Bride Wars movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: The timing of this picture's release is unfortunate, as is the picture itself. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: 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. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: 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. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: No cues are needed to understand the plot, which feels computer-generated and barely serves to sustain an hour and a half running time. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: That poor Vera Wang gown has to carry the movie, and that's too much to ask of any dress. Right now, the Wang is probably calling up the green gown from Atonement, asking how to get fixed up with a better script. I wish it luck. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Bride Wars takes the burgeoning Anne Hathaway wedding-movie subgenre from the sublime to the despicable. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: The movie ends with the door wide open for a sequel; one can't imagine anyone involved jumping at the thought. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: 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. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: 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. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Bride Wars makes Sex and the City seem like Jane Austen. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: The film wanly tries to build a case for their two very different, yet complementary, personalities but falls back on slapstick. The filmmakers make thankfully swift work of the tale in just under 90 minutes. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Setting feminism back at least a century, embarrassing a potential Oscar nominee and insulting the very idea of romance, Bride Wars is every bit as awful as it sounds. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Bride Wars pretends to be a satire of wedding mania, but since there's virtually nothing else to the movie, the satire comes depressingly close to endorsement. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: Bride Wars tosses out stereotypes about female materialism and cattiness with all the giddy gusto of a newly married woman flinging the bouquet at her single girlfriends. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: They're real, dimensional humans, not wedding-obsessed fembots. Read more
Robert Wilonsky, L.A. Weekly: [A] shiny sitcom pilot that looks like something yanked from NBC's shelves circa 1989. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: If anyone asks you if you want to see Bride Wars, remember the right answer: I don't. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: Hathaway and Hudson, both natural charmers, are reduced to female stereotypes in this outdated comedy. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: All in all, it's a good girlfriend movie and a decent date-night picture. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: It would be depressing to think that people like this might actually exist. But it's also a little depressing to think that movies like this actually exist, so you can never be too sure. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Anything you need to know to avoid wasting your $12 is in the unpromising trailer. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's a picture that never comes to life before the "death do us part." Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: 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. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: 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. Read more
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com: 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. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: 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. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Even if you can get past the boneheaded premise, the picture feels halfhearted in its construction. Read more
Reyhan Harmanci, San Francisco Chronicle: 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. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It's apathy incarnate. It's the Bride of Floppenstein, a C-minus, a soggy, sad thing floating in a lukewarm limbo of sentimental mediocrity. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Bride Wars is hell at its most banal -- like watching a dull sitcom with a broken remote. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Director Gary Winick has long since abandoned his cool cred from Tadpole and 13 Going on 30 and given himself over to the dark side of making glossy amusements that are about as deep as staring into a snow globe. Read more
Mary F. Pols, TIME Magazine: In the end, the movie owes its mild success to Anne Hathaway, who makes it watchable. Read more
Anna Smith, Time Out: It's hard to warm to these superficial women who learn the error of their ways in such an unconvincingly hasty fashion. Read more
