Don't listen to the negative reviews

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Liv and Emma have been inseparable friends for 20 years, dreaming about their perfect wedding at the Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately for them, the wedding planner mixes their dates so now they're due to be married on the same day. For them, this is simply unacceptable and because they cannot get to an agreement, the begin to fight each other (fortunately not literally). From here on, we see two women desperate to destroy the other's wedding rather than looking after their own.Although it started rather promising, the whole situation really gets out of hand. It's absolutely idiotic how two such friends would try to ruin the other, and their methods are at least stupid. I thought that its finale could regain some dignity but I'm disappointed to tell you that it is by far the worst part. Without any logic, without any sense...Oh my God! Too bad, too bad. It could have been so much better

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

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

I think an important question to ask is - do you think women actually liked this movie, because it's seems like a lot of women don't. Oh course base on this movie, a woman's ultimate goal in life is to get marriage! It's the only thing that can validate her as a person, even if she has a successful and lucrative career! Keeping a childish dream wedding fantasy in mind into adulthood is completely healthy and not a psychosis at all! And of course after marriage all women have to look forward to is having babies! This movie definitely panders to the lowest common denominator. Popular media is obsessed with convincing people that all women care about is "romance" or their definition of it, getting married, having babies, and looking pretty. Things targeted to women almost always depict self-absorbed, vain, spoiled idiots who only care about getting a man and having some sort of fairy-tale wedding. Years and years of women being defined by marriage and the generations since the Genesis of feminism being raised on Disney Princesses and sexist toys. Not all women are obsessed with the perfect wedding and not all women are like the characters that the two main actress plays. Emma Allen (Anne Hathaway) and Olivia 'Liv' Lerner (Kate Hudson) are best friends whom getting marry. Olivia "Liv" Lerner, a successful attorney who is used to getting her way, and won't settle for anything else yet it is shown that she is supposedly protective and extremely caring of Emma. Yeah right, writers. Emma Allan, a middle school teacher slightly has a meek nature and "gives in" to avoid conflict. I get that they were trying to establish Emma was too eager to please and needed to be more assertive about the things she wanted but that angle really only works when the character isn't acting like a petty jerk. Both been planning every detail of their weddings, since first witnessing a wedding 20 years ago at the Plaza Hotel. Therefore, they both have made it a lifetime priority to be married in the same location in June. The montage of power point photos of them planning it is annoying. They schedule their weddings with New York's most famous wedding planner, Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen). She plays little to the plot, but serves as the narrator of the story which also can do without, as there is no needed for it. A clerical error happens, and they are scheduled to have a wedding on the same day which has cause some conflict. Both will not compromise losing the June date. Eventually, the two women declared war and begone to sabotage each other's wedding hints the movie title card. The movie is over the top, the notion that a passionate female friendship can turn ugly only because of one date in a heartbeat is, sadly, unrealistic. The "true friendship" in this movie is questionable at best. I mean, they claim that they are grand BFFs, but the minute they can't get their ideal wedding they turn on each other? What type of friendship is that? Two supposedly inseparable lifelong friends doing cruel vindictive things to one another for essentially no real reason and when one of the would-be husbands points out just how ridiculous this behavior is this suddenly makes him an un-supportive, un-seeing, insensitive stick in the mud and the relationship collapses. That's a rotten message: implying that a man's role in a marriage is to blandly indulge and support their spouse in all things even when their spouse is essentially hurting themselves. It makes Emma's fiancé seem like a controlling jerk, when in truth Emma is the one making a fool out of herself. The two main guys can be seen as almost equally offensive (but not quite as much), blank, two-dimensional characters. Whose entire existence hings on working and pleasing their to-be wives. They also seem to have flaws so minimal and small they're ridiculous. I half expected them to just come out and reveal that they were artificial cyborgs made to please ridiculous, mean-spirited, and selfish fake woman stereotypes. Perhaps there would have been potential if they truly went for the dark comedy/satire route, but those types of films generally require endings that aren't happily ever after. It seems, however, that the script intends the audience to identify with the protagonists and even feel warmfuzzies about them at the end. Most do not; actually, I'm pretty sure almost anyone anywhere would find the characters appalling, not to mention probably insulting. This women are not heroes, victimizing a poor woman in a Bloomingdales store scene and the following scene where they're being kicked out the front entrance and have an argument outside. Just doesn't sound like really qualify as good publicity for Bloomingdales or womanhood. The film might have been if the writers had explored a potential lesbian subtext suggested by scenes. And the only thought that kept ringing through my head is why these two women aren't married to each other? They are the only people on Earth that I think could stand one another Seeing how this movie was directed by a man name Gary Winick, the movie is so rife with disparaging female stereotypes, yet the story was written by a woman no less. She equally to blame. It is lucky for us that this movie didn't do well at the box office as that part at the end was clearly sequel baiting. They were on purpose setting up a 'conflict' over the day they'll be having a baby or some type of baby shower 'war'. That sequel idea had a abortion.
