Plot Summary - Cute BFF/chick flick comedy about two best gal pals, Emma and Liv (Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson) who have grown-up together dreaming of their perfect June weddings at the Plaza in NYC. When they both get proposed to by their fellows, the gals hit the top wedding planner in New York (played by Candice Bergen) to plan their Plaza weddings. A mess-up causes both women's weddings to be scheduled on the same June Saturday - what to do? The Plaza booked in June for three years, how will the two best friends compromise and both keep their dream alive? Hmm, guess they can't. Neither will budge on the date, so the two become enemy Bridezillas, each trying to sabotage the other one's wedding. Yeah, pretty juvenile, but then this is comedy.
Review - This is a fun film, helped by having two excellent comediennes playing the lead roles - their relationship struck me as very Lucy/Ethel-like, and that I like - right down to the "one of us will have to switch her date", "yes one of us will" sort of chatter like in the Lucy and Ethel wear the same dress "I Love Lucy" episode. Again, like a Lucy episode, there is quite a bit of slapstick and silly antics involved here. The two guys who play the gals fiance's are real duds, luckily they don't get a lot to do in this film. I enjoyed the voice-over narration by Candice Bergen and the on-location filming done in New York City (which I love, love, love from afar). Rating - 8/10 stars
