* TooBleakStoppedCaring: A big reason why the movie was panned is because of how unlikable and petty the two lead characters are and how the story is just about them both being vindictive to one another all because both of their weddings were booked on the same day, which itself is an incredibly ridiculous reason for somebody to turn against another.

The movie does try to portray their conflict as having been building up for years due to Liv's domineering nature and Emma's lack of assertiveness, with the wedding debacle being a catalyst more than anything, but the movie doesn't do much to establish this prior to the inciting incident and so the conflict feels shallow.

"Idiot Plot" is now Flame Bait. Renamed one trope.
Changed line(s) 5,9 (click to see context) from:
* IdiotPlot: The film's main premise, where Liv and Emma's weddings are booked for the same day, requires major leaps in logic to drive a conflict between the two.
** Simply changing the date of one of their weddings is barely even considered by the characters, with both being too stubborn to give up their wedding for the other. And Liv, being a hugely successful lawyer, could have even taken legal action against the company for the trouble caused by the double booking.
** Considering Liv and Emma have spent their entire childhoods creating a shared fairy tale narrative for their weddings, getting married on the same day could have easily been a ''good'' thing with the two having a double wedding. Though neither would get to be the other's Maid Of Honour, as they'd originally planned, they'd both be able to fulfil their lifelong dream together.
*** This part is acknowledged early on; Emma explicitly states that she and Liv have shared everything before now and she wants at least one thing that is just ''hers'', rather than ''theirs''.
