The film has a lot of laughs in it. The opening was priceless. Kristen Wiig is a shining star. She easily carries the movie.
Much of the comedy is over-the-top but that's the state of the genre these days. Wiig makes the most of it and pushes the boundaries as far as possible in the vomiting/shitting in the dress shop scene.
Chris O'Dowd did a nice job and grounded the film in reality in his scenes.
Paul Feig should have reined Melissa McCarthy and Sam Hamm in a bit. They're so far over-the-top that their scenes become unbelieveable. A lot of the film is guilty of this.
