What is Bride Wars about?
Two best friends become rivals when their respective weddings are accidentally booked for the same day.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
Two best friends turn into rivals when their dream weddings clash, leading to raunchy, whimsical chaos.
Crowd-pleasing and feel-good, with big broad humor. A date-night pick at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
