Summary: 1 Stars
It's movies like Bride Wars that make me so happy I was born with a penis. Bride wars is a toothless, vapid comedy that cheapens the institution of marriage by shamelessly pandering to its lowest common denominator. With a voice over from Candice Bergen, we learn that Liv Lerner (Kate Hudson) and Emma Allen (Ann Hathaway) are two life long girlfriends who have fantasized since the age of seven to have June weddings at the Plaza Hotel (hold that thought). Surprise surprise: Now in their twenties, Emma and Liv get engaged at the same time and though they both manage to snare separate dates in June at The Plaza for their respective weddings, through some irreversible glitch, their dates both get switched to the same day.
At first, Liv and Emma are crestfallen over the situation. They try to rectify it, but as the reality sets in that one of them must move their date, the claws begin to unsheathe and Liv and Emma become two of the biggest Bridezilla douche-pies this side of the Bravo Channel. What follows is a rapid devolution of their friendship into a tit for tat rivalry. There's a tanning salon fiasco for Emma and a blue-hair incident for Liv. This is meant to be funny, but it's just tedium. Worse still, the fiances are bit players who don't figure much into the movie's equation at all, and by the end, they become so inessential that they could have been replaced by blow-up dolls.
Bride Wars doesn't know what it wants to be. This is owing to director Gary Winick's shift in tone. The first half is dedicated to the spiteful revenge stunts the girls pull on each other, but the second half becomes a halfhearted focus into each character's relationship with their fiances, plus a sort of ice melting set-up for the ending so we don't hate either of the girls too much by the time the credits roll. I would even forgive the tonal disparity, weak script and blotchy narrative, if it weren't for one egregious, frightfully disturbing theme that I find completely obsolete and not a little offensive. This movie normalizes the fact that girls should have their weddings planned out by the age of seven; regardless of career, hobbies or friends and family that surround her, a woman isn't accomplished until she's walking down the aisle. And when a woman gets engaged, she has license to act rudely, selfishly, and vindictively by simple virtue of that fact. Bride Wars inadvertently makes a great case against any form of marriage, gay or straight.
And the visual ipecac doesn't stop there. The last straw comes during the epilogue, when one final stroke of bathetic manipulation involving a double pregnancy made me realize that Bride Wars is really only good for one thing: stomach pumping.
DVD Review: Bride Wars
Summary: 3 Stars
Liv and Emma are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. Some parts of this movie is funny, but a lot of it was just too contrived. Ti's decent.DVD Review: Good Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
It was a good movie. I expected more because most of the cute scenes were shown on the ads for the movie. I will probably watch again in a year or so and it may be better then.DVD Review: Yet Another Wedding-Themed Comedy -- and Not a Very Good One
Summary: 2 Stars
Two best friends Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) have the same dream: getting married in the prestigious Plaza Hotel in New York. One day Liv and Emma both get engaged (almost simultaneously), so they both rush to the city's most famous wedding planner Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen). Marion accepts the job; their weddings are booked; it is their childhood dream come true.
But the dream turns a nightmare when they discover that the receptionist at Marion's office made a mistake. This means both weddings are booked on the same day. Liv and Emma fall out over the conflicting schedule, and (I don't know why, but) instead of having a double wedding, the girls start doing outrageous antics to ruin the other's wedding plans.
Probably whether or not there are really such people who attempt to sabotage their lifelong friend's wedding ceremony is not relevant. The story doesn't convince me anyway and I still don't understand why the two unmemorable grooms are attracted to the annoying girls in the first place. These weaknesses, however, could have been forgotten had the film been fun to watch. Sorry, it is not.
"Bride Wars" is directed by Gary Winick, who did a much better job in "13 Going on 30" and "Charlotte's Web." Here he is determined to play it safe, never going for any hard-hitting jokes or originality when he has a chance. I know this is not a dark comedy like "The War of the Roses." Still, what those bickering girls do to each other simply do not deserve the name of "war" as they are just clich?d, recycled jokes seen somewhere else.
I like Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway (and remember they are Oscar nominees) ans have seen most of their works. I confess I kind of loved their rather tame "cat fight" scene, though I am afraid it only does harm to their career in the end.
Description of Bride Wars
TWO BEST FRIENDS BECOME RIVALS WHEN THEY SCHEDULE THEIR RESPECTIVE WEDDINGS ON THE SAME DAY.How important is the perfect wedding? Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson) have been best friends since childhood and each has always dreamed of an extravagant wedding at the Plaza hotel. When both friends get engaged in the same week, they rush to the exclusive wedding planner Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen) to book the perfect weddings at the Plaza hotel. The reservations get mixed up and both weddings end up scheduled on the same day and, since there are no other suitable openings available at the Plaza, the friends find themselves in the impossible situation of having to decide who will sacrifice her long-held dream and change venues. It turns out that neither woman is willing to give up her plans for a perfect wedding and the friends turn against one another in a hilarious battle that results in everything from blue hair to rumors of pregnancy and embarrassing home videos accompanying one bride's walk down the aisle. Can even a life-long friendship survive the emotional turmoil of two weddings gone wrong? Bride Wars is an amusing look at the trials of friendship and love that's sure to inspire laughter and perhaps even a tear or two. --Tami Horiuchi
