2.0 out of 5 stars Sad stereo type for women, June 23, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bride Wars (DVD)
Maybe I was not the target audience for this movie. Yes I am a young women, I like a good comedy and usually go to see anything Anne Hathaway is in. But that isn't the audience this must have wanted. It wanted the vacuous girl who has decided a wedding is more important then anything else she might enjoy in her life. That graduating college, having a baby (oh could this be the sequel) was the pinnacle of it all.

When there is a mix up with their wedding planner and the weddings are booked on the same day instead of coming up with a solution of a duel ceremony, or even some slight staggering it is better to destroy the other's wedding with not so funny hi jinx. I would tell you the ending but you can guess it unless you have never seen an American film and were hoping for a Hamlet like conclusion.


The reason for the stars I did give it is at least the humor is clean. It at least decided not to resort to bathroom humor in an effort for a few nervous giggles. Anne Hathaway does "act" and can't be all bad in anything she does. Kate Hudson is not as good, but not dreadful. Both would have done better with a script that went for plot rather then the concept of what a stereotypical women wants more then anything.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been great but missed the mark, May 21, 2009
This review is from: Bride Wars (DVD)
Both the actresses are enjoyable to watch and the plot could have been great but the script was really poor. The only funny parts in the movie were shown in the trailers and some of those parts were even cut out.
They needed a lot more character development of the supporting rolls. Especially since I really like most of the supporting actors (like Candice Bergen and the gal from 3rd rock) and I was looking forward to seeing them in this flick. We barely see any of the fiancés in the movie, only enough to get that one is supportive and loving and the other is a controlling selfish jerk.
There wasn't nearly enough wedding shopping. Like they only tried on one dress and bought it. I would have liked to see a bunch of dresses. Not to mention both dresses were UGLY.
During the whole movie I really didn't understand what all the fighting was about and it wasn't explained well at all. They both got to have their weddings at the Plaza but in different rooms at the same time. I would of said "no big deal" and chosen another maid of honor, so I don't understand why they made such a fuss.
It's too bad because it would have been great to see a sequel with the way they ended it, and I like seeing these two actresses together. Just bad writing I guess.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bridal throwdown, May 7, 2009
This review is from: Bride Wars (DVD)
When dreams are at stake, even BFFs will go to war. Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson) have been dreaming about the Perfect Wedding for 20 years and it doesn't matter if they ruin their friendship as long as they get it. I love the two actresses, but that's about it as far as the movie goes. I had one moment of hilarity seeing the two brides duke it out going down the aisle. It's predictable, only mildly amusing, and not the best of its genre.

Rebecca Kyle, May 2009
