History Film / BrideWars

''Bride Wars'' is a 2009 film starring Creator/KateHudson and Creator/AnneHathaway. It's about two best friends, Liv (Hudson) and Emma (Hathaway) who had a lifelong dream of having a wedding in June at the Plaza Hotel. However, because of a clerical error by their wedding planner, they ended up having the exact same day. Now they are in the fight for their right to have their dream wedding and their friendship is put up to the test. Probably now best known for film critic Mark Kermode's declaration that he would quit his job if it didn't end up in the ten worst films of the year, since if there were ten movies worse than ''this'', he'd have no desire to stay in the industry. The first (and so far only) movie to come from Hudson's Birdie Productions.

* NiceJobBreakingHero: If only the groomsman had just given Emma the right tape, if only Liv had told him that she meant the tape as an apology...

* NominalHero: Both the leads.
