Bride Wars - Movie Review and Synopsis

Two best friends (Hudson and Hathaway) become rivals when a clerical error results in their respective weddings being held at the same place … on the same day.

Though BW is set in Boston, most of the drama is centered around Hathaway and Hudson’s bridal blitz on NYC, a city that has treated Ms. Hathaway very well (Hudson, though, not so much). With this sure-fire hit and her singing-and-dancing performance in Rob Marshall’s Nine, it’s apparent that Hudson has her career back on track, while Hathaway can expect a busy winter promoting this movie, and perhaps enjoying an Oscar nomination for Rachel Getting Married; however, look for Candice Bergen’s wedding planner to make like Miranda Priestly and truly run the events.

Rated PG for suggestive content, language and some rude behavior.
