Led by Natalie Portman, who recently complained to Vogue, "Women…are generally not allowed to be beautiful and funny, and certainly not vulgar," makers of films for women and women film-makers have launched an intensely iconoclastic initiative toward genuinely funny feminine films. Bridesmaids has potential to become a landmark in that initiative, primarily because it is genuinely funny—as in genuinely, authentically, undeniably, unequivocally, unashamedly, and unabashedly laugh-out-loud funny."Led by Kristen Wiig of "SNL" fame and featuring "a veritable herd of hilarious women," Bridesmaids bravely ventures into an admittedly over-worked premise, marking the latest reprise of the whole high-end wedding and frustrated bridesmaid fiasco; but it comes out with something genuinely fresh. Instead of thinking Bridemaids is a little weak on plot, think of it as "episodic" and focused on its principal theme—shenanigans. With co-conspirators Ellie Kemper, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne fuelling the funny, the movie-makers refuse to go sappy rom-com. Instead, Bridemaids delivers all the guy-stuff staples redone for girls, including an unruly bunch of puppies, a car chase, a tennis ball to a delicate body-spot, and a party-planning summit gone terribly wrong.

Richard Curtis once again attempted to combine several genres and cater to all audiences, without an exception. The Boat That Rocked is sprightly comedy about horny rock propagandists. The movie is complemented by a gentle romantic touch of first love. Then it turns into a melodrama about growing up, finding one's own ego and his father. Then strives to make the step in the direction of a musical with indispensable Nighy dancing. It almost went into the drama: the British government still slightly crossed the line against the disgraced radio. And once again it becomes a comedy. Richard Curtis by doing nothing supernatural managed to go beyond this or that genre, really pleased everyone by this charming and even, "mainstream" movie.
