And I find it interesting that so many people, even A-list reviewers, keep coming back to, "You know, this might have been neat if they'd ended up married to each other."

I was actually sort of shocked when I first saw the trailer because I genuinely thought for the first few minutes that it was going in that direction. But then it became very apparent that no, these people really thought that a movie just about two chicks fighting it out over a wedding location was going to be something people would want to see.

Call me in twenty years when someone remakes this with the ending everybody seems to have wanted in the first place. I might go see it, then.

So this movie would only be worth seeing if the storyline had the two female leads lez out on each other? Because...what's that? A story involving straight people <8-O is just too uninteresting? Ah, I see.

Jesus Christos - the only way to satify a liberal's viewing tastes these days is to have a film feature tri-racial Chicano-African-Hmong bisexual, vegan Green Party immigrant little people who fall in love while working for the Earth Liberation Front...

And then even this movie would get criticized for not featuring a sufficient number of vision-challenged feminist Eskimos!

It never ends...

Just the name, and idea makes me roll my eyes, but the trailer seemed to show everything you'd ever need to see of the movie, too. Also (and if it turns out this is the way the movie ends, that's totally coincidental) but if they're BFF and their weddings are on the same day, wouldn't that suggest a Double Wedding? Problem solved, bad movie avoided.

Now a movie with all the bad behavior and slapstick might have been fun, if say it was memoirs of a wedding planner, and didn't have the friends destroying each other theme.

Ugh, I have to disagree with you on 13 Going On 30. It was a total predictable schlockfest and a complete waste of time. To be fair, I was forced to watch it on a Greyhound bus, so it wasn't exactly optimal viewing conditions. Still, the movie was gawd-awful.

"Bizarrely retrograde" captures Kate Hudson's movies perfectly. You watch them and wonder why anyone in the 21st Century would still make this kind of fluff and why any actress with a desire to do good work would want a part in them.

Why does Hudson still have a career? Almost Famous and Skeleton Key were 8 and 3 years ago, respectively. She has certainly inherited a lot of good will from her mom, but it's time Hollywood cut the daughter loose.

How many movies has Anne Hathaway made that don't feature a wedding? I know that feminists are somewhat enamored with her, but I can't figure out why. The plot of this film sounds so utterly uninteresting and predictable that it's hard to find one reason to actually watch it. Just more women hating on other women and becoming frienemies nonsense.

Kate Hudson won "Best Leading Lady" at the Peoples' Choice Awards this week, thereby establishing her as the reigning actress among America's trailer park residents and People magazine subscribers. Her fans live vicariously through Kate via her Hollywood Royalty status, inspired more by photos of her shopping in Aspen with mom Goldie Hawn than for her "body of work."

She's only done one really decent movie: "Almost Famous," which now seems like a fluke.

...is how it plays as The Ghost of Bad Career Decisions Yet To Come vs. Career-Nearing-Its-Peak. :) Hathaway should regard this movie as a warning and stay as far away from wedding/princess shit henceforth as she possibly can.

...watching two hours of the BW female screenwriters explain exactly what the hell they were thinking doing this--and watching the male screenwriters explain why they hate women so much. Now _that_ would be a movie...

I saw the trailer for this and could not believe its hostile and insulting attitude toward women, as well as its utter contempt for men. What century are we living in again?

In the meantime, this regressive crud is opening at our only movie theater, while relatively interesting movies like Milk and Revolutionary Road never will, because small towns are not target markets.

I used to go to the movies every week, sometimes two or three times a week. No more. I'm not going to waste money on these kinds of intellectual and emotional insults.

I went to see "Marley and Me" and when the trailer for this dreck came on I had to put my headphones on to drown it out. Nuff said.

...it isn't written for mature people; they aren't the crowd who jams the multiplex on opening weekends these days. Rather, it's designed for teens and young adults, specifically the female segment of that demographic -- you know, the ones who bought into all this Disney princess crap in their youth, the ones who buy every magazine with the overrated Jennifer Aniston on the cover. These are the types of bride fantasies they squeal about before they settle into their lives as bon-bon eating receptionists and shopgirls.

I'd love to see some intelligently written romantic comedies out there, films that could stand up against "My Man Godfrey" or "The Awful Truth." I like to think Hollywood can still write them; the question is, does it want to make them? The studios would have to pursue a different demographic, one that would require them to do some different marketing. They may not have the courage to try. It's too bad, because given some inspired material, I hold out hope that Hudson and Hathaway could become our generation's Lombard and Loy.

I recommend Ghost Town as an intelligently written romantic comedy.

Why is it that the climax of so many movies and TV series finales has to be a wedding? Is this really the only interesting life change a woman experiences? (Yes, these women always marry men, but the story is rarely presented as the defining moment in the life of the man.)

This particular movie looks like garbage. I agree with most reviewers that the level of childish mean-spiritedness shown in the characters is presented as natural female emotion, which is insulting and stupid.

Margot at the Wedding, Rachel Getting Married, Sex and the City , blah blah blah. I'm bored. Can I please see a movie where a woman does something interesting ?

You're the target audience. Don't blame us they make this crap. Someone's watching it.
