Reviews for Bride Wars
Appallingly simple-minded.
01/10/09
Mere months ago, Anne Hathaway participated in Rachel Getting Married, a film brimming with life. Now here she is in a film with virtually no life at all.
01/09/09
Bride Wars wants to have its five-tiered cake and eat it too, making toothless jokes about the absurdity of the multibillion dollar wedding industry while never letting us forget that no woman is complete without one.
01/07/09
Wedding comedy amuses, but has inconsistent messages.
01/09/09
All it takes is a bride scorned to turn a stock movie character into a raving caricature of emotional instability.
01/08/09
A crass, despicably sexist piece of Hollywood trash.
01/08/09
If Bride Wars is any indication of what's to come, please let last year linger a little longer.

There's more cheer to be gained from staring outside at a bleak and desolate winterscape in the twilight of a shortened day than paying good money to endure this example of cinematic offal.

Top CriticI now pronounce you mildly amused!
01/14/09
A paean to friendship and conspicuous consumption that is just simply wrong. On a number of levels.
01/17/09
Our deepest condolences to Hudson as the ironically named "Liv". Her dead eyes and rouged cheeks suggest she's bypassed the wedding and gone straight to the funeral.
01/09/09
Two shallow women friends become enemies in this unappealing comedy.
01/08/09
It's a chick flick; nothing wrong with that. But it's also a chick flick that makes its chick characters -- and by extension its chick audience -- look like hateful, backward toddlers, and there is something wrong with that.
01/09/09
Top CriticYeah, Bride Wars is only a chick flick, but chicks deserve better than this.
01/09/09
It's like the Whack-a-Mole of everything reasonable people hate about so-called 'chick flicks.' [Blu-ray]
05/25/09
You could do worse in Hollywood's dumping ground.
01/09/09
a stale story badly told
01/08/09
reptilian, hateful stuff, biologically engineered to disrespect--with maximum efficiency--the precise demographic to which it targets itself.
07/12/09
...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.
