if youre look for a comedy with weird plot twist and a sprinkling of humor and then you will still be search bride war excels at the former and sadly fail at the latter . it not entirely silly sabotage and witless laugh a a few scene and character do stand out of the cliché wed comedy crowd and but ultimately the tragic outcome and easy clean up of a far too messy situation will leave viewer wish for a more comfortably predictable plot line . liv ( kate hudson ) and emma ( anne hathaway ) have be best friend since childhood and both have always dream of a gorgeous june wedding at the luxurious plaza hotel . when both girl boyfriends ask for their hand in marriage and liv and emma enlist the highly reputable wedding planner marion st. claire ( candice bergen ) to acquire their dream locale . unfortunately a clerical error have their wedding set on the same day and thus begin a rivalry of increasingly ruthless sabotage a both girl refuse to reschedule their most important day . no experimentation or originality can be see in bride war . everything be terribly formulaic and from the music narrate montage to the carefully pattern dialogue to the high point and low point for each of the heroine . when a half expect love triangle form and it be completely unnecessary and sorely mislay this be the kind of film where each event be good off contribute solely to comedy and every sad moment be best coat with ridiculous gag and off the wall mood shift resolution . touch of seriousness have no place in bride war and which struggle so greatly with it adult dilemma that the moment of humor feel force shove into the crack to even out the heartbreak most would not be feel for these cookie cutter character . if it wasn not bad enough that no individuality find it way through all the girl orient giggling and hormonal wedding craze and subdue cat fighting and the humor itself be oftentimes indecipherable from the drama . sometimes it funny to see these girl bitterly attack one another even if be mean to sympathize and and other time it dishearten when be suppose to be laugh . either way and so little of the film spark interest or concern over two hopelessly contrive and generic best friend that it would be as wasteful to debate over them a it be to spoil two hour of valuable time watch the film . hopefully even the target audience will realize the recycled and uninspired nature of bride war . the massie twin .
