Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are in the "Bride Wars" in this 2009 comedy about two best friends who, due to a scheduling mistake, end up with the same date for their wedding. They agree one has to give up the date; but each finds out from someone else that the other is doing save the date cards or something, and they turn on one another. It becomes a goal for each woman to destroy the other's wedding.This film is really for young girls, or so it seemed to me. It's funny in a silly kind of way. I frankly thought Hudson seemed older than Hathaway (she is, but only by three years).Candace Bergen plays a popular wedding planner, and it's always great to see her. Loved seeing the locations around Central Park and the Plaza.Okay.

This is easily in the bottom 20 movies of all time for me. I was a captive audience member and would not have chosen it myself. I expected a lighthearted romantic comedy, which I can tolerate although that's not my favorite genre.For starters, who in the world is the target demographic for this disaster? I would guess it's tweener girls, but I wouldn't want my daughters to see women acting petty and selfish. The two lead characters are awful people acting in cruel ways. I sort of like dark comedies, but this didn't play as a dark comedy, either.The premise is horrible. The writing doesn't take it anywhere. The acting even wasn't all that great. There was nothing special about the direction.This is a real dog. As I yelled to the groom in the movie, "Run away. Just run away!"

In Manhattan, the lawyer Liv (Kate Hudson) and the school teacher Emma (Anne Hathaway) have been best friends since their childhood. They both are proposed by their boyfriends on the same day and they plan their wedding parties in Plaza Hotel, using the services of the famous Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen). However, due to a mistake of Marion's secretary, their weddings are scheduled for the same day. None of them accepts to change the date and they become enemies, trying to sabotage the wedding party of the rival.The deceptive "Bride Wars" is a mediocre and corny silliness. The predictable screenplay is imbecile and never funny, and wastes the talented Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson in ridiculous roles. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Noivas em Guerra" ("Brides in War")
