But what's with all the ruckus about "This movie finally proves that women really are funny." The notion that women aren’t funny is as old as the people still bringing it up. Wasn't it Joan Rivers who hosted The Tonight Show for Johnny Carson decades ago? Wasn't it Ellen DeGeneres who was the first woman to get called up to Johnny Carson's desk (again, decades ago)? Wasn't it Tina Fey who became the first female head writer on Saturday Night Live? And wasn't it Betty White who has suddenly become a phenomenon (again) for... I don't know... being funny? While I absolutely adored Bridesmaids, one thing still plagues my mind; why did the first female comedy that's supposedly going to "change comedy forever" have to be about a wedding? Is that all chicks are good for, to write romantic comedies about being the eternal bridesmaid? Whatever happened to the days of Nora Ephron movies about just falling in love?
