I'm so OVER what's ok for men NOT being ok for women!

Actually, I thought The Hangover had its moments, but thought Bridesmaids was a better, funnier movie.

Absolutely agree with you! It's the comedy that should decide what is funny and not funny, not the gender of the characters! I loved this movie.

On that same note, you know what Melissa McCarthy's character did in the airplane counts as sexual harassment right? Were it a guy showing up his legs to a girl who just came out of the bathroom, and his talking about his "heated area", he would been arrested right on the spot. So if you're gonna talk about double standards, talk about that too.

Y'all are looking for trends that just aren't there. I've met very few people who didn't like Bridesmaids, and the few who didn't had no problem with females acting raunchy, it was mainly that they (men and women alike) found the main character so unlikable. If anything, the raunchy humor is actually the film's saving grace.

It isn't that men can do something and women cant. The problem is women think that men only go for raunchy. So women go so far over the top and totally ignore the set up and punchline of the joke.
Woman can be funny. Many women have. However, ask anyone, women tend to think they have to be so gross because men do it and they just go over the top.
Watch Chelsea Handlers stand up. She is a perfect example of it. She has a half hour stand up that is 22 minutes of her going to the bathroom. No punch line at all. To her, that is playing the mens game. Yeah, because Jerry Sienfeld became so popular doing that.
What are all these guys movies that use poop humor? Dumb and Dumber?

Funny is funny. There is no double standard. What will fall flat 100 percent of the time is a crude joke that just isn't funny. So maybe instead of trying to compete against a fictitious glass ceiling, maybe they should just try working on being funny.

If hangover included pooping in a sink, farting and vomiting (on people) etc. as much this movie did, I would've surely hated it.

I'M sick of women making this about gender and defending this movie just because of the all female cast.

I simply think the humor was gross and childish - simple and without a punchline. Simply having someone poop in a sink isn't even a JOKE.

And trust me, I'd still watch women poo, fart and vomit over a guy doing it, but the gender of the characters does not define why I disliked it.

YOU stop making it about gender, while blaming others doing so.

Let's just say, that if the characters in "The Hangover" were women (losing teeth, having a hangover, finding a baby, having a tiger in the bathroom etc.) and the characters in "The Bridesmaids" were men (pooping in a sink, farting, vomiting in someone elses hair), I'd still think The hangover was ok and Bridesmaids was not.

In short; Not about gender.

I don't get why you turned this sexist? Did you ever think that maybe it wasn't as good for a film as Hangover? I don't have a problem with women using poop humor or anything like that. I just didn't laugh as much as Hangover. This movie just doesn't have the same pace as Hangover. There is no double standard for this movie. Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion on whether or not this movie is funny doesn't give you the right to throw around big words like "double standard". Stop talking out of your a**.
