They're real, dimensional humans, not wedding-obsessed fembots.

Consensus: Bride Wars takes the already wearisome concept of battling bridezillas, and makes it thoroughly insufferable via a lazy script and wholly detestable characters.

Reviews for Bride Wars
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, who play the would-be brides, are good actors and quick-witted women, here playing characters at a level of intelligence approximating HAL 9000 after he has had his chips pulled.
01/08/09
Top CriticBride Wars is a retrograde comedy that makes women look like shallow, scheming, selfish creatures who worship consumerism and fret about their hips.
01/09/09
Watchable comedy, enlivened by strong performances from Hudson and Hathaway and a decent script that isn't afraid to make the central friendship the most important relationship in the movie.
01/09/09
All in all, it's a good girlfriend movie and a decent date-night picture.
01/09/09
Top CriticIf anyone asks you if you want to see Bride Wars, remember the right answer: I don't.
01/09/09
Plain and simple, this is a paycheck [for Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson] and a waste of their time, your time and mine.

Guys, this one's for the ladies.

You could do worse in Hollywood's dumping ground.

...only Hudson has been stumping the talk shows on this one. Hathaway appears to be hiding in her closet until it blows over and everyone gets back to remembering her previous film.
01/08/09
The timing of this picture's release is unfortunate, as is the picture itself.
01/08/09
Top CriticHathaway and Hudson, both natural charmers, are reduced to female stereotypes in this outdated comedy.
01/08/09
In these recessionary times, it's not just misogynistic to assume that intelligent women turn into feral dogs at the sight of a Tiffany gift box, but it's also beside the point.

You want to see Anne Hathaway in a worthy vehicle? Check out "Rachel Getting Married." You want to see Kate Hudson in a worthy vehicle?Rent a time machine.
02/08/09
It's a picture that never comes to life before the "death do us part."
01/07/09
If you see anyone trying to flog this as a dodgy DVD in the pub, report them to the police. It really is criminal.

I now pronounce you mildly amused!

As if to assuage the anxieties of the millions of same-sex couples deprived of the right to wed in this nation, here comes Bride Wars to make the entire institution of marriage look almost as awful as last year's dreadful 27 Dresses did.

a stale story badly told
