Laughed out loud more in this movie than I recall any movie in years. FYI, do not see this movie with the kids, "awkward". The girls of SNL have given the men quite a challenge.

Saw it Sunday - it was Hilarious - don't think I have ever laughed so much I cried and there were also some touching moments as well - Wiig and her partner really did an awesome job writing the movie.
Melissa McCarthy (Megan) made the movie, she was so funny – I didn’t expect her to be as funny as she was from seeing her in Gilmore Girls for so long, but she was Awesome.

So much of the movie seemed perfectly ad-lib'd. I laughed so hard during some of the scenes I couldn't see the screen for the tears. People remained in the theater 10 min after the movie ended still laughing. They did such an amazing job with the movie. On a side note, the trailer for "The Change Up" killed me, it's so true to life.

I know what you mean, during one or two of the scenes I was laughing so hard, I couldn't see the scene as well and than I had to go to the bathroom so bad, but I didn't want to leave because I was afraid I would miss something and I am sure I would have.
The Change Up did look cute, I love Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman - the body switch thing has been done a lot, but it still looked good and with them both it should be funny as well.

The guys will be on top again in a couple weeks with Hangover 2. 
The movie was good though, I don't really care for most of Kristen Wiig's characters on SNL so I found her annoying a few times. (the toast to the bride/groom scene).
Melissa McCarthy was great, she was definitely the Zack Galafanakis (sp?) of the movie, which like The Hangover would not be nearly as good without.
And yes, as said before, NO KIDS! and if you are older, and get offended by obscene words/scenes/gestures, this is not your movie. The ladies sitting behind me talking about their grandkids before the movie lasted about 20 minutes before leaving. Longer than I thought actually.
