Bride Wars Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
MattyGibbs Two friends accidentally arrange their weddings for the same day which leads to them falling out and trying to sabotage each others day. Bride Wars had the potential to be funny but unfortunately this one fails on every level. It isn't remotely funny, the characters are awful and the dialogue and the plot boring. Even though it's a relatively short film it seems to drag on and on. The acting from the two leads is very poor but whether this can be blamed solely on the actresses or the awful script is up for debate. Anne Hathaway probably comes out with more credit but Kate Hudson is just terrible. Neither of the characters is remotely likable and in a film like this, that is a critical flaw. Both come across as spoiled and vindictive and it is impossible to have any sympathy with either.I thought I might enjoy this but it is one of the poorest romantic films I've seen, lacking any sparkle at all. Avoid.
Python Hyena 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
Gideon24 Under the category of silly and pointless comes the 2009 comedy Bride Wars, a film that provides sporadic laughs here and there, but strains credibility at just about every turn.Kate Hudson plays Liv and Anne Hathaway plays Emma, childhood BFF's who have both dreamed of having their weddings at the Plaza in June ever since they were kids. We then see Liv and Emma both receive marriage proposals almost simultaneously and then make a beeline to renowned wedding planner Marian St. Clair (Candice Bergen) who initially arranges separate weddings for both gals at the Plaza in June, but a clerical error finds Liv and Emma's weddings scheduled on the same day, which ignites a war between the two brides-to-be that gets WAY out of control.Clearly the inspiration for Bridezillas, there's so much that goes on here in the name of comedy that I had a hard time buying. I understand that a woman's wedding is the most important day of her life, but I would think if a woman's wedding is scheduled the same day as her BFF that, at some point, one of these women would either change the date or the venue or their wedding so that this very special day can still be their own. Is the venue and date SO important that you would destroy your best friend's day as well as your own just to have your own way?My confusion about this is addressed in the film through the two grooms- to-be (Chris Pratt, Steve Howey), who really don't understand what the fuss is about and don't get why being married at the Plaza in June is such a deal breaker. I also don't understand why the guys put up with the shenanigans that go on as long as they do.Gary Winick's direction is a little on the manic side and the screenplay by Greg DePaul and Casey Wilson (Wilson makes a cameo appearance as the bride-to-be who has stolen the date our heroines need for separate weddings) is kind of all over the place, but one thing this film does convey despite the over-the-top goings-on, is that these two women really are BFF's who would walk through fire for each other and it's interesting to see them trying to destroy each other one minute and feeling mad guilt about it the next, but does it make up for the rest of the silliness that happens here?
Sarah 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
