If you think the four actresses in this are unfunny or talentless, sorry but you're just ignorant or simply not the target audience.
Yes, Melissa McCarthy has made a lot of terrible movies since she obviously was cashing in on her rising fame, but she's been outstanding in many other comedic films.
Kristen Wiig is obviously a comedic tour de force and has even proven to be a great dramatic actress in several low budget indie dramas over the last few years.
Leslie and ESPECIALLY Kate are brilliant on SNL and will be around for years to come.
Paul Feig's involvement makes me even more hopeful that this will turn out better than the trailers. Bridesmaids and Spy are two of the best laugh out loud comedies in the last decade, and were much better than their trailers as well.
You can obviously dislike the movie without being sexist, but the magnitude of vitriol directed at this film is quite clearly driven by sexism and/or misplaced nostalgia anger, and then it snowballs from there with more and more people jumping on the hate bandwagon months before the film is even released. This hardly ever happens.
And don't give me that reverse sexism crap. Not a chance in HELL this film would be receiving this much aggressive hatred if there wasn't unwarranted disdain for the talent involved. Any sensible person would be able to admit that there's a misogynist element in the reaction to this unreleased film.
Well "lolz". Having a different taste in movies and comedy makes me apparently ignorant? Man I love the interwebs. I guess I should write "IMHO" after my posts to so you wouldnt think I am posting an universal opinion or possibly my neighbours opinion?
It's nice that you like the players in the production and are looking forward to it.
In my opinion Melissa Mccarty is boring. I don't like her comedy that seems to be based on her falling over, her being "bigger" and driving a little moped, and her making weird faces and odd looks with her teeth.
Leslie is the one who always shouts on SNL and makes mistakes(for example forgets her lines or fails delivering them) on almost every skit on SNL right? Who plays the "urban character" in the film, I find that type of yelling comedy really low and unfunny, and its one of the reasons I these days avoid SNL. From what I have seen in the few Ghosbusters trailers there is even more screaming here. Unwitty and unfunny and crude.
I have never laughed out loud when I have seen the other actresses either. I don't have a huge dislike or anything, but nope, nothing that I find brilliant.
"Bridesmaids" was awful, "Spy" was slightly funny when Statham was on screen, but the rest of that film was pretty forgetful.
Nah, "Freaks and Geeks" is still the only thing Feig has made that I like.
Regarding all the other "sexist" etc talk regarding this project. I'm sure there is lots of that going on too. I personally have never cared what people think of me, and I won't start now either, The trailers look awful, therefore I am not seeing something like this in theatres, and the posts I have made about the film, have only commented on stuff we have seen and what we know. Trailers, posters, and who is involved with it.
Hopefully you like it.
