Anne Hathaway is one of my favourite actresses and I loved her in this. I love weddings and wedding films (The Wedding Singer, The Wedding Planner, 27 Dresses) I could go on. I loved absolutely everything about this film. I loved how the story was told by the wedding planner in this film and rotated around each character. You could see the girls were a great partnership in this film. I haven't seen Kate Hudson in much before so wasn't really sure about her, but she was so good in this film. I loved her comedy she and Anne's character bounced of each other. I really enjoyed it when they were getting at each other, blue hair, bright orange tan and other things. I cried, and that's a sign to me that a film is good. If a film toys with my emotions then I know it's been a good one. I tell you the truth though; I wasn't expecting the surprise at the end. Both married, both pregnant, both due on the exact same date. Great film and would recommend it to everyone I know.

I unlike some other enjoyed the movie. It was comical and I thoroughly liked watching it. My friends all would like to see a pregnancy sequel of Bride Wars. NOT only are the actors exceptional, but just the whole June wedding is enough to have kept me watching. You hear so many people talking about June weddings, but for you and your best friend to have the same wedding date is hilarious how it played out. It is just plain and simply a movie worth watching many times over. I have teenagers who live it, also so it can't be that bad for them to watch. You have to find the lighter side of the plot. It is about a friendship and bonds made since childhood. How people end up still staying together and sharing their special movements in life. That's what it was all about. Although, the one part I didn't like was when at the end something more could've been given such as Pregnancy Wars...

I remember seeing this advertised shortly before it was released and how I wanted to see it because it looked different from other wedding films I've seen such as 'Runaway Bride (best wedding film I've seen in my life so far)' and 'My Best Friend's Wedding (not quite as good as this one or 'Runaway Bride' but it still had two of my favourite actresses in the names of Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz).' I saw this with a member of staff from my former care home (going to the cinema was a regular pastime for me when I lived there) and we enjoyed it partly due to my insistence of dragging her along to see the 'girlie films.' Re-visiting this just over five years after my first viewing, I still enjoyed it although I noticed a few things differently.One complaint I have about this film is its uneven pacing. Up until the scene where Marion the wedding planner announces that Liv's and Emma's weddings were booked on the same day, it was somewhat slow. After that scene it slows down again up until Emma sends Liv several treats so that Liv can't fit into her wedding dress; Liv ruins Emma's spray tan; Emma swaps Liv's chosen highlight colour for blue and so on. That part of the actual 'wars' was swiftly paced but after that the pace slows down again until the wedding scene. In spite of the uneven pacing, the movie was brilliantly filmed, included some fine uses of still photography, was sumptuously edited (particularly the brief scenes of Emma passing the news of her engagement to her friends and Emma announcing her 'save-the-date'), and well-acted if it was silly and a little overdone in places. The incidental music was classy and charming in a similar manner to that used in 'Enchanted' and I liked some of the songs on the soundtrack such as Duffy's songs 'Rain On Your Parade' and 'I'm Scared,' Eve's 'Tambourine' and Technotronic's 'Pump Up the Jam.' The set designs were elaborate, particularly those of Marion's office and the wedding venue, Anne Hathaway was especially beautiful while the plot and script were fresh for a wedding film. I also found the opening sequence and the flashback of Liv and Emma witnessing a wedding plus playing 'weddings' themselves absolutely adorable.The writing was witty and clever in places and I liked how Emma and Liv made up during Liv's wedding (due to Emma having called hers off but still attending Liv's reception and marrying someone else a year later). I also liked how the announcements of Liv and Emma becoming pregnant and their babies being due on the same day linked to their weddings being booked on the same day, despite the ending being rather abrupt.All in all the pacing was uneven but I liked its originality and it is the second best wedding film I have seen to date. 9/10.

Despite the bad reviews, Bride Wars is my favourite movie ever. I've seen it a million times and I never get tired of it, it's just a funny, entertaining, feel-good movie. I think the bad reviews are just because It is a complete chick flick. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH IT!! Apparently this has to be 10 lines but that's all I have to say so just ignore this: 1111111111111111111111111111111122222222222222222 2222 2222222223 3333333 3333333333 333333344444 4444444444 444444444445555555555 55555555 55556 666 6666 666666 66666 66666 7777 77777777 7777777 777788 8888 888888 888 888888 88999 9 99 999 99 9999 9999999 999999 99999999 999999 99999 999999 9999988 888 88888888 888888 877777 777777 7777777 7777777 77777 7777 77777 77777 7666666 66666666 66666666 66666 6666666 6666 6666666666666655
