Bride Wars Review...

Yes, yes...I saw Bride Wars...and you know what? It was actually better then I thought.

While it looked to me to be a film simply with two characters fighting the whole time, it was actually a sweet story with some very funny lines.

Was it the greatest film I have ever witnessed? No. But I was entertained for the hour and a half length.

Although the title gives it away, the film is about these two life-long friends who have both been dreaming of marriage since childhood. They grow up, each have careers, nice boyfriends, but...still no wedding.

This all changes, however, after Liv (Kate Hudson) finds a Tiffany Box the size of an engagement ring in her closet. This box actually sparks some really funny moments, and I will agree that I loved the proposal scene with Liv and her fiance.

Needless to say, the two girls get engaged, get their dream wedding planner, and think they have scored their perfect wedding locations for their June weddings. But, as movies do need conflicts, the dates for their June weddings have accidentally been scheduled for the same day. One of them will either have to choose a different venue, or a later date.

Chaos emerges as the two fight for that June wedding date.

The film is a sweet little escape, but that's about it. Both Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway are very fun to watch. I especially loved the whole International Butter Club thing..."So, you sit around and eat sticks of butter from other countries?" Haha...wow.

I give the film a 6/10. It is rated PG and runs 89 minutes.

Nights In Rodanthe

Yes, I'm sure you have all heard of the Notebook... yes, I will admit to liking that one. But this one? Well...let's see...

Nights in Rodanthe is again yet another adaptation of one of Nicholas Sparks' sweet romantic stories. And the relationship between the two leads in this one is sweet, but the movie overall isn't the greatest.

The film follows Adrienne (Diane Lane), a now single mother, who loves her children, but is being forced to get back together with her husband. And Dr. Paul (Richard Gere), a father trying to hold onto the relationship with his estranged son (played by James Franco) and also cope with an accident that continues to haunt him. This is actually the reason he ends up at the guest house on the beach that Adrienne just so happens to be watching for a few days for her friend (Viola Davis).

The two leads have a wonderful time in Rodanthe (not surprising since it really is the BEST guest house I have seen in quite sometime). No really, the guest house is AMAZING! I myself cannot wait to check in ;).

Overall it's a sweet movie that will take you away for a few hours. The end was not so great in my opinion, but I'm willing to overlook this just so long as I get some more sweeping shots of the amazing guest house on the beach! =)

I give it a 6/10 for the more then beautiful location.

The film stars Diane Lane, Richard Gere (whom both last worked together in Unfaithful... now there's a great film, and prior to that a little film called The Cotton Club. Remember that one? It had Nicolas Cage in it ;D), James Franco, and Viola Davis.

The films runs 97 minutes.

Happy viewing everyone! =)
