I only have one complaint it's the cost of shipping, would rather have more items shipped together.

Such a great product. I really like how there was three discs included. Whatever system you have, whether it be blu-ray, dvd, or an iPod, you can watch this movie. Plus the movie is so good. Product highly recommended!

It's movies like Bride Wars that make me so happy I was born with a penis. Bride wars is a toothless, vapid comedy that cheapens the institution of marriage by shamelessly pandering to its lowest common denominator. With a voice over from Candice Bergen, we learn that Liv Lerner (Kate Hudson) and Emma Allen (Ann Hathaway) are two life long girlfriends who have fantasized since the age of seven to have June weddings at the Plaza Hotel (hold that thought). Surprise surprise: Now in their twenties, Emma and Liv get engaged at the same time and though they both manage to snare separate dates in June at The Plaza for their respective weddings, through some irreversible glitch, their dates both get switched to the same day.
At first, Liv and Emma are crestfallen over the situation. They try to rectify it, but as the reality sets in that one of them must move their date, the claws begin to unsheathe and Liv and Emma become two of the biggest Bridezilla douche-pies this side of the Bravo Channel. What follows is a rapid devolution of their friendship into a tit for tat rivalry. There's a tanning salon fiasco for Emma and a blue-hair incident for Liv. This is meant to be funny, but it's just tedium. Worse still, the fiances are bit players who don't figure much into the movie's equation at all, and by the end, they become so inessential that they could have been replaced by blow-up dolls.
Bride Wars doesn't know what it wants to be. This is owing to director Gary Winick's shift in tone. The first half is dedicated to the spiteful revenge stunts the girls pull on each other, but the second half becomes a halfhearted focus into each character's relationship with their fiances, plus a sort of ice melting set-up for the ending so we don't hate either of the girls too much by the time the credits roll. I would even forgive the tonal disparity, weak script and blotchy narrative, if it weren't for one egregious, frightfully disturbing theme that I find completely obsolete and not a little offensive. This movie normalizes the fact that girls should have their weddings planned out by the age of seven; regardless of career, hobbies or friends and family that surround her, a woman isn't accomplished until she's walking down the aisle. And when a woman gets engaged, she has license to act rudely, selfishly, and vindictively by simple virtue of that fact. Bride Wars inadvertently makes a great case against any form of marriage, gay or straight.
And the visual ipecac doesn't stop there. The last straw comes during the epilogue, when one final stroke of bathetic manipulation involving a double pregnancy made me realize that Bride Wars is really only good for one thing: stomach pumping.

Liv and Emma are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. Some parts of this movie is funny, but a lot of it was just too contrived. Ti's decent.

It was a good movie. I expected more because most of the cute scenes were shown on the ads for the movie. I will probably watch again in a year or so and it may be better then.
