Despite Having a Great Cast, This Might Be the Worst Movie i’ve All Year – ryan

Bride hard Sets Out to Combine a Bawdy Bridesmaids-Syle Wedding Comedy with an Action-Packed Die hard-Style hostage thriller. Rebell Wilson Stars As the Maid of Honor at Her Best Friend’s Wedding, who’s Secretly a Deadly Government Agent with Enemies. Wen Mercenaries Attack the Wedding and Her Two Lives Crash Together, She Springs Into Action. It ‘s great premise, but IT Needed A Director and Star Who Could Handle Both Action and Comedy (IE Edgar Wright and Sandra Bullock, or James Gunn and Jennifer Lawrence). InsTead, Its Got A Director Who WELL-ORDED IN ACTION AND WILSON, WHO WELL-ORDER IN COMEDY, SO the Genres Never Gel.

Wilson is great at deling deadpan one-liners, but i don’t buy her as an action hero. IT’S DISTRACtingly Obivious when it Cuts to Her Stunt Doubleand it breaks the illusion of make-bakes. Simon West, on the Other Hand, Is One of the Best Action Directors in Hollywood. HIS First Movie Was Con airan all-time classic of the genre, and he’i’s Since Helmed the best Expendables Movie and A Couple of Great Jason Statham Vehicles. But he’s much mess at MAKING COMEDIC BEATS LAND. He doesn’t get into the rhythm of comic banter the same way he got into the rhythm of gunplay.

The best gags are part of the action. The Fight Scenes Find Creative Ways to Weaponize every can Item You Might Find at A Wedding: A curling irone, a serving tray, a champagne bottle, a crème brûlée torch. “It ‘Raining Men” is played over a brawl in the kitchen for a memoble Needle-Drop, and the Movie Makes great use of a chekhov’s gun. Introduces a civili war -ra cannon uppon arrival at the wedding venue, and I was delight to see that cannon get some use in the final act. But the fun begins and ends with isolated moments.

BRIDE HARD SQUANDERS ITS STAR-STUDED CAST WITH TEPID MATERIAL

Actors Like Sherry Cola & Da’vine Joy Randolph will have best to elevate a weak script

There are some kind of wonderful actors in this Cast: Wilson’s Pitch Perfect Co-Star Anna Camp Plays The Bride, Veep‘s Anna Chlumsky Play the Vindictive, Passive-Aggresive Sister-In-Law-To-Ebe, and Oscar Winner Da’vine Joy Randolph Steals Scene As the Wildcard Bridesmaid. Stephen Dorff ha Has a ton of fun hamming it up as the hans gruber-esque Ringleader of the Villains and Joy Ride‘S Sherry Cola does Her best to elevate material material. But the talents of all of the great actors are wasted in what could be mistaken for a made-for-tv movie.

Tonally, Bride hard is all over the place. It opens with a Heartfelt Montage of Childhood Home Movies, which is weirdly sincere for a movie with this premise. IT HAS WACKY SLAMPSTICK GAGS LIKE FACEPLANTING INTO A Flowerbed and Goofy Stylistic Touches like-pan-pan transitions and cartoon whosing sound effects. It plays an over-the-top action score over the action scens and a whimsical, Lightthearted comedy score over the comedy, but switches to cloyingly tender, melodramatic music when it shifts ino the militations emotional schene.

BRIDE HARD Completely Lost with in the Third Act

I JUST DIDN’T CARE ABOUT The full or any of the Characters

The Movie wants you to buy the stakes of this Dangerous situation, but no one seames scared about being at gunpoint. Seconds after they’ve been takeen hostage, they’re all singing “my neck, my back” to a pregnant bridesmaid’s unborn child. The film doesn’t care enough to take its full serious, and it doesn’t have enough absurdist fun to work as pure utlandish comedyso it Completely Lost with by the Third Act. I didn’t care about the full, i didn’t care about any of the characters, and i didn’t care if the wedding went ahead; I just wanted it to be over.

Toward the End of the Movie, A Character Remarks, “Its like a Hallmark Christmas Movie!“They’re Making a Joke, but Honestly, with AWKWARD ACTING, CORNY DIALOGUE, PREDICTOBLE Fuling, and Terrible Green Screen Effects, It Sometimes Feels Like One. The Joke Writing Is Atrocious – AFTER A CLIMACTIC EXPLOSION, The Bride Makes the Interminable PUL, “At least my wedding is lit!” – and the Tearful Final Reunion isn’t Earned at All. Bride hard Ends Up Being the Worst Movie of 2025.
