Brides War: Unfaithful to characters

Grossly misinformed in its concept of same-sex battles 'Bride Wars' has no significant male character.
Brides War: Unfaithful to characters
Even before this appalling piece of unfunny satire got released in India this week, an enterprising producer in Bollywood had acquired the rights to remake Bride Wars into Hindi.
What for?! Why would any sane filmmaker want to model his vision on a film that has no content and low intelligence? The two main characters are two girls played by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway who have grown up together and are now warring because their respective weddings fall on the same day and at the same venue.

Well? Are you waiting for the plot to get hot? Wait not. There���s nothing else. That���s it. A one-liner...no, make that half-a-liner of a plot stretched into 90 minutes of unadulterated nonsense in the hope that no one would notice the lack of intelligence under the veneer of urbane glamour projected by the two actresses.
As warring brides-to-be Kate and Anne fight a losing battle. One (Kate) is overweight and rude. The other (Anne) is slim and scheming. Frankly, they deserve each other. We deserve much better.
Not one situation given to them in the script is even remotely amusing. The dips and curve in the plot are so shallow, you want to return to your Archies collection of comics to better understand how two urbane American girls function in their minds. Nothing in Anne or Kate���s behaviour suggests that their characters ever grew up from the childhood where their story started.
The plot remains faithful to the characters. In one word, retarded. In two words, lobotomized.

The film���s clogged glamour clamour is hammered into the narration like florid wall hangings fitted into a room that has neither walls nor space. The storytelling is a classic case of creating clutter in a vacuum. Bride Wars is choked with humid humour. The games of one upmanship that the two ...er, ladies(for the want of a better description) play would shame kindergarten girls fighting over their favourite crayons.
The d��cor and the visuals seem to be painted on with the flamboyant gusto of a kids at a painting exhibition where the theme is , ���Let it all hang out���.
Grossly misinformed in its concept of same-sex battles Bride Wars has no significant male character. The two husbands played by unidentified dumb-blonde types are hapless onlookers as their ladies lunge for each others throat, at times literally.
Oh well, you wince some you lose some.
