Revenge of the Bridesmaids

I watched the movie last night, and regret wasting an hour and a half of my life on something as horrible as that. P.S: This comes from a girl who loves romance movies and chick flicks.

After an argument with his girlfriend, Tony goes out and has a one night stand with a girl who trough their entire childhood treated Rachel (his girlfriend) like crap. Claiming she got pregnant after the one night stand Tony ends up engaging her. Abigail and Parker, two of Rachel's childhood friends, make plans of revenging Bridezilla for stealing their friend's man and win him back.

I'm not going to spoil the movie, but I have to say that what they do to revenge her is nothing but childish and stupid. And how come they don't blame Tony for what he did? I'd say he's a bigger idiot than Bridezilla! The movie ended up frustrating and irritating me, and is not recommended for anyone to see!

I personally LOVE this movie. Yes, it is an ABC movie, but to the comment above (How ABC movies should have low expectations), please done listen. This movie is funny, sexy, smart, and just a good story. Yes, it is kind of easy to pick up on but that is the beauty of. When I am watching the movie, I love to get sucked and not worry about what is going to happen and more of what IS happening. I just generally enjoyed this movie. I've seen it a million times. I would recommend this to ANYONE who has even a slightest interest in romance, comedies, and romantic comedies. By far my favorite ABC movie besides Snow globe. PLEASE WATCH!

Abigail Scanlon (Raven-Symoné), Parker Wald (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), and Rachel Phipps (Chryssie Whitehead) are lifelong friends. As kids, they were befriended by rich Caitlyn McNabb (Virginia Williams) and her gold-digging mother Olivia (Beth Broderick). Abigail goes on to write a successful book. Parker is a struggling NY actress. Rachel stayed home with longterm boyfriend Tony Penning. Abigail and Parker go home shocked to find Caitlyn's expected groom to be Tony and a humiliated Rachel as her bridesmaid. Olivia is on her fourth marriage. Local cop Henry Kent is taken with Parker. Abigail and Parker vow to sabotage the wedding from the inside.

Despite coming before Bridesmaids, this can't help being overshadowed by its more famous cousin. Raven and JoAnna are functional TV comedic actresses. They should be getting into all kinds of irreverent hijinx but they are often hampered by sad sack Rachel's story. It needs to be more fun than this.

Raven as Abigail Scanlon and Joanna Garcia as Parker Wald return to their hometown and learn that their old friend Rachel has lost her boyfriend to the awful gold-digging and perfect Caitlyn. The two friends decide to go rogue and interrupt the wedding to get the groom back for Rachel. I'm not going to kid you, it's childish and poorly acted. But Raven-Symoné is hilarious. Even the secondary romance, no matter how cute the guy, is pretty lame. ....... Look, I know it's nothing more than a chick flick. But it is entertaining and fun and light-hearted. You'll enjoy it. Why can't Raven-Symone' be my best friend?

I happened to catch this movie a while back and gave it a shot because I like Raven-Symone and Beth Broderick. Of course, with this movie you need to keep in mind that it's an ABC Family original movie, so it'd be silly to have high expectations.

Yes, I noticed a big issue 20 minutes before the characters did, and knew exactly how things would turn out for the bridesmaids halfway through the movie, but I still enjoyed it. No, the movie will probably not wow you. I honestly can't remember laughing a single time throughout (but I think the "Saw" movies are funny, so that probably says something.) The acting was fine, and the plot was just okay, but I did like the Raven and Joanna Garcia dynamic.

In my opinion, it was just a pretty standard ABC Family TV movie. If you enjoy this type, you'll probably like it. If not, you won't.
