Rebel Wilson WDYT?

[Warrigal]

I find her a bit hard to take but maybe it's because I'm getting too old to appreciate her humour.

She's been doing well in the US, much better than she could in OZ.
What's the general opinion on her style of comedy?

I quite like her, DW. A bit abrasive, but she makes me laugh. I suspect I resembled her somewhat in my youth, before I adopted my present respectable boring persona. Lol.

If you see the movie 'Bridesmaids' you'll get a big laugh and I thought she was very good in it.

I've enjoyed much of what I've seen her in so far, she was terrific in the first Perfect Pitch which I watched on DVD, I'll probably wait to see the on DVD as well, but, I enjoyed the movie and her performance in it. She cracks me up.

Thanks for comment and website about Rebel Wilson, Dame Warrigal.
So surprised to learn that a large lady is doing so well in the U.S. where "thin" is in!
(Barely recognized my super thin eldest (from Calif.) when we had a reunion in Brisbane last year).
Glad Rebel's humor and intelligence are appreciated in the U.S.
A loss to Australia??? :fun:

Not to be too surprised, ballad type singers and comedians usually do pretty good over here no matter the size, think Melissa Mccarthy and Adele

For those who don't know Milissa, her latest movie. She's also a hoot. Her best stint for me was her first appearance on SNL

And here's Adele, one of the most beautiful voices.

There are of course other big gals in the public eye, but, more often than not for the laugh, not as the pretty one. Glad my definition of beauty hasn't depended on hollywood opinions though. Wish that were true for us all, such is life.

I am sorry for Aussie's loss, we are very happy to have Rebel as long as she chooses to say.

Like you DW, I'm not particularly fond of her. I did see "Bridesmaids", but then Rebel had a brief TV show which I didn't like at all.

AprilT, love Rebel, she is so funny.

Have enjoyed everything I have seen with Rebel Wilson. A very talented young lady. For anyone who has not seen it, would strongly recommemd Bridesmaids.
