Even the climactic catfight in chiffon doesn't pay off in Bride Wars, a shrill, mechanical comedy dedicated to the proposition that a wedding that doesn't take place at the Plaza Hotel is scarcely worth having at all. As top-billed Kate Hudson takes a producer credit here, she can no longer blame anyone else for poor scripts she accepts with uncanny consistency -- 10 in a row at this point -- whereas co-star Anne Hathaway can chalk it up to a well-accoutered payday. Males will be as scarce as hens' teeth at theaters showing Fox's first 2009 release, but the prospect of watching the two stars shop, plan and then try to undermine each other's weddings guarantees...

When their respective boyfriends propose within days of each other, they go to New York City's most sought-after wedding planner (Candice Bergen) to set their dates.

I watched it just yesterday with my sisters. And usually I'm only able to survive 10 minutes of a chick flick, but I watched this one from beginning till the end and din't even feel sick. Was actually a pretty funny story, kind, good for a family evening.
