wish it was funny

Bridesmaids has become a big deal over the last few years. Both critics and audiences loved it and its popularity on DVD has only grown since then. Everyone seems to agree that Bridesmaids is awesome.
Everyone, that is, Except for me.
I don’t know why, but I just didn’t find Bridesmaids funny. It had slap stick and crude humor, two things I usually find funny, but he movie only made me laugh a couple of times. The Heat which has the same director, Paul Fieg, and star Melissa McCarthy, one of the Bridesmaids stars, is even less funny to me. It has all of the elements of a funny movie, but not once during the entire picture did I laugh, not once. Other people seem to find Paul Fieg’s movies funny, but not me.
In a world filled with bro-mances, it’s about time we had a sis-mance, and that is exactly what The Heat is. The relationship between McCarthy’s character and Bullocks characters is actually pretty well done, and ends in a very sweet way. I’m glad that this movie was made; it’s a movie that should’ve been made a long time ago.
I like the Idea of The Heat more then I like watching the actual movie. I just wish it was funny.
