Bride Hard

That's it. I think a.i. Wrote this. This movie can be used at negotiating tables to prove to exects why they need to pay humans to make movies.

No one in real life talks or acts like anyone in this movie. None of the jokes land. The action was pointless. And the final scene made less sense than the title.

The most unfortunate thing is that a lot of the actors are genuinely funny and talented, and they tried REALLY hard to make this even a little entertaining. I think I chuckled once at something that was not supposed to be funny.

I hope all the best for everyone involved honestly cuz this was a waste.

Horrible acting, and even a worse plot. I find her funny in a couple movies but she acts to much the same in all of them and overall its just not funny or entertaining. Turn back the dial a bit and dont be so over the top and it honestly might be a good movie. Maybe im wrong, but I think the ratings speak for themselves. She's good in the right roll, this isn't it. But honestly, im sure its a blast to film and act in. You get to be a agent and jump around and act dumb. He'll id enjoy it too. Add getting paid and its the perfect roll. Its just not great as a viewer. Sorry, not sorry.

So when they said Bridehard and I saw Rebel Wilson on the poster, I was thinking Bridesmaids and pondering if Rebel had the guts to go the distance in comedy.

As it turns out Bridehard was a play on words for meaning Die Hard...At a wedding. Not a bad turnaround for a movie, but it was more funny than it was action-packed.

What sucks about that is that this movie was directed by Simon West. Back in the day, Simon West was a name that met action: Con Air, Tomb Raider, The Mechanic. To have the director's name on this, I wanted to see better than what I got when it comes to action. They could have gotten someone else to point and shoot the camera, and the movie would have been just as good, but having Simon West as a director means this movie could have been better, but it wasn't.

Best to see it for free on a streaming service.

Bride Hard swings for a Die Hard at a wedding, but often misses the mark.

The premise is gold: a former special forces operative, Sam, battling mercenaries at her best friend's nuptials. Yet, this promising setup frequently devolves into a comedic misfire, landing a lukewarm 5.5/10.

Rebel Wilson takes the lead, but the casting feels like a missed opportunity. While she commits, the role perhaps demanded a different blend of action grit and comedic subtlety. The film leans too heavily into broad slapstick, blunting the impact of its genuinely decent action sequences. Moments of cleverness are quickly drowned out by predictable gags, preventing the movie from ever truly soaring.

This felt like a concept with untapped potential. It's watchable, offering fleeting laughs and some competent fight choreography. However, its comedic approach is often clumsy, and the overall execution lacks the sharp precision needed to elevate it beyond a forgettable diversion.

A tighter script and a more refined comedic touch could have turned this into a memorable action-comedy; instead, it's merely a hard try.

This is a mindless comedy that isn't exceptionally funny. The acting is poor, the plot is poor, the jokes are contrived and totally expected. There are no surprises in this movie. The editing and continuity was done by an amateurs as I pointed out in Goofs. If you are a Rebel Wilson fan (which I am), you'll probably see the movie and then wish you'd waited for it to stream. Even then, it will prove to be a waste of 1 hour 45 minutes of your life. Rebel Wilson't stunt double was pretty good, but the director had to make these stunt sequences at a distance or with the face away from the camera. Definitely a low budget film with low budget crew.
