These movies are designed to sell to a specific audience, for instance black films are designed to sell to black audiences, kids films are designed for kids, etc. All of this gets ignored when people like Traister label BridesmaidsВ as a chick flick or The Hangover for women.Д¬hick flicks fall under a larger genre I call demographic movies or demo films. Bridesmaids proves that women can a) be funny and b) can offer more to the cinematic world than simply pandering to their own gender. ThisВ will not, however, be to the benefit of female stars, writers, and directors because they will be forced to work for studio execs who have a misguided understanding of what Bridesmaids is.

I have no doubt cinemas will be inundated with chick-flicks over the next couple of years as studios try to recreate the success of Bridesmaids. What Traister doesn't take into account is that more often than not successful movies do not spawn more great movies in their genre, but rather dozens of pale imitators rushed into production by greedy and talentless studio execs. More recently The Hangover proved adult-oriented comedies were more than just a passing fad and studios started taking chances on movies like Bridesmaids. I assume she bases this on the phenomenon following Wedding Crashers in which more R-rated comedies were green-lit based on its success.

Apparently Traister believes the Kristen Wiig written comedy is a new paragon of feminism and if the movie does well it means women will have more chances to write and star in quality movies. While I am humbly suggesting you go to the movie Salon's Rebecca Traister demandsВ you see it as a part of your social responsibility in this article. I went last night and laughed my ass off despite the guy in front of me checking his phone every three seconds and Nostradamus behind me trying to guess every line and plot twist in a not very complicated movie. First off you should go see Bridesmaids immediately.
