Film Review

Hey guys!

As Janine asked, I'm posting here the last composition (film review).


My life would suck without you

BRIDE WARS is the new movie by Gary Winick, director of From 13 to 30. Anne Hathaway (from The Princess’ Diary) plays Emma, the patient, good girl who is afraid of rejection, while Kate Hudson (How to loose a guy in 10 days) plays Liv, a tough bossy type.


The two woman “complete” each other in a friendship that lasts ever since kindergarten. Thought out all these years, they have always fed the dream of throwing a great big weeding party at Plaza Hotel in the month of June. However, when their wedding end up being scheduled for the same day, their “friendship of a lifetime” is strongly challenged, and old resentments start to come out.

The movie is a typical American comedy to be watched in a Sunday night. The acting is good for the movie’s purpose, nothing extraordinary, just adequate. Happy ending, clichés all around. But still, it doesn’t fail in the aim of making us think about the value of a friend. Despite the informal approach, the movie remind us of this very important message: sometimes we give so much importance to a specific thing that we forget about that other one that has always been there, in a way that we have never imagined how would it be to live without it.

  1. Haven't seen this film yet, but it is in my list.
    I like Kate Hudson a lot. I think she's extremely versatile. Althought she chiefly worked in comedies, I have seen her in other genres, and she was great, as in The Skeleton Key (2005). It thrilled me so much that I lost my sleep and had nightmares for days.
    If you want to have an idea of what it is all about, take a look at its trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=654uzrc6Lsk).
    This film you've mentioned also shows her talent behind the camera, since she works as a director in it.
