Movie Review - Bride Hard

There were a few double-theater weekends for us over the summer. I've deliberately left out re-releases like Dogma and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. However, there's a couple of movies I haven't reviewed though they are now out of the theaters and on VOD or streaming service. First up is Bride Hard.

PROS
1) I had high hopes since this movie starred Rebel Wilson plus a ton of actors, who I love, in supporting roles. I was expecting a Spy-like caper focused on a maid of honor who happened to be a secret agent. All I can say is the cast did the best they could with the script they were given. They are not to blame.


CONS
1) OMG! Where do I start? The story had so much potential, but the execution was terrible. The script really needed to be refined. With absolutely no foreshadowing, things like the family's distillery and train station (?) were popping out of nowhere.

2) The jokes need to be fine-tuned and wittier, instead of dipping to the lowest common denominator. If I wanted bad jokes, I'd watch Jackass.

3) The editing sucked! Seriously SUCKED! At one point, the best man, who's one of the bad guys, is chasing Rebel and her best friend on hovercrafts. We think, because the editor couldn't make up their mind of who was chasing who and the film kept flipping back and forth with no rhyme or reason.


Overall, I really wanted to love this movie, but I couldn't. In a couple of years, I'll write my own frickin' romcom spy and do it right! Anyway, as much as it pains me, I can only give Bride Hard 2 stars out of 10; both stars are for the cast and crew who really tried hard to make this piece of shit script work.
