Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway try hard, but shallow writing and lifeless direction fail to capitalise on them, either for romance or comedy. Gary Winick's 'Bride Wars' is not terrible - it is plain mediocre and that's it biggest flaw. It's silly and perhaps that's why it's enjoyable enough to keep you on your seat until the very end, but it vanishes from you're mind as as soon as it stops.
