Description of Bride Wars:
How important is the perfect wedding? Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson) have been best friends since childhood and each has always dreamed of an extravagant wedding at the Plaza hotel. When both friends get engaged in the same week, they rush to the exclusive wedding planner Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen) to book the perfect weddings at the Plaza hotel. The reservations get mixed up and both weddings end up scheduled on the same day and, since there are no other suitable openings available at the Plaza, the friends find themselves in the impossible situation of having to decide who will sacrifice her long-held dream and change venues. It turns out that neither woman is willing to give up her plans for a perfect wedding and the friends turn against one another in a hilarious battle that results in everything from blue hair to rumors of pregnancy and embarrassing home videos accompanying one bride's walk down the aisle. Can even a life-long friendship survive the emotional turmoil of two weddings gone wrong? Bride Wars is an amusing look at the trials of friendship and love that's sure to inspire laughter and perhaps even a tear or two. --Tami Horiuchi

Bride Wars Reviews:
Should've been PG-13 
2009-10-25 - This movie was OK. It wasn't as good as I had expected. I was a little frustrated because of some of the scenes and topics of discussion through out the movie. They each lived with their boyfriends/fiances, too. There were a couple of references made about them sleeping with different guys. There was a scene that was in a strip club that should've made it PG-13. There were scenes showing people drinking alcohol. The story line was pretty good, but I think it could've been better without the sex & alcohol.
Lots of fun 
2009-10-06 - Kate and Anne are perfect for the roles. I cracked everytime a joke is at the right time.Anne is extremely sweet and so is Kate but in a different way.Very funny scenes it is worthy as a romantic comedy.I would think about marriage in a different way...Funny.
Inane and Disrespectful
2009-10-04 - It is hard to understand how a bland movie that was made for women - ends up insulting women. The vacuous script is full of cat-fights between girlfriends, who have been like sisters. They are absolutely horrid to each other when they find out that their dream location for the marriage (The Plaza Hotel in New York) has only two openings for weddings on the same date.
You wonder why they just don't have a double wedding and save some money - but how they fight over attendees, and dresses, etc. left me incredulous.
The bottom line is best friends become worst enemies just because they chose the same wedding date and the same location.
The plot is weak - and the expensive weddings featured must be promoted by the billion dollar bridal industry.
Both Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson could do much better.
good. 
2009-10-03 - If you liked "confessions of a shopaholic" you'll like this. it wasn't particularly safe... The End...
Cute, but not great. 
2009-09-24 - While Hathaway and Hudson were their usual adorable selves, the movie wasn't all that great. The story sounded good, but the presentation wasn't that wonderful. I found myself wanting to fast forward through bits.
Overall it was cute, but by no means either of their best work.
