Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C-
Source Brief Review Grade*
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Friends become enemies in a chick flick with a mean streak." more... C-
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Here is a sitcom about consumerism, centering on two bubble-brained women and their vacuous fiances, and providing them with not a single line that is smart or witty." more... C  
Chicago Tribune
Matt Pais
"Here's another proposal: No more terrible wedding movies." more... D+
E! Online
Dezhda Gaubert
"Some cute rom-com moments about bridal hysteria die in the face of absurdly outdated notions." more... C-
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
"...pretends to be a satire of wedding mania, but since there's virtually nothing else to the movie, the satire comes depressingly close to endorsement." more... C

Sean O'Connell
"...halfway decent..." more... B-
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
"...exceedingly lame..." more... D  
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
"...a dopey if largely painless romantic comedy..." more... C-
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"As a black comedy, it fails. As a satire of the bloated wedding industry, it fails. As a drama about friendship triumphing over all, it fails." more... D+
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"The first big-studio movie released in 2009 has a damn fine chance of being the worst." more... F  
San Francisco Chronicle
Reyhan Harmanci
"...for all its clunky moments, Bride Wars isn't a complete disaster." more... C  
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"...a girlie romantic comedy with tired slapstick pranks but not an ounce of self-respect or intelligence." more... D  
USA Today
Claudia Puig
"On top of a noticeable lack of humor, it's absurdly sexist and mired in retro stereotypes." more... D
