'Bridesmaids' Effect: Why Female Comedies Are Making Comeback

The R-rated Bridesmaids crossed $100 million in just 23 days with the kind of crass but "rings true" humor that established the careers of guys like the Weitz brothers (American Pie), the Farrelly brothers (There's Something About Mary), Todd Phillips (The Hangover) and, of course, the godfather of the sweet-and-sour comedy, Apatow himself.

If the Bridesmaids Effect really takes hold, imagine the possibilities. There's the comedy about the bachelorette party gone horribly wrong. There's the nightmare honeymoon from the woman's perspective. The Bridesmaids Effect allows entire genres to be reimagined. Chicks on horses. Women in space. Time-shifting gals.

...In an effort to ride the Bridesmaids mo', over here at Friendly Films we started thinking about one of our projects in development. Why couldn't the protagonist and friends be women?

Yes - now that Bridesmaids is a hit, we can show women! Doing things! Women riding horses? Amazing. Women in space? Never you say. Time-shifting gals? You can't be serious.

Why did no one ever think to do this before?

....well, the YouTube 'Suggestions' link did lead to me watching the Buffy v Edward vid about 5 times in a row.

But yes! GURLZ! DOING THINGS! ON THEIR OWN! It's so bizarrely revolutionary!

You know, I can't even get pissed off, because I'm too busy laughing at the stupidity, ignorance and lack of imagination in that article.
