Review of Bride Wars (2009) by Michal K — 26 Jun 2011

"Bride Wars" is a cute comedy with a few laughs but not much substance. I do enjoy watching both Hathaway and Hudson and feel that both have talent and played their comedic roles well. I felt that Kristen Johnston stole the spotlight a bit (just as her character claims is always the case) and found myself anticipating her presence in each scene.

I also loved Candice Bergen's voiceovers and felt that it tied the story together well. That being said... I could not understand the casting of the male characters in this film - most of them were just AWFUL! The combination of those male actors and the weak story made parts seem very amateurish.

It's good for a few laughs if you have it on in the background but I'm glad that I didn't pay to see it in the theater.
