Being a wedding photographer, I felt a professional obligation to go see that new movie Bride Wars. Thankfully, I was able to drag a few of my girlfriends along (thanks Teresa, Margy and Thuc), so I didn’t have to be a guy going by myself to a chick flick.
I have to admit I enjoyed myself. The movie was humorous and the plot held my attention. Both Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway delivered solid acting performances, convincingly playing the ‘rival bride’ role. Their comical antics and competitive interchanges made the movie enjoyable.
I am often asked whether I have any ‘bridezillas’, and I always say I have fantastic brides and I have never used that term to describe anyone 
. On one occasion, a fellow photographer referred to a mother of the bride as a ‘momzilla’, but hey that was him, not me .
I have to warn potential moviegoers that his movie contains no references to wedding photographers. Sad times. Other than this obvious and crucial omission, I am happy to recommend this movie. If wedding planning has got you a little stressed out, take some time to relax and go see Bride Wars for some comic relief, and realize things could be worse…Ha!
