At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates--they're now to be married on the same date!--Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled. Now, the two best friends who'd do anything for each other find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war. .

es perversa... pero me la repetiriÂa un domingo a las 5pm "La hora mortal del fin de semana!!"
LOL. It was so epically miserable and yet so stupid it made me giggle at times.
Saw it wiith Jacki at her house ...do best friends really do that ...No !!!
It was funny at times
I would rather have a spoon shoved up my ass while I listen to the Jonas Brothers than have to sit through this crap again. Not even Anne Hathaway on a stripper pole can get me to come back. One Half Ball Point Pen. So says the Geek!
It's pretty comical to read comments about how this movie fails as a dark comedy when it's pretty much as bright as can be.
i enjoyed it, it really cute and had it share of funny moments, the ending was cute too.
Critic Reviews
Bride Wars makes Sex and the City seem like Jane Austen.full review
No cues are needed to understand the plot, which feels computer-generated and barely serves to sustain an hour and a half running time.full review
Even if you can get past the boneheaded premise, the picture feels halfhearted in its construction.full review
It's apathy incarnate. It's the Bride of Floppenstein, a C-minus, a soggy, sad thing floating in a lukewarm limbo of sentimental mediocrity.full review
Setting feminism back at least a century, embarrassing a potential Oscar nominee and insulting the very idea of romance, Bride Wars is every bit as awful as it sounds.full review
With artifice as layered as the tiers of a marzipan cake, this resembles nothing so much as a stale Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedy: you know that eventually the combatants will recognize they love each other the most.full review
It's a chick flick; nothing wrong with that. But it's also a chick flick that makes its chick characters -- and by extension its chick audience -- look like hateful, backward toddlers, and there is something wrong with that.full review
Some of this might have passed for uproarious in a TV sitcom, although probably in an earlier decade than the one in which we're dozing through this movie.full review
Even if the slapstick were brilliantly choreographed, the movie's view of marriage, women and, for that matter, men would probably sink it to oblivion.full review
Mere months ago, Anne Hathaway participated in Rachel Getting Married, a film brimming with life. Now here she is in a film with virtually no life at all.full review
