    Film Brain thinks this movie just takes the cake! Season 2, Episode 23.

    Originally posted in August 2010, this video is a re-edited version (upscaled to HD) that runs 2m 59s shorter than the original. This episode has been extensively re-edited as you can tell, significantly cutting down movie clips, a few jokes that I don't think aged particularly well, and generally tightening up the pacing. In Welshy's cameo, I've fixed both the aspect ratio issues, and also tweaked the lighting in some shots. But the biggest difference may be one you'll hear: I've applied noise reduction to all the on-camera and voiceover segments to eliminate the miniDV camera and tape noise that was persistent many of the early episodes. This was something I learned from editing the Stormbreaker episode, where I needed to apply it to Dom's voiceover, and then I got the idea to use it on some of the episodes I was re-editing to see if it would work, and I wish I had learned to do this sooner. It's not perfect, and I've tried not to completely erase it so it doesn't sound too odd, but hopefully it is a major improvement, and will be applied on episodes going forward, both new and old.
    One thing that is super-awkward is that this movie has a lot of alumni from the podcast How Did This Get Made, which I quite like (it's certainly helped out some long train journeys) and discovered well after this review, but there goes my chances of ever being invited on that show... The reason the year is listed in the title is because this got a Chinese remake in 2015, that by all accounts is even worse than this one. This has been re-posted to tie in with the releases of both Ocean's 8 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, so enjoy!

      Not gonna lie, Film Brain - out of all the rom-coms you've reviewed so far, this is hands down the worst one. Yes, even worse than The Ugly Truth. See, with The Ugly Truth at least there was an attempt at satire. The filmmakers failed miserably in that regard, but their intention was clear. Bride Wars, on the other hand, doesn't take place in any realm of reality. It relies on contrivances to tell its horrendous story because it knows that in real life the solution to the dilemma of Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson's characters would be a very simple but very effective one. The movie goes on and on and on about how these two are supposed to be the best of friends, right? Well, if this movie had any brain cells to rub together, and if Hudson's character really was a good friend (which she isn't, but I digress), she would've proposed a double wedding to Hathaway's character. That way, both of them would have their special days that they have dreamed about all their lives and what would make it even more special is the knowledge that one of them did something good for the other and helped her out in her time of need. And I'm just realizing that this would've made for a rather sweet and perfectly decent short film. But nope, we have to stretch this thin-ass premise to movie length and humiliate two talented actresses in the process and insult the audience's intelligence in the process!

    • @organicstorm
      @organicstorm 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      dyeing back from blue (that has been on as if it was bleach/blonde, so longer than normal) to blonde involves bleaching, though - which could destroy her hair and turn it into string cheese or make it fall out - especially if she had weak or thin hair to begin with (which she probably has, since blonde hair is generally very thin compared with dark hair). It is never a good idea to put bleach on multiple times in one day.
      (... i dyed my naturally blonde hair dark green as a teenager and my parents made me go to a salon to remove the dye - still had greenish tint in the back where the hair was lighter from natural sun bleaching for months and every time my hair got wet it smelled like the remover, so i wouldn't recommend doing it o.O they didn't mind when i cut it down to 5mm, still don't know why they hated the green that much)

    Seriously, they could have just had a morning wedding and an evening wedding and then had their own receptions at a later date. It's not like the reception has to be had the moment after the I Do's. This would have allowed both of them to have their moments and be at each other's weddings. The writers really should have made it so only one slot was available, although it's not that rare for people to wait up to a year after a proposal to have a wedding so one of them waiting for another slot shouldn't have been a problem at all. And even I know all this despite being a girl who has never had much thought to weddings! Think of how quick it would have been for the writers to think past this lame 'war' and think up a couple of decent problems.

They could've done it together and would've saved some money,as you can see-Weddings are freaking EXPENSIVE,for god's sake!

    • @Jessi2222

      Very true, and of course would have made for a boring movie. Therefore, if they wanted a fallout and a 'sabotage the wedding' theme movie then why not go the rout of not having two bookings for one day? Or better yet why not have it so that Anne's character gets hit with an expensive problem and therefore can't afford the wedding unless it's on a specific day so therefore they have a reason to fight over something. I'm not saying the fight itself wouldn't be very petty, but you could at least sympathize with one of them in that case right?

    You know the sad thing about this whole movie and it's "conflict"? It could have been fixed! Have the two weddings be at different times on the same date, make one get jealous of the others' more fancier wedding, replace most of the petty embarrassment attacks with more brutal sabotage like spiking the wedding cake and completely go with the black comedy satire Matt mentioned and the plot would have been fine!
    Sure, it might be crap but it would be a more watchable film than the film we got, especially towards the female demographic it was aimed at.
    Speaking of, women apparently hate this film. No joke. I found an online list of chick flicks that even women hate years ago and Bride Wars was one of them. Though i'm guessing if you one of those casual comedy movie watchers that just wants to laugh regardless of the movie's quality... maybe I could see a woman with a different mindset getting their kicks out of this...

      I'm a woman and I hate chick flicks. They are little more than sexist cliches that should have been left to rot in the 1950's, and constantly depict women as shallow harpies and shrieking idiots despite the fact that women are the target audience, and all male characters are either jerks or non-entities that could be replaced with store mannequins with zero impact on the plot.

      Rae Johnson I assume the makers of this film thought that it was clever commentary that a wedding would drive friends into enemies, which is totally OK because they make up at the end when Anne Hathaway breaks up with Chris Pratt on the day of their wedding in front of all their family and friends.

As well as writing hit songs for artists like Rihanna, Shakira and Ne-Yo?

    Obviously you're not going to do those women a favor, they're treating you badly.
    If they came up to her and explained that there was a mixup, and they have both been dreaming about this since they were kids, then offered her the new date plus help covering her fees for switching everything (with help from the wedding planner since it's her fault) things probably would've worked out.

    "I don't want a double wedding because I've shared everything with my best friend and I want just one day to be about me"
    First of all, it's a ceremony where you marry another person. It wouldn't be just about you regardless. Second, you both have different careers, so you must've gone to different colleges. Were your graduation ceremonies on the same day? Are your birthdays on the same day? This reasoning makes you sound like you're desperate for attention.

The only bright sparks were the secretary lady, Michael Arden as Kate Hudson's catty assistant, and a really good Duffy song that had no business being in this movie. The worst crime it committed was making me sympathise with a character played by Chris Pratt.

    It's no secret that many women can turn into bridezillas when planning their wedding day. But the real reason behind this behavior may be rooted in the fairytales we grew up with. From a young age, we were taught to dream of finding our own prince or princess and living happily ever after. These fairytales often depict a perfect and beautiful wedding, which can become ingrained in our minds and lead to the desire for perfection on our own big day. And when things don't go as planned, it's easy to become a bridezilla.

      This film was baseline comedy, and also - even though it wasn't written or directed by him - had that Judd Apatow era problem of just like, "Well, we've got a script, but we don't look at it; just say what you want, and we'll cut around it."
      And what you end up with is 89 unfiltered minutes, where not every joke lands.
