Movie Review – Bride Wars


Synopsis – It’s a movie about two best girl friends growing up side by side with the goal to get married someday at the same place called The Plaza in New York. As they movie goes along, both best friends ended up being rivals towards each other to have the perfect wedding with scenes where both of them coming up with ingenious ideas to sabotage each other’s wedding.

From the movie :

Interpersonal Communication
Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) were VERY good friends, best of best friends. At any stage at all of their lives let it be childhood, adolescence years or adulthood, they were practically there for each other. As things went awry for their relationship, where they became rivals, they were up to the extend of not meeting or talking to each other anymore. At those moments, it was so obvious how both of them were attached to each other and how the absence of the other affected them throughout. As you are comfortable and that close with someone, self disclose tends to make it’s way to the peak. In the movie itself, both Liv and Emma were practically talking about anything on any subjects although their perspective over certain matters are sometimes in conflict. This even proves the point that self disclosures usually occurs in dyads.

Stages of Relational Development
Entering the second halve of the movie, where weddings preparation caused both to be married to couples to run on errands and chores for their big day, problems started to surface for Emma and her fiancé. They started to realize how each other’s decision or views over matters are different, and subsequently, trouble starts brewing for them. They were already at the bonding stage, where they are about to get married and spend the rest of their lives together. Towards the end of the movie, from bonding stage, they plunged straight down towards the bottom, the terminating stage. Their wedding was called off due to a lot of coincidence mishaps, and there and then, both Emma and her fiancé parted ways. It really breaks my heart at this part.


It’s a good movie to watch for the mentioned topics related to our subject human communication, at least in my point of view. Although it might seem to be a girl’s type of movie, guys: there is no harm in watching it, there’s no need to feel squishy or sissy about watching these kind of movies. Perhaps you might learn more about girls?

Cheers.
