I think it is safe to say that I love my rom-coms. From your quirky indie gems like 500 days of summer, to your tear-stricken Titanic, I’ll watch them all. Well at least try to.
So the latest one added to the list? Bride Wars. Typically, this was released over a year ago, but I only watched it recently as is my trademark... This cat-fight comedy about two best friends wanting their respective perfect weddings is a solid laugh from beginning to end. Providing enough spark to get even the most tenous couple through.
Our leads, Anne Hathaway (recently Oscar nominated) and Kate Hudson, both want June weddings at the Plaza. And why not? It is, after all, the only place to get married. But what happens when your weddings are booked on the same date? Well all out war, that’s what according to this film. Hathaway and Hudson give the term Bride-zilla a new meaning. From dying one’s hair blue, to spraying the other a ‘blood orange’, it gets increasingly crazy such that it makes you wonder why these two even were able to 'force' men to marry them in the first place!
Enough jokes for a lazy Sunday afternoon rental. So grab your Vera Wang loving girlfriends, some chocolate and cosy up to this flick.
