Bridesmaids

I saw it last night for the first time and dug it.

I agree it was probably 20 to 30 minutes too long.

The cast was great, all those girls killed it.

I liked O'dowd in the cop role, I think a really atypical cop was a funny way to go in this movie. You're so used to hard nosed beat-em-up cops that an apathetic, sarcastic and removed one was a great change of pace.
 
That's him. It was perhaps more a narrative issue than him per se, but his character/performance really aggravated me for some reason. Still I felt despite the obviosu pacing/run-time issues, it was a decent watch and provide some solid laughs. John Hamm also stole the show.
 
I think this movie got all the props it did because it's (one of) the only movie(s) of its type with women as the characters. If it had been guys, it would have been middling at best.

The over-long nature of it came from spending half an hour on Annie hitting bottom. Not dealing with it; doing it. It's a standard way to end the second act, but jeez -- five minutes would do.
