*// Of bliss and love

Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) 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 are both about to get married, realizing their dreams and about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates, they are now to be married on the same date. Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants; including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamt of for years. Emma, a school teacher who has always been good at taking care of others but, not so much in looking after herself; discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled. Now, the two best friends who do anything for each other find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war. - Abstracted from Yahoo!

Here comes my not-so impress verdict over noticeable, lack of humor chick flick. No wonder weddings are a dreaded event if "Bride Wars" be the case, as there's not much to be laughed about in this mirthless movie about two best friends trying to sabotage each other's matrimonial preparations when their wedding dates were accidentally booked on the same day at their much-sought venue. As if getting past the overly contrived premise isn't enough, the film's lackadaisical direction that centers on the increasingly cartoonish brushes between its shrill and dunderhead protagonists prove too much to salvage for the combined charm of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Instantly turn bitter rivals upon realizing that due to a scheduling foul up, only one of them can proceed. When neither bride-to-be would budge from the fully booked June date, both woman take their insubstantial conflict into a catty fight of who can outmaneuver the other into taking the remaining slot.

From feeding Liv too much fattening indulgences so she can't fit into her Vera Wang dress to sabotaging her hair dye with luminous blue color. From disrupting Emma during a spray-painting to turn her skin into orange to exchanging the dvd for a huge embarassment. Such single-minded skirmish merely reduces its characters into irritating dunces when it's supposed to be the source of humor. Hudson and Hathaway may be charming women but no thanks to a hackneyed script, both actresses were reduce to annoying females in a drab romantic comedy which has an easy resolution obvious at the start, but won't go there before piling up on the slapstick with such airheaded vigor and patching them up with compulsory schmaltz.

Bestfriends turned enemies with a mean streak in a sitcom of two bubble-brained is an absurdly outdated notion. Friendship triumphing over once in a lifetime affair showed not an ounce of intelligence or self-respect. Cause I am a truly believer that I'll want nothing but, the best for my friends and makes my presence felt on their wedding day. The only part I find pretty sweet was when she was proposed with the heartmelting Tiffany & Co ring probably, every girls dream. My face glowed at the sight of the Tiffany-color box. And, as I walked pass the boutique at Takashimaya, I couldn't get my eyes off it till Heartshape had to pull me away and distract my attention. I am just dreaming away but, Bvlgari or Cartier would be fine too. Just kidding lah! Perhaps having it as a theme color will be good enough. My weekends are always reserved to fall back into his arms from dawn to dusk. Most importantly, thank you for accompanying me to a girly kind of movie knowing, I wanted to watch it so bad. *flicks my hair

On an unrelated note but on the topic of bestfriend, you turn a quarter century today. I am glad our friendship made this far and despite getting caught up with our own lives, we still check upon each other once in awhile. I'll never forsake nor trade this affiliation we have for anything in the world cause you were once my life savior. During the roughtest patch of my life, you embraced me when I breakdown in tears like a true friend would. During times when I ran out of my mind, you gave me a tongue-lashing with your straighforward yet, confiding remarks. For that, my gratitude goes to you and the Sengal Clan. As much as you have been there for me, I will always be there for you too. From those club scene addiction to skanking the night away at gigs. From riding aimlessly in our neighbourhood road to void deck bumming. From sharing the same genre of songs to our favorite section at Flash n Splash as Volcom-freaks. That's why, we are bestfriends till now and eternally.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIN.
