lovebug: 14 days to love (day 7)

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE?

BRIDE WARS
Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway
20th Century Fox

Even Best Friends Can’t Share The Same Wedding Day.

Something tells me that there was a valid reason why this movie wasn't screened as a VDay 09 release. Bride Wars has been panned by critics as the worst movie of the year. Anyone in their right frame of mind would ascertain that it definitely is. Romantic comedies are supposed to be one - romantic, and two - funny. People would've settled for either but sadly, the movie neither offers romantic thrills or brilliant humor. One can say that it is actually a drama about friendship coming out triumphant over anything but Bride Wars still fails to project that concept. Miserably. The slapstick jokes are sloppy. The supporting characters are dispensable and useless. The plot is utterly predictable. The ending is a cop out. In short, the movie is pointless. Pointless. Pointless! Even Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway's charm can't save this film. Not unless their characters ended up marrying each other which probably could've raised the interest level a notch higher than "blah". But until that happens, Hudson and Hathaway's weddings can suck it.

Yes, I believe in love. I believe it because I've tried.
