I fell in love with this film that first time I saw it too - women kicking ass and an awesome soundtrack? What's not to love? This is the first Kristen Wiig film I saw and I immediately started tracking down more of her stuff. Maggie is my fave too :)
Kristen Wiig is probably one of the funniest women. I still haven't seen "Bridesmaids" yet. The trailer looks really good.
