BridesMAIDS-

With so much to do, and so much going on I need me time, where I can just check out. I'm making some quinoa to complement my soup. It's on the verge of boiling, but not quite. I had a girly afternoon of toe nail painting and Bridesmaids watching. There was so much hype about Kristin Wig and Bridesmaids that I thought it promised to be pee yourself funny. 

ehh...It was cute, it was funny, but it was also kinda sad. 


The movie is great; I recommend it. A total must do with your gal pals, however if you are expecting a female version of The Hangover, you won't find it in Bridesmaids. The cast in the movie is great, and the plot follows a somewhat accurate portrayal of female friendship where true friendship is mixed among fake friends and friendemies. Kristen Wig has great comic expression, she is more of clown than she is comedian. However, that being said Wig know how to get laughs.

 Maya Rudolph played a character that is surprisingly straight; I'm so used to her as funny that the more conservative role she played created a great comedic foil. 

Melissa McCarthy also plays a character so out of her norm, the role played by McCarthy is that of a masculine aggressive female. McCarthy plays the role fantastically and proves why she won Emmy. McCarthy can act, and she is hilarious. 

The rest of the cast ads to the comic tension off the plot.The movie is good, round up your ladies and have a girly evening.

Fall TV gems- 2 Broke Girls



Fall TV is finally here. I'm stoked. I swear at the end of a brain sucking day a cleverly written sit-com can given you the needed umph to crack a half crooked smile. CBS' new comedy: Two broke girls will lead you beyond a crooked smile and have you seizing with laughter.

Two Broke Girls, is the love child making, from Micheal Patrick King (Sex and the City) and Whitney Cummings (Chelsea Lately).


The Show centers on the lives of two twenty somethings trying to survive the concrete jungle of New York. Two Broke Girls stars Kat Dennings as Max Black, and Beth Behrs as Caroline Channing. Max is a savvy, tough, emotionally vacant Brooklyn girl. Max knows the city and survives on a month to month reality working two jobs she is a waitress at a dive dinner, and a Nanny for some "uppity social lite." Caroline in contrast is a frivolous upper-eastsider  with a sharp business sense and kind heart. Caroline's families billions is assets have been seized in result of her white collar criminal father. Apparently he was the mastermind of some ludicrous ponzy scheme.

Caroline, is completely out of touch with reality. She the skills to survive the working world. In a half serious attempt to join the working world while on "a Manahhatan hiatus" she shows up at the dinner with an exaggerated resume, and the expectation that waitress-ing is easy. The show is hilarious. It is a dark, ironic, sex and the city styled comedy. Complete with sexy men, cute fashion, wicked writing and black humour.  



Watch it, Tivo it- You won't be disappointed.
