Film Promotional website review - Bride maids Official website

There isn't much going creative wise. The background features the two main characters, and a relatively small view showing the trailer of the comedy movie, which should be the main feature of the site as it is meant to promote the film, yet it is mediocre size and quality is bad, surrounded by advertising. Below it, is a slider bar where you can click on and view the other trailers of the movie which the quality is just as bad.

Navigating is simple, click on the various menu buttons and it automatically scrolls down to where the different section is.

The layout is cluttered, feels like its just one page and hard to differentiate the different sections of the site. The feel and impression doesn't really stand out for me. It feels a bit lack luster , not much thought has been put in to it creative wise. I feel the site doesn't give any justice to film and it is one of the funniest films I've seen so far, reminds me of a female version of The Hang Over.
It doesn't give a brief blurb on what the movie is about, the gallery of images is quite small and quality of the images isn't good. The shots taken are images that do not really promote the film, it feels a bit out of context.

It gives a small information about each actress, not the role they play within the film. The layout is 'bleh' and boring to me. Which is quite the opposite of what the movie is about, gut wrenchingly hilarious!. This site offers none of that, no play on the layout design of the site, or humorous to encourage the funny side of the movie. Nothing really memorable or even anything to make you go watch the film. Even the background showing two women in the background trying to look seductive and bored at the same time, is kind of off-putting. If you haven't seen the film you wouldn't know that they are the two main characters of the film. I would have preferred that the other characters were included, as they are just as funny and should be shown as a group, which is a shame.

The site isn't very memorable, i wouldn't look twice or visit again. I would probably forget about it after I've closed the internet browser. I do not think it sets out what its suppose to do, encourage people to go see the movie or buy it on dvd or show what the movie is about. Its a very disappointing and boring site for me, which is quite sad because its one of my favorite comedy films for me.
