Bride Wars

I saw this a few days ago actually but couldn't bring myself to write the review and only feel forced due to having watched another movie since then. I liked the idea the trailers presented. two best friends who accidentally get the same wedding date at the same place and neither willing to budge so it's a big ole cat fight, ala Mean Girls.

In reality it's nowhere near that level of entertainment. The mean things are mostly shown in the trailer. Hudson's character actually forces her boyfriend to propose because her best friend is getting married (thus solving the problem IMO) but the film never goes there. It's a shallow movie all around and with one memorable scene in a club being the only worth while moment for the whole film.

Girls will love it because girls love these kind of films. Hell, I work with two girls who got married and knocked up around the same time and kinda sorta married into each others family so I know this could kinda sorta happen.

Entertainment Value - 2/5

Movie - 2/5
