studioAT 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.

Keith Pangilinan I'm watching the film on DVD a 2nd time so I can stay focused & motivated when writing this review. Many reviews of "Bride Wars" were negative although I don't think this comedy is as offensive to critics as such a movie starring Adam Sandler. I had some interest in this movie because I find Anne Hathaway & Kate Hudson 2 b attractive, & the idea of them sharing a movie also sounded attractive. The problem was that the other rudimentary elements of the movie (e.g. writing & directing) fell flat. Honestly, I watched the entire movie w/ Spanish subtitles & French dubbing because I heeded those bad reviews. I did notice the hackneyed tropes such as Motown music in the score, the sitcomish pranks like the blue hair & the "broken Aesop" of Emma & Liv walkin' down the aisle proudly in spite of one of the brides becoming a ex-fiancée in front of many silent witnesses. (Why the hell was the place that quiet?) & the notion of the protagonists sharing a do d8 4 their children was an obvious sequel bait that nobody chose to byte. Notable actors include many who were in sitcoms, starting w/ 5x-Emmy winner Candice Bergen of "Murphy Brown," Kristen Johnston of "3rd Rock from the Sun," John Pankow of "Mad About You," Casey Wilson of "Happy Endings," & a pre-famous Chris Pratt from "Parks & Recreation"; he plays one of the grooms, but his role as the groom seems to be a plot placeholder. I think when he did become well-known, what should've been in this movie would be equal to Chris' appearance in "The Five-Year Engagement." Oh yes; "Bride Wars" is rated PG. I think that also seriously hurt audiences by depriving the movie of its bite by lessening any S-words & partial nudity. In conclusion, I rate "Bride Wars" 6 outta 10. I normally rate worse A-movie comedies at 4 or 5, but for just looking at the two stars Kate and Anne, I allow a 6th star. If I genuinely liked this film, I'd rate it 7; 8 would be ludicrous.

Sandra Navarro In Manhattan, the lawyer Liv (Kate Hudson) and the school teacher Emma (Anne Hathaway) are friends since forever who've dreamed their wedding at the Plaza since they were kids. They both have been with their boyfriends for quite a while now, waiting for their true love to pop the question. As soon as they popped the question the girls hurried to book in their wedding day. Unfortunately, venue made a mistake, they've booked their weddings on the same day and the next opening isn't until June 15th... 3 years from now. They both refuse to move their weddings, which later on it turns into WAR. Girls who doesn't talk for a week, is like a century in girl world. Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) went from being best friends (basically sisters) to enemies. In the beginning they were jokes and pranks towards each other, which basically they both wanted to show one another that "they don't know who they are messing with", but towards the last half it takes to a completely different point. The jokes stop and it becomes more serious; focusing on the two girls relationship more than anything else, friendship is really hard to find and being selfish isn't the right way, to solve conflicts. This movie appeals mostly to teen girls.

megan-417-263558 I have read a few reviews on this film saying that it's silly, stupid and basically just a waste of time to make. Personally, I don't agree. True, it has it's bad moments, some that are unrealistic, but doesn't every movie have that? I enjoyed it quite a bit, but even I have to say I've seen far better.Two girls, who have been best friends since they were little, are in a battle as they don't want their wedding on the same day. If they're not sharing it (as it's mentioned at one point) then why the fighting? Okay, they each want to have the other at their wedding, but if they're as close friends as everyone thinks, then can't they just think 'Ok, neither of us want to have our wedding in three years' (the other date mentioned). 'Let's just have it separately, and we can reminisce after' (is that the right word)I like it because, in a way, it's realistic and I enjoy films like that. I like the actors cast in it, I like the plot and everything, it's a good film. But only Deb, Emma and Liv have really strong characters, like every film should have, and that gets rid of the shine that this would have if it was better thought out. So Emma's a doormat, Liv's a brat and Deb's a pain in the neck. But once the fight gets rolling, the two friends are just one person set in two bodies. All the men are EXACTLY the same in this, and I can't see anything too weird in the wedding organizer. So, all in all, it's the type of film you'd watch on a rainy day when you're bored with nothing to do. It's only just enjoyable to keep you on your seat until the very end, but it vanishes from you're mind as as soon as it stops. Not the type of film you'd obsess over.
