Is the script perfect? No. Is the physical comedy broad? Yes. But beneath the surface, Bride Wars is a cautionary tale. It is a movie that warns us against losing our identities in the pursuit of a fantasy.
Let’s be honest: the spray-tan scene where Liv turns orange is comedy gold. The “Hathaway Hula” dance scene is iconic. The film knows it is absurd. When Candice Bergen (as the wedding planner) deadpans, “I feel a colon blockage coming on,” she is signaling to the audience that we are allowed to laugh at the insanity. bride wars rated
