Bride Wars.

One of the joys of being in Rexburg is that there are about five-ish (give or take a few) movie theaters. Well, two of these theaters are the types that show "old" movies for the price of $3 (and by old I mean 'those movies that aren't on video yet but are no longer in the big theaters' -I find it funny though that 'Twilight' is still there -they typically don't stay that long. Anyway).

Tonight my roommates and I did a spur of the moment thing and went and saw "Bride Wars". I had seen the previews and thought it looked funny, so naturally, I was all for it. It's PG. An hour and a half long (but it seriously seems much longer). It's directed by Gary Winick (he directed "13 going on 30", and "Charlotte's Web" and a few others that I've never heard of) and the stars are Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. It's a story of two best friends that become rivals when they schedule their weddings on the same day.

In my opinion, it was hilarious! It was one of those rare movies that has a good moral. And it was PG, so that's a plus. As good as it was, I must warn you: even though it was PG, it had it's share of ...imperfections. There was an entire scene (i.e. a Bachelorette Party) that was so totally unnecessary. There was nothing worldly defined as "bad", but this is just my opinion -it was not needed. But aside from this bad stuff (and that's not to say that I'm excusing it) I still very much liked the movie. This is the kind of movie that you take your best friend to and laugh your head off at the funny parts and sigh at all the fun cheesiness of it!
