Bride Hard

I really wanted to like this movie but it is incredibly bad. It feels like a number of comedy skits that aren't very funny thrown together to make a not very funny or coherent film. A bad film at that. The acting is clunky and it just doesn't work. There aren't many films I have walked out of, I usually I'm able to stick it our to the end but this one... NO!. Not the worse film I've ever seen but certainly in the top 3.

I am someone that is very easy to please when it comes to comedy. Give me an Adam Sandler comedy any day of the week, or a cheap made for DVD American Pie clone from the early 2000s, and i will have a fun time. Sadly this movie failed on so many levels...

So yes Rebel Wilson lost a lot of weight and her Pitch Perfect moniker of "Fat Amy" wouldn't really fit these days. That said, casting her in some kind of super spy role just didn't work. Not only her action scenes were done by an obvious stunt double, but i just couldn't take her seriously. If she had played someone who had to end up in a spy role trough some shenanigans and was always messing up yet being lucky trough comedy, then sure, but we meant to think she is an actual CIA agent...

Then the bad guys (lead by Stephen Dorff) decisions makes no sense, they never really appear threatening, and its like the movie can never decide if it want to be a spoof or take itself semi-seriously.

And the continuity errors... oh boy. Just to give you exemples without any spoilers, at one point characters are supose to be wet but dry out in 2 seconds. Another scene there is some kind of tube established who act like a vaccum, but there is something at the other end doing the vaccum part, yet later that thing is remove and the tube is still doing the vaccum part? These "goofs" are insanely obvious and really made me roll my eyes on how amateurish the direction was. Yet Simon West is directing this?

Among the supporting cast you got Anna Camp also from Pitch Perfect, who was probably the "best character" but thats not saying a lot. Da'Vine Joy Randolph plays a morbidly obese woman who for some reason is portrayed as someone who use her body to her advantage?? Even Justin Hartley, who seem to not have aged since Smallville and that i always liked, plays an unbelievable character that i just couldn't take seriously.

Honestly the movie just do not work. Its not a good action movie, its not a good comedy, it mixes the two rather poorly, and even the cast, wich is on paper pretty good, can't manage to bring much to try to save it.

If you want a good Die Hard clone done in the modern era, watch Violent Night. That one mix comedy and action extremely well.

I will go with a 4 out of 10 for Brides Hard. Below Average. I would had maybe consider a 5 if it was not for the (too many) continuity errors.

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.

A Movie who's Producers told 15 mins into filming had to shift from an R, to a PG, for some reason.... At the start Rebel's all head shots, then she just punches people for 90 mins.

1. It is rated R, but they censored "pu**y" eight times.

2. Barely any one dies, after like the first 4, why?

3. We don't care about the bad guys attempted character development at the very end.

4. Her blood+scratches are so inconstant 5. She never uses any guns, because why?

6. Gold bars weigh 30 lbs!

7. The magical suction tube powered by swamp boat Fan?

8. Shooting a cannon BACKWARDS by corking the end (What is this Bugs Bunny?) 9. Her agency is the "5 eyes"???

10. Knock off Awkwafina Impression 11. Discount David Schimmer 12. None of their dressed get torn or dirty!

13. Chris did all this because he wanted to prove his fathers innocence, but.... " did it" 14. Chris approaches 15 guys with guns, firing up into the air and lives 15. Bad guys don't collect the 4 rings immediately because???

16. Accidentally blowing up the house.

As Rebel says "This AB-solutely sucks!"

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.
