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

I love this movie, it's too funny and Kate and Ann put on a great "head to head" race- very well acted and really really funny! I watch it all the time since it came out!

Not As Bad As All That

Reviewed by Marysz, 2010-02-22

Best friends Emma and Liv have a falling out when their weddings at the Plaza are accidentally booked on the same day and both are too stubborn to change their plans. But breaking up their friendship causes both women to grow emotionally. Liv is an aggressive attorney who is a control freak; in the acrimony of her fight with Emma she looses her rigid self-control and perfectionism. Emma, on the other hand, is a public school teacher who is too self-effacing and defers too much to Liv. She's forced to assert herself and become her own person, not only with Liv, but with her fiancee. Sure, the film seems silly with these two otherwise intelligent young women being crazed about having their dream weddings, but it is after all, a comedy.

Not the Best From Those Two.

Definitely Not impressed with these two actresses. Was looking forward to much more. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good.

Fierce Competition Over a Wedding Date

Reviewed by Khaled Altaher, 2010-02-04

Two girls, played by Kate Hudson and Anna Hathaway, since they were very young had the dream of having their wedding held at the Plaza. Both their boyfriends proposed to them at the same time, and therefore they both were getting married soon. Kate and Anne visit a wedding planner to schedule their weddings at the plaza, only the wedding planner mistakenly booked their weddings on the same date. Each girl in the attempt of trying to protect her thunder, forces the other one to change her wedding date by ruining up her wedding. Throughout the movie we watch all sorts of evil attempts to ruin the other girl's wedding, some of them are quite funny.

Entertaining story. However it touch base on the issue of competition and the idea that you need to completely destroy your competitor to get what you want. These are two best friends who were brought up together since they were very young, however they were ready to ruin the life of each other just because of 1 wedding night. It also tells us men that weddings are really a big deal for women (most men treat their weddings as a nice and fun party); and we need to do our best in fulfilling their dream by making it truly a special night for them.
