Enjoy these films on a big screen for the true cinematic experience, and oh, don’t forget to buy some popcorn! Click here for TV wall mounting. However, without further ado, let’s jump in.
Bridesmaids
Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph….how many more comedian female actresses could we ask for in the one film? Bridesmaids released in 2011, is one of the best funny films for the girls. When Rudolph’s character, Lillian, asks lifelong best friend, Annie, to be her maid of honour following her engagement, the planning begins. However, with competition ahead with another bridesmaid, events are not guaranteed to go smoothly. Whether it be food poisoning in the bridal shop, Megan confronting the air marshal, or Annie causing a scene and getting the full bride squad thrown off the airplane, each scene is bound to will fill you with laughter.
Mean Girls
“That’s so fetch!”, and indeed, this movie is so fetch. Or in translation, awesome, should we say. When Cady Heron moves from Africa to the typical American High School, she is not in for an easy ride. Befriending outsiders, Janis and Damian, they give her a rundown on each clique within the school, highlighting the malicious and self-centered “Plastics” comprised of Regina, Gretchen, and Karen. In an attempt to help Janis take them down, she ends up fake befriending them only becoming, uh, real friends with them? Oh, and then the backstabbing and Burn Book appear. It’s all a bit dramatic really, but could we expect anything less on a movie centered around teen high school girls? With some of the most iconic scenes and quotes in chick flick history, this film is sure to keep you all laughing.
She’s the Man
Who knew Amanda Bynes portraying a guy would be so effortlessly hilarious? Although the actress admitted that she hated rewatching herself with male features on TV, we have to admit, the performance was comedy gold. When her character Viola’s school soccer team is cut, she takes matters into her own hands and imitates her older brother at a school he is avoiding attending. With the help of her friends, she transitions to a boy, sideburns, fake eyebrows, the whole lot! However, she appears to be in a slight pickle when her lab partner (who is also a girl) begins falling for her. Her new roommate Duke, played by Channing Tatum, likes her lab partner, but umm, Viola likes him. A strange love triangle shall we say, but Bynes puts on a show for all viewers.
Bad Teacher
We think that the name of this film speaks for itself. Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz features Elizabeth, a lazy and problematic teacher who only appears to be with her fiancé due to his financial stability and the chance for her to escape her job. When he leaves her, she takes a new liking to a teacher, Scott, played by Justin Timberlake. In an attempt to save for plastic surgery to win Scott over, this bad teacher changes her ways when she finds out that the teacher who scores highest in the state exam will receive a bonus. Will she manage to succeed, turn into the best teacher, and win Scott over her competition? Tune into one of the most hilariously funny films for the girls to find out!
The Hangover
When you are having a movie night with the girls, what better way to spend it than watching people get drunk, and go crazy on a wild night out? The Hangover trilogy is got to be one of the most iconic film series we have ever seen, but personally, the first original film has got to be our favourite. A bachelor party, four friends, and Las Vegas, what could possibly go wrong? When Doug, the groom to be, hits Sin City with his two best friends Phil and Stu, oh, and his unusual brother-in-law, Alan, events take a turn for the worst when they wake up from the first night out with a child in their room and a tiger? Oh, and Doug appears to be missing too. Retracing their steps finds the trio in a series of unfortunate events, however, it is entertaining, to say the least!
What Happens in Vegas
Vegas certainly seems to be a top film location for comedy films, and it’s no surprise why, who knows what could happen on this famous strip? Well, Jack and Joy found out the hard way. The two strangers portrayed by Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher take a quick trip to Vegas following mishaps in their personal life, when they meet, they have a wild night out which involves um…tying the knot! Oh, and further complications arise when they hit a three-million-dollar jackpot together and are adamant about splitting the money, although they also want a divorce. Full of sabotaging and mischief, this film is sure to keep you and your girls entertained.
