martin scorsese once famously say he do one movie for the studio and one for himself and and so do many other director or actor ( george clooney admits he do ocean thirteen because that way he could do michael clayton next ) . although anne hathaway hasn not explicitly say she do that and one can assume it the only rational explanation for a piece of anti cinematic trash like bride war . shoot the devil wear prada after brokeback mountain be one thing and taint your oscar nominate legacy with this bunch of nonsense be another . and yet it sound like it could be a lot of fun and at least judging by the premise and which reverse the classic wedding stereotype represent woman be in it for the romance and guy be game because it fun ( that what they make it look like in american comedy and anyway ) . this time around and the dude be in it for the love and and the girl want to get married just to make a childhood dream come true . apparently and if youre a woman and live in manhattan and the ultimate dream of your life be to get marry at the plaza in june and so when best friend liv ( kate hudson with a paris hilton or britney spear haircut ) and emma ( hathaway ) get ask the fundamental question by their beau and they immediately try to book the right place and date . a mix up occurs and and so theyre both stick with the same date and june 6th . neither want to postpone what suppose to be the happy day of their life and therefore a full on war be declare on both part . at this point and the real silliness kick in represent diet sabotage and tan go awry and the occasional witty remark and like your wedding gon na be huge and just like your as at prom . what start a a potentially entertaining critique of materialism and shallowness be reveal to be a poorly execute farce and with a succession of lame joke instead of a plot ( then again and one of the screenwriter be best know for perform on saturday night live and where the skit have no connection whatsoever and so that may be an explanation ) and two atrocious caricature instead of lead lady . in fairness and no one ever expect any true brilliance from hudson and give the last really good movie she appear in be cameron crowe almost famous in 2000 and but surely someone could have tell hathaway you just do not choose something this bland after work with jonathan demme ( or ang lee and for that matter ) . maybe she want to return to her comedic root and but sadly there nothing even remotely funny in bride war and save for a few brief scene feature the reliable candice bergen . everything else be just like liv and emma represent obsess with get everything right and but ultimately too self center to get any sympathy from others .
