Take this for what it's worth, coming from a man, women are nuts. Full-blown, over-the-top, ridiculously, in-effing-sane. Bride Wars is a case study of this unfortunate phenomenon. The story of two women, friends since childhood, who have dreamed of the perfect wedding, suddenly find themselves simultaneously engaged. Let the games begin. The downward spiral that these women slide down is mind-blowing. Crazy insane is truly an understatement. Speaking for the majority of my sex, when men compete, we will kill to win. If we cannot win, we will harm those who are in the way. Women, will make those who are in their way WISH they are dead, which is infinitely worse. This story is the chronicle of wedding crazy. It moves along, disaster to disaster, the two women making each others' life worse. Having personally survived the plans for my own wedding, I know what can go wrong, without the complication of a competing friend.
Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are both really funny in their respective roles as competing brides and best friends. Hudson does play evil much more convincingly than Hathaway, but they both do the bitch very well. Unfortunately, the remainder of the cast seems to be in the movie for reaction shots of the crazy. I, honestly have never seen a movie where I felt more sorry for the on-screen friends, than this.
Not a bad movie by any stretch, just reeeaaallllyyy uncomfortable to watch. I liked it, but, WOW, Jackass 1, 2, & 3D were easier to deal with on the "HOLY S**T!!! Did they really just do that?!?!" scale. Word to the wise, non-females, never, ever, mess with a woman's wedding plans. EVER! 6.5/10
Tomorrow's movie: what today's movie was supposed to be: Crazy Heart. Jeff Bridges bromance continues. Power outages really suck. Sorry about the confusion. See you then, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
