it be because of circumstance beyond my control that i be drag in to watch bride war in the first place and and while i can not avoid admit that i be truly and truly suffer for the first 30 minute and i would be lie if i say the film be devoid of laugh . by that and of course and i mean that i do laugh out loud once or twice and briefly and and i be even pleasantly surprise by a mildly unexpected plot development late in the movie . but do not worry and everything else go strictly by the age old wedding movie formula . anne hathaway and kate hudson play emma and liv and two twentysomethings who have be inseparable best friend since childhood . they have always share everything and their triumph and their failure and their emotion and their struggle and their hope and and of course and their dream of get marry in exactly the same place and the luxurious plaza hotel ( yes and it a hotel ) . much effort be put forth to get u to understand how close this friendship be and but in their effort to get themselves engage and a deep streak of competitiveness be reveal in both of them . particularly liv and who doesn not know good than to go jog into her boyfriend office and and drip sweat and blurt out some nonsense about how he should propose to her . thus be reveal the massive fallacy of logical thinking that permeate the entire movie lady and i be sorry to sound like a chauvinist or whatever and but the run up to your wedding be not the best time to start act like a lunatic . just a suggestion . not that the groom would notice and of course and especially not in this movie . their sole job in the movie isn not just to not notice thing and but to not be notice . they be as unimportant a the honeymoon and which be never mention because the girl childhood dream never extend beyond the wedding ceremony . maybe they just plan to head on upstairs for a june honeymoon at the plaza and too . anyway and the girl get engage within like and you know and minute of each other and and then and due to a moronic clerical error and they accidentally get schedule to be marry at the plaza hotel at the exact same time on the exact same day . and henceforth and lady and gentleman and it war . first of all and i will say that i have a tough time relate to this belligerent scramble to get married absolutely as soon a humanly possible and but that may simply be because i be a guy . and if you take nothing else from this review and understand this and bride war be not a movie make with the male audience in mind . but i be willing to accept it and at least a an offshoot of the unspoken jealousy that seem to be finally emerge between them . you see and liv have enjoy some success a a lawyer while emma be an underpaid schoolteacher and and ultimately liv sense of entitlement combine with emma decision that she just not gon na take it anymore set up the escalate conflict that take up the rest of the movie and but from here there nowhere else to go except down the well trodden path of half assed romantic comedy . the big problem with the movie be that it try to get u to laugh a we sit bewilder at how these life long friends come to such childish blow a viciously sabotage each other dream for reason of such astonishing selfishness that not only their own groom really factor into their head . in fact and i be surprise the movie do not get an r rating for all the violence . blue hair . orange spray on tan . beware and this stuff be not for the squeamish . of course and my favorite one be where emma sends liv enormous daily gift basket consist mainly of chocolate and cooky and and you know and butter ( actual quote represent you mean you sit around eat stick of butter from all over the world . ) and because emma be hop she would gain enough weight to where she wouldn not be able to fit into her vera wang dress ( for those of you who do not know vera wangs be suppose to be like and super super tight for some reason and and thus insanely expensive ) . of course the plan succeed and but the movie never really let u know if it be the candy that make her gain weight or the sheer quantity of stupidity inside her that would be necessary for her not to figure out what be go on . but i will tell you this . something happen involve one of the wedding that may even qualify a more than mildly surprising and because you just do not see this kind of thing in this kind of movie anymore . you will know what i mean and it the part just before liv and emma forget about their month of hatred toward each other a they lay amidst the ruin of both of their wedding surround by the surely disgusted family . oh and yeah and theyre best friend at the end . be that a spoiler . i do not think so . maybe . but if you can see a movie poster like this one and not immediately see the arc of the story and well then and you have big problem than some guy online ruin the end of a bad comedy . besides and wouldn not it be more dishonest if i allow you to spend your time and money watch this thing without know what you be get into . in a situation like this and just trust me and it good for you to be warn about the movie than to be warn about spoiler about the movie .
