Men are April when they woo December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids but the sky changes when they are wives.
The American audience has really opened up to women being A.) funny and B.) kinda crude. 'Bridesmaids' is R-rated and I think it was a major coup for women to have an R-rated comedy that did really well. Same as 'Bad Teacher.'
Had 'Bridesmaids' not ended up being so amazing and successful we would never have been able to make 'Bachelorette.' So we are in awe of 'Bridesmaids' and totally owe them so much.
