A movie best left at the altar. Full Review |

1/5 |
There's a good deal of potential squandered in this strained comedy, which suffers from lazy writing, miscalculated acting, perfunctory directing and general bad timing. Full Review |

 3.5/5 |

|
2/5 |
Eighty-eight minutes and 14 seconds of pure, unadulterated piffle. Full Review |

I now pronounce you mildly amused! Full Review |

While the premise is as flimsy as a brides' veil, Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway make this girls-only comedy about two girls, two weddings and a friendship in crisis, into a moderately enjoyable, if forgettable affair Full Review |

|
1/4 |
the leading ladies don't provide any memorable moments other than the obvious visual gag of a cat fight between two women in wedding dresses. Full Review |

If Bride Wars is any indication of what's to come, please let last year linger a little longer. Full Review |

You want to see Anne Hathaway in a worthy vehicle? Check out "Rachel Getting Married." You want to see Kate Hudson in a worthy vehicle?Rent a time machine. Full Review |

3.5/10 |
Often unimaginative, asinine and bland, even if you're willing to check your brain at the door and suspend your disbelief for 90 minutes. Full Review |
