Trailer Review: Bride Wars

Posted by Paul Clark


If Rachel Getting Married taught us anything, it’s that Anne Hathaway can be an acting force under the right circumstances. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Bride Wars is the best vehicle to capitalize on the goodwill she’s gotten from Jonathan Demme’s film. Part of the problem is the tendency displayed by a sadly high number of women to become so obsessed with the details of their weddings- a tendency that’s partially fed by the dream weddings found in movies such as this one- that they lose sight of what the ceremony itself really means. Call me crazy, but I just don’t find the premise of a pair of dueling bridezillas funny. But back to Hathaway- perhaps she should take a look at her costar, Kate Hudson, to see how being typecast in romantic comedies can shanghai a once-promising career. It’s not too late to find a different and more interesting path, Anne- I hope you’ll choose wisely.
