BRIDE WARS erupt when best friends Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson) find out that both their weddings have been accidentally booked on the same day. Both had dreamt of getting married at New York’s Plaza Hotel ever since they were children. Now they can’t attend each other’s wedding.
Neither is willing to change the date and get to the stage when they refuse to talk to each other. As a result, they go to great lengths to sabotage the other’s wedding.
Even the wedding planner Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen) is unable to get the girls to make up.
Even though the general mayhem could so easily have been avoided, the storyline lacks selling power.
A LUKEWARM, badly directed fantasy-comedy, Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler leaves a lot to be desired.
As Skeeter, Sandler is a hotel handyman whose life changes after he becomes babysitter to his niece and nephew. The bedtime stories he tells them begin to magically come true, but it takes him a while to realise that it’s the children who actually dictate the outcome.
Even though Sandler adopts his usual tactics which includes making immature jokes, there’s nothing special about his acting. However, Russell Brand, who plays his dim-witted friend, shows more promise.
