Wissenswertes
It was originally intended that Chris O'Dowd's cop would be American, but everyone was so enamored of O'Dowd's native Irish accent that it was decided that he keep it.

Patzer
When Annie receives the shower invitation it reads "Sat." as the day. When Annie's car breaks down on the day of the shower, and Ted picks her up, she asks him, "Were you busy?" and he answers, "Well, it is Friday."

Zitate
Helen: [sobbing] Why are smiling?
Annie: It's just... it's the first time I've ever seen you look ugly. And that makes me kind of happy.
Helen: [starts to laugh through her tears] I look ugly? No, I don't. I don't really look ugly.
Annie: A little bit. You're an ugly crier. But that's okay.
Helen: No, I'm not really an ugly crier.
Annie: Maybe just a little bit.
Helen: No.
Annie: Just a little bit.
Helen: It's just my make-up. But I still look pretty good.

Alternative Versionen
The 131-minute unrated version contains several additional scenes as follows:
The conversation between Annie (Kristen Wiig) and Mother (Jill Clayburgh) is slightly longer with Mother telling her about Father's "chicken coop" sex act, and it also reveals that Annie's father grew up in a farm.
Becca (Ellie Kemper) mocks Annie for being single and offers to arrange a date for her.
The car ride with Lillian (Maya Rudolph) and Annie after the bridal store fiasco is longer and different than the theatrical version. In the new cut, after Lilian admits crapping her wedding dress, Annie starts to feel uncomfortable, gets out of the car and throws up.
When Annie is at the bathroom, Gil (Matt Lucas) and his sister were in the bathtub together. He asks Annie to hand her the disposable shaver and shaves his sister's armpits.
There's a new 5-minute scene where Annie has a date with a guy called Pete. While waiting at the living room for Pete to get ready, she has a very uncomfortable conversation with his son Taylor (he's talking about "fear of dying", asking about Annie replacing his mother, etc.). After Annie goes upstairs, she overhears Pete talking on the phone telling his wife how he missed her and describes Annie as unattractive. Shocked by that, she went back downstairs and saw Taylor taking some contraceptive pills before leaving the house hastily.
The home video of Megan (Melissa McCarthy) and Jon (Ben Falcone) is slightly longer. She sticks a slice of ham on his chest and eats them. However, Jon's reaction doesn't tell whether he likes it or not.

10/10 From a Guy

So this is the first comedy with a mostly female cast that blew me out of the water. Its as good as comedy gets - period. Right at the top with 1 other (which I'd rather not name for reasons).

I had already liked Wiig but this was her crowning achievement. It was also the movie that but Melissa McCarthy's career on the fast-track to stardom. Solid performances from the rest of the cast who all deserve a mention.

The film is filled with side-splitting hilarity.

I loved the toasting scene at the shower and the awkward one-upwomanship that ensued.

The plane scene has so many quotes and Wiig's genius shines so brightly.

Then the dress-trying scene had me rolling.

I've probably rewatched this movie as many or more times than any other. I've also recommended it as much or more than any other.

A masterpiece film that just so happens to be a comedy!
