Why the eff isn't there a thread for this instant classic?
What Oscar ceremony will this compete it in? I can't keep up with all the eligibility changes.

Good to see a thread for this! Because it's a bundle of joy. I didn't quite expect the Bridesmaids writing team to venture into such a silly territory with this one but they pulled it off really well. I love silly when it's done right. I love to see a pure comedy these days - one that's not just funny but one that stays true to the purpose of being funny all the way through without any sap or phony drama or social commentary. Just good old laughs. It's not the greatest or funniest comedy in the world but I think it succeeds because for me it's got only one bit that doesn't work (the tired cliche with the characters getting high and going dancing), it's got consistent chuckles all the way through and it's got several big belly laughs (the Jamie Dornan song! the crab!). Moreover, I love that it's such a burst of color. Comedies for the most part look bland these days but here you've got a candy-colored palette that's truly like looking inside Barb and Star's souls I need Wiig and Mumolo to write more movies.

BUT can you believe that they did not even SUBMIT 'Edgar's Prayer' for Best Original Song? Not that it would've been nominated (although it should) but not even submitting it seems like a stupid choice by whoever made it.

I think Wiig is getting in both Leading and Supporting Actress.

I watched this on the plane from Charlotte to Honolulu - I loved it so much and it helped me to prepare for my tropical vacation!
