    Do I lose my man card if I watch this movie? It's getting great reviews and a 91% on rottentomatoescom.

    I didn't think it was possible for women to be funny.

    91%, seriously? if that movie is funny, they forgot to put any funny parts in the trailer.

    man card? sucks to need a card to prove you're a man.

    i think this looks hilarious.

    Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and watch a chick-flick with your old lady. If you make the choice of the movie, it's much less excruciating, kind of like picking water-boarding over a hot iron.

    For example: She would pick Hope Floats. But if I head that off with Knocked Up and The Wedding Crashers, her appetite for sweet googlies would be satisfied.

    This movie might qualify- it's packed with funny chicks.

    Watching tomorrow, I think it looks funny. I like Wiig so have no problem checking it out.

    I do need a card, and it doesn't work all the time. Watching this movie will not help.

    Looks like they're trying to market it as a chick-flick with masculine (lowbrow) humor and appealing to both genders. I wonder if they might just fall between two stools and be too girly for men, and too crass for women.

    I'd probably give it a shot.

    Kristen Wiig is right up there with Tina Fey as the funniest woman in show biz.

    Yes. I think the answer to the question is YES. :eek:

    Looks like a wait-for-it-on-DVD for me... since it has too many girls in it... sort of like any Sandra Bullock movie (except Speed or Demolition Man).

    :confused: "so I have no problem"?

    I don't find her funny at all. I've previously professed my hatred for one of her longstanding characters on SNL.

    Not a movie I'll see unless the wife actually wants to.

    I thought Baby Mama was pretty funny.

    This one will probably be similar.

    Seconded. I actually like her better than tina, at least onscreen. Tina is the more established writer, but wigg co-wrote this movie and may be closing the gap.

    She was on stu-beef last night and I enjoyed the interview, she's genuinely funny with out trying.

    Kristen Wiig is probably the funniest woman actress out there, I would consider seeing it just for her

    I'm right there with you. I find her terribly unfunny also.

    I did hear that they didn't put most of the funny scenes in the trailer and that was a problem. I think they're going to change up the trailer (but i heard this a month and a half ago.)
