okay and i like bride war . admittedly bride war be not any sort of oscar threat . it be a funny and sweet and albeit clumsy erratic romantic comedy . anne hathaway and kate hudson be great . in particular anne hathaway provide the emotional anchor in this fluffy romance . director gary winick direct 13 go on 30 a few year back which be really well do . bride war be not as good . however and i think it redeem itself for it heart and sentiment . hudson and hathaway play childhood best friend liv and emma and who always dream of get marry at the plaza hotel in new york . 20 year later liv and emma find themselves engage and hire wedding coordinator extraordinaire marion st. claire ( classic candice bergen ) . they get their wish represent dream june wedding at the plaza hotel . liv and emma be soul sister and of course will be each other maid of honor . predictably due to a glitch by marion assistant liv and emma wedding be book on the same day . of course type a driven corporate attorney liv ( hudson ) initially expect nice girl school teacher emma ( hathaway ) to acquiesce . but neither will back down . thus and begin the bride war . this be nearly as ridiculous a the clone war and although intentionally funny . we witness catty exchange . emma say and your wedding gon na be huge and just like your as at prom . liv reply and your wedding can suck it . not always inspire repartee . there be a hilarious bit where liv expound the zen quality of vera wang . when liv and emma be at each other throat there be hysterical moment . liv cause emma to turn orange at a tan salon . emma fatten up liv by send gift food basket to her office liv thinking they be from her fiancé daniel ( understanding steve howay ) . they include cooky and sweet . but the classic be that liv actually consume the butter of the world mix . despite the unevenness and writer greg depaul and casey wilson delve underneath the high jinx represent look at whether liv and emma have find their respective soul mate in daniel ( howay ) and fletcher ( chris pratt ) . it not entirely what we expect . at a narrative catharsis the vulnerable hathaway emma exclaims and i can not do this this go to perhaps the underlying theme express so eloquently by bergen marion and the one person who know you sometimes good than you know yourself be the same person who be stand beside you all along . the shortcoming of bride war be not sustain this eloquence throughout and when it deserve it . hathaway infuse some of the needed poignancy here represent a she really look at her life when she talk with her dear friend and who also be liv solid brother nate ( charm bryan greenberg ) . hudson and although seemingly have a bad hair movie and be at her quirky and spirit best play the strung too tight liv . what bride war miss be more quiet time between gag and so liv and emma can just be . it hysterical see hathaway pole dancing . but it be also touch see liv hug emma dad . hathaway and hudson and and bergen make up for much of the rough spot of the screenplay . bride war work and because it be the story of best friend and soul mate who get distract from what be really importantlove . in the end bride war get it right .
