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.
01/09/09
a stale story badly told
01/08/09
With artifice as layered as the tiers of a marzipan cake, this resembles nothing so much as a stale Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedy: you know that eventually the combatants will recognize they love each other the most.
01/09/09
Predictable, lazy and as overprocessed as Kate Hudson's hair, this thoroughly joyless movie also possesses a deep nasty streak, making it loathsome when it might have been merely annoying.
01/08/09
It’s hard to warm to these superficial women who learn the error of their ways in such an unconvincingly hasty fashion.
01/09/09
excruciating, pointless, spectacularly unfunny, sometimes offensive, hapless stab at a chick flick
01/09/09
Often unimaginative, asinine and bland, even if you're willing to check your brain at the door and suspend your disbelief for 90 minutes.
01/30/09
The idea of a revenge comedy isn't necessarily a bad one, Bride Wars simply fails at it despite having the formidable duo of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, who in their own distinctive ways usually command the screen.
01/09/09
Bride Wars could have been your typical cartoonish, early-winter wedding comedy. Although it certainly has moments like that, it's not as wacky as most of its ilk. Guess the bad news is that it's not much of a comedy.
01/09/09
Appallingly simple-minded.
01/10/09
It is a shame that filmmakers and audiences alike have let romantic comedies devolve into trite mediocrity and banal predictability. The genre deserves far better than Bride Wars and its ilk.
01/09/09
Bride Wars is also a missed opportunity for a crackerjack comedy, dropping any hint of mean-spirited delight to kitten play with mundane nuptial wish-fulfillment and half-realized romantic nonsense.
01/08/09
If Bride Wars is any indication of what's to come, please let last year linger a little longer.
02/19/09
How bad can a movie be, with Goldilocks Hudson and Cinderella Hathaway? So excruciating that Hudson's sunshine can't warm it and Hathaway's rose redolence can't mask its stink.
01/09/09
Top CriticDon't bother to RSVP to Bride Wars.
01/19/09
The writing in Bride Wars is brittle and backbitey, and so are the characters.
