Bride Wars

Rated PG
Starring Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Candice Bergen, Kristen Johnston

Girls start dreaming about their wedding day from the time they're very young. For Liv and Emma, it all started one afternoon when their mothers took them to a luncheon at the Plaza and they stumbled upon a lavish wedding there in the hotel. From that day forward, all they could think about was their perfect wedding days, each being the other's Maid of Honor. Flash forward 20 or so years and both girls are still close and awaiting proposals from their men any day now. While being exact opposite personalities, they compliment each other very well. They have only a few key rules about their weddings - it must be in June and it must be at the Plaza. All seems well until the girls get a call that due to a mix up, their weddings have both been booked for the same day and there are no other openings at the Plaza for 3 years. Someone will have to move their date and venue, but neither girl wants to be that someone. And so the sabatoge begins!

While the girls attempts to sabatoge each others wedding plans to get back at the other for not changing their date and venue, Emma beings to grow a backbone and stand up for what she wants for once, while Liv learns that she doesn't always have to be right and in control. Both girls realize how important it is to be themselves and how important their friendship to each really is.

Being someone who just had a wedding last fall, it was fun to see a movie about girls going crazy over the whole process - while a bit exaggerated, it was still amusing. Definitely more of a movie for the girls, although it does show guys how crazy some women get over weddings! See it with your girlfriends or grab a man who loves you for date night.
