No, I didn’t see the movie Bridesmaids<\/em> and something tells me I didn’t have to see it in order to know what it was about:<\/p>\n

Women behaving badly … or as badly as their male counterparts in so many movies, take The Hangover<\/em> (PLEASE! … another movie I wouldn’t waste my time or money on).<\/p>\n

Ed Helms<\/strong> can be an EXTRAORDINARILY funny actor and is actually at his best in singing and dancing skits on The Office<\/em>, but The Hangover actually looks rather sad and depressing in its own way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Melissa McCarthy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Which leads me to Melissa\u00a0 McCarthy<\/strong> of Mike and Molly<\/em> and Bridesmaids fame, or infamy.<\/p>\n

She could be someone who serves as a role-model for overweight women being cute and funny.<\/p>\n

McCarthy just comes off as rude, crude and obnoxious, however in small samples I have seen of her CBS<\/em> show and in the commercials I saw for Bridesmaids.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah … and add highly offensive into that mix, too.<\/p>\n

Women getting drunk, throwing up, cursing and farting. Wow! Where do I plunk down my $10 bucks to see that?<\/p>\n

Thanks to Sunday’s Oscars I didn’t have to pay a penny to see her or the rest of the Bridesmaids cast … and that’s about what their “act” is worth.<\/p>\n

See Melissa and co-star Kristin Wiig<\/strong> joke about the male anatomy. See Melissa pretend to do a drinking game when someone uttered the name Martin Scorcese. (see Scorcese have to explain said game to his teen daughter … sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!).<\/p>\n

I am rolling over in fits of laughter at how clever and funny that all was … NOT!<\/p>\n

Although a bit dull, thanks in part to phone-it-in host Billy Crystal, it was a mostly dignified affair.<\/p>\n

Except for McCarthy and crew, who should learn that a little class and grace could go a loooooong way.<\/p>\n
