I love it too. I can still remember seeing it in theatres the first time and laughing so hard during the "it's coming out of me like lava! AAARRGGGHH!" scene that I couldn't see the screen anymore from all the tears in my eyes.

I watched Bridesmaids a year or so after its release. Mentally I was in a very bad place at the time and this film cheered me up like nothing else. I love it so much.

Oh, I'm the local thread killah so I'm going right into 2016 with this UO: I think I might be in like with Ethan Hawke again. I recently watched Before Midnight and totally enjoyed his performance. He was also really good in Boyhood. Mid-40s Hawke is kinda hot.

I know I should not have liked this : Blended. I was all prepared to hate this Adam Sandler movie just on principle (it IS Adam Sandler, after all!), but damn if he and Drew Barrymore make stupid likable funny films. I am slightly ashamed.

I can't help it, I like Adam Sandler movies. Especially ones with Drew Barrymore.

I like "The Wedding Singer," but that was when Sandler seemed like he was still trying and not just vomiting out dreck for the sake of dreck.

My UO is that I cannot stand "Jerry Maguire." Between "show me the money!," "you complete me," and "you had me at hello" it gives me a giant rage headache.

I totally agree on Jerry Maguire - and I like romantic comedies. I just never bought into the romance of that movie at all. I never felt like they were in love, i felt like she wore him down. I didn't feel like they were a good couple so it just undermined the whole movie. And I didn't like Tom Cruise. Wow, I felt a little stronger about that than I thought.

I could never get over the uneven editing of Jerry Maguire, or the back-and-forth reversals (I love you, now I don't, now I really love you.) Still makes the whole film very choppy and painful to watch for me.

I hate the business side of sports, so JM lost me right off with that shit. I also didn't like the madonna/whore aspect of it between Renee Zellweger and Kelly Preston. Kelly Preston's character was a woman who was very smart and great at fucking, but she was ambitious and demanded that her lover make the effort to succeed in life, and don't you just hate women like that audience? Now look at this woman, audience. Renee Zellweger is, first and foremost, adorable. Better yet, she's willing to be an assistant and let her man lead the way. Sure, she's not a great lay who brings out your inner passion, but she's a "good woman," you know, the kind you marry.

I also hated the scenes where the women meetup and cry and carry on (of course!) about men. Those wacky women and their wacky emotions! They need men soooo badly. Bite me Cameron Crowe.

Rear Window...bores. I know it's a complex, "psychological" thriller, which requires a decent attention span to get through, but...boring. I watched it again the other night in a real theater and the tedium was painful.

Haaaa! DeGrassi, that's so funny. JM is one of the few movies from Tiny Tom that I actually like, but dang if you aren't dead on right.
