BRIDE WARS


When I first saw the movie poster, I KNEW that I was going to like the movie..One of my fave movie genres is situational comedy and Bride Wars had Kate Hudson (The daugther of my all-time comedian fave, Goldie Hawn), one of my fave comedians and Anne Hathaway, the pretty actress who shot thru stardom through 'The Devil Wears Prada).

The movie tells a story of two childhood friends, Kate and Anne (Couldn't remember the characters' names in the movie, LOL)..Kate is a successful career woman while Anne is sorta geeky, skinny teacher (Anne had apparently lost some weight in order to fit into the character in the movie) who always played second fiddle to Kate. But she was willing to do that for Kate.But she wasn't THAT willing to do favours for her bitchy fellow teacher:p

The friendship runs smoothly until the time they realize that they want the same thing: a wedding held at the PLAZA on June 6!!Apparently the venue is fully booked, but they got the booking through the professional aid of a very famous wedding consultant, Marion (Candice Bergen). Marion's assistant made a mistake (Consequently she got fired by the stern Marion) and had these two friends booked on the same wedding day at the same place!!

From then on, the two brides-to-be tried EVERYTHING to sabotage each other's wedding so that one of them would move her wedding to another date. Anne put a blue-dye on Kate's hair colorant at the hairdresser salon and Kate put an orrange colour on Anne's tan- mix!Those were just several examples of what these two girls do to each other in order to have their wedding at the Plaza on June 6!!

Nothing spectacular about the movie. things are pretty predictable, sitcom -the -hollywood -way, but some of the scenes are hillarious!!In general, the movie was fast-paced and there was never a dull moment left for the viewers...And of course it was fun to see these two different beauties competing against each other..I wonder if there were behind-the scene cat fights or real competition between these two attractive actresses..Kate is well-known as a comedy actress not unlike Drew barrymore and Anne is starting to go that way, too, through the Devil Wears Prada..

Well, I guess we'll just have to see who will win the REAL competition as the reigning gorgeous comedian then!!:p
