Bride Wars (2009)

I love this movie so much

What makes it different from others?

disgusting, overrated, pointless

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I'm usually the first person aboard the "Hollywood needs to stop ridiculing our inteligence by asuming a big wedding is all women care about" but I actually saw potential in this film.It has 2 talented leads (both Hathaway and Hudson have proved themselves as decent actresses to say the least) and 2 main characters who have some substance, i.e. they are not just mashed up cliches. It has a premise, childhood friends get married on the same day, but loses it all, because it assumes the worst of women. Let me explain. There simply is no way two people who were selfless enough to be able to hold on to a friendship for so long, would turn against each other like hyenas over an easily solvable problem. The movie makes our characters denounce the idea of a double wedding (more to get rid of the thought in all of its viewers heads) straight away, but the thing is, two best friends like them, who do everything together, who have shared this dream all their lives, would have had a double wedding and they would have loved it.Making this about the brides being all "this is MY day, I'M the bride" blah, blah is what ultimately ruined the movie. Because from being a movie celebrating friendship, it turned into a parade of selfishness and shallowness, not because it didn't have a choice, but because this is what the men who made this film think about women like their central characters, and that's just sad.The cleansing comes too late in the film to salvage it, as far as I'm concerned. The fact that these two inteligent women come to the same conclusion we came to 5 minutes in the film, that they are sharing their lives together, but only do so at the very end of the film makes for a sadly torpid script.One last thought: the amount of concealed evil exhibited in the ugly games the two best friends played against each other is not telling of feminine nature but, again, it is telling of what the men who wrote this script think about women. And, again, that's really sad.

This is the story of two girls who are best friends since their childhood. After their boyfriends propose them, they plan to get married in plaza. Since childhood their dream was to get married in plaza in June. But only one date was available in June month for wedding. So both girls start fight for their wedding. I like this because of awesome story. I recommend this movie to all to watch.

If I had a list of films I regret seeing in the theater this one would be one of them.When a girl who I was friends with asked me to go see this movie I agree because I was being a gentleman and we did have a good time at the theater.But seeing it on TV a few months later turn out be what I was thinking seeing the film. It just the same old song and dance we have seen in many chick flicks but this one is just pretty much take it to a whole new level.Casting Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson did get some people to come to the theaters but just what did it have to take for them to get cast in this film.It just amazing to me how some times a movie would just paste someone's name to the poster of the movie and expect them to get help sell tickets Nothing about this movie just feels right there is one funny punch line in the film but that's it other than that the film just feels broken The story of the film is nothing we haven't seen before nor do the characters try anything to be creative. I don't bash chick flicks but this film was clearly just made not to be serious let alone to make a lot of moneyIt just goes to show that even two big name actresses are not even enough to make the movie worth your time, while they did work well together in the movie the rest of it just feels like it should have been left well enough alone. I give Bride Wars an 4 out of 10

Live (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends and want to be the maid of honor in each other's wedding. However a scheduling mistake places both their weddings on the same date in the same place. They go nuts, and chaos ensues.I love the best friend chemistry between Hudson and Hathaway. The problem is that the structure of the movie has them separated and hating each other. It's a lousy message, and it makes for a sad watch. It makes these women petty little children of the worst kind. And the worst sin of all, it makes them not funny. People behaving badly can be funny, but just not here. Chris Pratt is actually playing somebody reasonable which makes the final twist very weird. It's not properly set up. There are too many things wrong with this movie.
