You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008) - Rated 25 Feb 2012
Not as bad as I expected (high praise indeed, right?) Probably best-suited for those familiar with a NYC/Manhattan culture, the movie contains many "inside" jokes that a non-NYC person won't "get".

Bridesmaids (2011) - Rated 10 Dec 2011
Had some funny moments, but I (and others whose opinions I solicited) have trouble understanding the fuss over this movie. Maybe it's a "background" issue - I never had these types of experiences, so I couldn't relate to it. I'm also not used to "female raunch". I'd hoped I would enjoy that, but found it uncomfortable.

Cute & clever, well-done, self-aware, and multi-layered.

The Stepford Wives (2004) - Rated 14 Apr 2008
Such potential - wasted! A cross between a social satire and a comedy, and succeeds at neither. (and I'm a huge Frank Oz fan, BTW)

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) - Rated 09 Mar 2008
Enjoyable, but I didn't "get" the conflict. I thought there was a lot of humanity in all the characters, and didn't even know for whom I was "rooting!"
