Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars

Bride Wars is the romantic comedy film that is quite memorable for me in the sense that I felt so affected with the fact that two best friends became the worst enemies just because both of them wanted to have the perfect wedding.

Cirected by Gary Winick and written by Greg DePaul, June Diane Raphael and Casey Wilson, Bride Wars stars the indefatigable Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, veteran actress Candice Bergen, Bryan Greenberg, Chris Pratt, Steve Howey and Kristen Johnston.

Bride Wars Synopsis
According to Wikipedia:

Emma Allen (Anne Hathaway) and Olivia ‘Liv’ Lerner (Kate Hudson) are best friends who have planned every detail of their weddings, since first witnessing a wedding 20 years ago at the Plaza Hotel. Therefore, they both have made it a lifetime priority to be married in the same location in June.

The movie begins with the two women getting engaged at the age of 26. They then schedule their weddings with New York’s most famous wedding planner, Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen), but due to a clerical error they are scheduled to have a wedding on the same day, June 6 (3 and a half months later). A week of passive aggressive hostility passes before the two women make it clear that neither will compromise, especially after Liv tries to take advantage of Emma’s passive nature and outrages Emma in the process. During this time, Emma’s fiancĂ©, Fletcher (Chris Pratt), begins to show signs of being controlling.

Both women attempt to sabotage each other’s wedding, including Liv making Emma’s tan turn bright orange, Emma tampering with Liv’s hair dye to turn Liv’s hair a shocking blue-white colour, Emma showing up to Liv’s bachelorette party to out-dance her, and Emma secretly sending Liv candy to make her too fat to fit into her dress. Eventually, Emma and Fletcher get into an argument regarding Emma’s manic behavior of sabotaging Liv’s wedding and their friendship.

Sometimes I wonder if these situations have actually happened in real life. Would you really give up a life-long friendship for a wedding? Anyway, in the movie though, it was just as well because Hathaway’s character found out that her fiance is a rather control freak and that she is better off without him. Oh well, I guess I can say that everything ends up well for this movie.

Something Borrowed

As usual, the home movie dates that hubby and I have at home are feel-good movies. This romantic comedy was released in 2011 and stars Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, Colin Egglesfield, and John Krasinski. It was distributed by Warner Bros.

Goodwin plays the role of Rachel White–a down to earth and humble lawyer who is best friends with Darcy (Kate Hudson)–a feisty lady who always gets what she wants. And this includes Rachel’s long-time crush, Dex (Egglesfield).

You may think that it is the usual story where in the end the nice girl gets the boy, but just watch it because the scenes in-between are interesting. I am not really sure if I felt good afterwards so I will not consider it a feel-good movie other than it is a romantic comedy film. But I was entertained and I love Kate Hudson here. She is just a natural for these roles.

Something Borrowed was directed by Luke Greenfield.
