Bride Wars (2009)

Very well executed

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Fantastic!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

With a good director in Gary Winick and two big stars in the leads (Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway) this film should have been great.And to be fair it has it's moments, but about half way in the whole friendship of the girls is thrown away and they resort to doing very silly things.While its lovely to see these two glamorous women do lots of slapstick and physical comedy (maybe the reason they both signed on to do this film), the film has such a thin premise that it runs out of steam quickly.A shame, this could've been great.

Bride Wars (2009): Dir: Gary Winick / Cast: Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Kristen Johnston, Candace Bergen, Chris Pratt: Idiotic romantic comedy about the ugliness of beauty. Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson play life long best friends whom get engaged and schedule June weddings until a screw up leaves only one opening. This threatens their friendship causing tension and revenge. Totally contrived dog show directed by Gary Winick who has made far better films than this such as Charlotte's Web and 13 Going on 30. Perhaps Charlotte didn't spin a big enough message to warn Winick away from this project. Hathaway and Hudson bicker and scheme before they predictably kiss and make up. Why are we suppose to care? Is the June wedding really that important? Aren't there other months that will do? There are eleven other months so certainly some place on the calendar can hold a wedding. Millions go on every year and not necessarily in June, so perhaps these two airheads can take a clue. Kristen Johnston and Candace Bergen appear in lifeless supporting roles. In fact Bergen is the deliverer of the bad news mix-up on wedding dates. Chris Pratt plays one of the fiancés and the role is about as interesting as reading the phone book. The film is ultimately phony with everyone acting like a total moron. This film fails even on the comedic level and should be used as target practise. Score: 2 / 10

I unlike some other enjoyed the movie. It was comical and I thoroughly liked watching it. My friends all would like to see a pregnancy sequel of Bride Wars. NOT only are the actors exceptional, but just the whole June wedding is enough to have kept me watching. You hear so many people talking about June weddings, but for you and your best friend to have the same wedding date is hilarious how it played out. It is just plain and simply a movie worth watching many times over. I have teenagers who live it, also so it can't be that bad for them to watch. You have to find the lighter side of the plot. It is about a friendship and bonds made since childhood. How people end up still staying together and sharing their special movements in life. That's what it was all about. Although, the one part I didn't like was when at the end something more could've been given such as Pregnancy Wars...

Despite the bad reviews, Bride Wars is my favourite movie ever. I've seen it a million times and I never get tired of it, it's just a funny, entertaining, feel-good movie. I think the bad reviews are just because It is a complete chick flick. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH IT!! Apparently this has to be 10 lines but that's all I have to say so just ignore this: 1111111111111111111111111111111122222222222222222 2222 2222222223 3333333 3333333333 333333344444 4444444444 444444444445555555555 55555555 55556 666 6666 666666 66666 66666 7777 77777777 7777777 777788 8888 888888 888 888888 88999 9 99 999 99 9999 9999999 999999 99999999 999999 99999 999999 9999988 888 88888888 888888 877777 777777 7777777 7777777 77777 7777 77777 77777 7666666 66666666 66666666 66666 6666666 6666 6666666666666655
