 'cause I'm gonna climb that like a tree."

My favourite was when Megan was trying to snap Annie out of her pity fest. Megan starts wrestling/biting Annie and tells her "I am Life, biting you on the ass!"

"Fight, Annie! Fight for your crappy life!" I love that scene!

Don' t remember the line exactly, but when Melissa McCarthy tells Kristen that she may have over-committed with nine puppies and she feels more comfortable with six makes me giggle every time!

Oh man, I need to wander over to the unpopular movie opinions thread. It took me three days to watch this movie (I kept turning it off to go to bed... yeah. Not a good sign). I did not like this flick, and I was really wanting to like it. Ug. It just sort of hurt to watch. And I never even cracked a smile. So disappointed. I wanted to like this too. Bummer.

Universal is considering a sequel without Wiig or a script from her and Annie Mumulo. |
