It's not often that I pay much attention to awards shows, but seeing Bridesmaids win the People's Choice Award for best comedy makes me happy. I recognize the importance of women artists being recognized as important by industry leaders, viewers and peers.
I know some feminist-minded thinkers thought Melissa McCarthy's character demonstrated offensive fat jokes, but I didn't take it that way. If there's ever an opportunity, I would really like to interview her or Kristen Wiig or Annie Mumolo to talk to them about that to hear what they have to say.
To me, the film was about friendship, rebuilding a life, a career and broken self-esteem. Minus the gross-out, pointless, man-pandering diarrhea scene, I was able to relate to it.
