Not Your Mother's Chick Flick

It's been a while since I've been so excited by a movie that I'm recommending it to everyone (well, maybe not recommending it to my mom). Will it be Oscar nominated? Probably not. Will it go down in movie history?  Ummmm…no.  But is it worth your 15 bucks opening weekend?  Absolutely! 

Bridesmaids is freakin' high-larious! I checked out the film two weeks ago and I was rolling from beginning to end.  It's being referred to as the male Hangover but I feel this film doesn't deserve to be compared to any other—it's in a class all it's own.  I love and appreciate a good raunchy comedy—Get Him to the Greek, The Hangover, etc...but we're long overdue for a female-driven comedy, and I'm not talking chick flick, 'cause Bridesmaids ain't that!

Having come off my own wedding, acted as maid of honor in my best friend's wedding and spent a wine fueled bachelorette weekend for my other friend's upcoming nuptials—this movie is definitely relatable in terms of the craziness that goes along with being in a wedding. But what I find even more relatable is the relationship between the women.  Finally—women in a movie talking about the things my girlfriends and I talk about over a bottle (or two, or three, or four) of pinot.  It's honest, funny, and well sometimes, it's just down right rated-R.

Grab your girls, your boyfriend (E!'s resident film critic Ben Lyons loved the movie—so it's not just for chicks), or your favorite bottle of champagne and check out Bridesmaids this weekend!

Bio

Kristina Guerrero is a self-proclaimed small-town girl with big-city dreams. Born and raised in Sunnyside, Wash., Kristina always had her sights set on the Hollywood dream. And at age 18, she set out to pursue it. With only a few pennies in her pocket and a lifetime of ambition in her heart, she packed up and moved to Los Angeles.

The dreams of bright lights, movie stars and superstardom were quickly replaced with the reality of no money, no home and nowhere to go. Not discouraged, she enrolled at the University of Southern California (go Trojans!). While in college, she landed an internship at L.A.'s Fox KTTV and climbed the ladder from "coffee girl" to field producer.

After graduating USC with a BA in Journalism, she landed her first big gig as cohost of The Rub, a relationship talk show, on SiTV network. That break led to an opportunity as a guest correspondent for Access Hollywood, where she interviewed stars like Jim Carrey and Kirk Douglas.

In January 2005, Kristina moved to San Antonio, Texas, to host her own CBS morning talk show, Great Day S.A., for which she received a local Emmy nomination. In addition, she was also a guest cohost on the Adam Corolla radio show and the spokeswoman for Latina magazine's 10th anniversary campaign.

The lure of L.A. was strong, however, and she returned in January of 2008. Most recently, Kristina was on the red carpet at the Grammys and on the sidelines at the Super Bowl as the entertainment correspondent for Inside Edition.

When she's not diligently bringing you your entertainment fix on E! News Now, Kristina enjoys watching intellectual films (The Goonies), reading life-changing literature (Cosmo) and appreciating fine dining (she'll eat almost anything).
