While it’s great that there’s a female-driven comedy that is doing well at the box office – I wish it were a little more intelligent.  This is a Judd Apatow comedy, and if you’ve ever seen one of his movies, you know what that means.  Lots of crass humor – potty jokes, vomit, all that.  It’s too bad, because the actresses are wonderful, and it’s a cute storyline.  But the script is bogged down with juvenile jokes.  I hope that the trend towards female ensembles in the movies continues – but I also hope that the writing gets a lot more clever.
