This week has been full of movie-going. I saw Bride Wars the other day and it was quite good. I really enjoyed it. I didn’t find Kate Hudson’s character, Liv, all that wonderful, but her relationship with her fiancé, Daniel, was delightful. Emma played by Anne Hathaway was a wonderful character, even if she started off like a shy dormouse and doormat. She learns to stick up for herself and her wants and needs.
Emma and Liv have been friends since a very young age. They met at the Plaza over tea with their mothers and saw a bride emerging like a fairy princess. That day on, they were the best of friends and played weddings taking turns as bride and groom. Now they are older and their boyfriends have proposed. Excited and overjoyed with the prospect of finally getting to create their own dream weddings, the two young women go to Marion St. Claire, Manhattan’s most sought after wedding planner, played by Candice Bergen.
Everything is going fine until an error on Marion’s assistant’s part. Now Liv and Emma must share the date of their wedding. Instead of a double wedding, they choose to have separate weddings. One of them must decide not to get married on that day so they can attend the other’s wedding ceremony and reception. When Emma finds out Liv has automatically assumed that Emma would back down, she gets mad and refuses to give up the location or day of her wedding. This decision however means they can’t be each other’s maid of honor and must fight each other to get the best of everything from DJ to cake. And it is war – a funny outrageous war, but enjoyable nonetheless.
You find out just how the couples work and support each other during this time. The men obviously are confused by the whole thing and remain friendly with one another. As Daniel supports Liv with kindness, love, and understanding; Fletcher belittles, argues, and upsets Emma. Good thing Nate, Liv’s brother, is around to watch over both women… and one in particular.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

Ohhh, I saw an ad for this somewhere… It looks cute! TY for the review! I now know a lot more about it (but not too much!)
I want Kate Hudson to play my main character in the movie version of The List.
Though, I don’t think I would take my wedding-shy BF to see this one.
Hey Samanther, you’re welcome – make sure you see it soon I think it’s almost out of theaters in this area based on the times that were available.
Carmen – that’s actually something Fletcher says to Daniel in the movie. You’d think they’d wait to show how crazy nutso they are until after the wedding… pause… that’s how I’d play it.
