Bride Wars

Two lifelong friends (played by Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson) have a common dream: to be married at The Plaza in New York City. How adorable, right? Wrong, because a scheduling snafu results in their weddings being on the same day, and all hell breaks loose, Hollywood-style. They go from being each other’s bridesmaids to saboteurs, each trying to wreck the other’s nuptials. Hathaway and Hudson can be charming, but here, they’re stuck in a messy, ridiculous movie that wastes their talents. You expect this kind of crap from Hudson, who can’t pick a good script to save her life, despite her talent. Hathaway, on the other hand, should’ve known better. They each have some good moments, but the end result is a cloying, ridiculous misfire. It’s making some money, and the ending has “sequel” written all over it, so this might not be the end.
