Why do we continue to buy tickets to see ourselves portayed in the worst stereotypical ways imaginable?
Because you know, women will go and see this. Women are the target audience for this.
Bride Wars will make 70,000,000 at the box office , which will mean that in another year there will be another wanna-be-a-Bride movie that portrays women as shallow and stupid. Salivating over catching a bouquet at a wedding, hyperventilating over the diamond ring in the Tiffany box, and ultimately turning into Bridezilla, and steamrolling anyone who gets in their way. The grooms are interchangeable...sorry men...women don't really care who you are. You're the Ken doll.
I saw last years version of this movie on an airplane. 27 Dresses...a movie that portrayed Katherine Heigl as the perpetual bridesmaid. A slightly nerdy and lonely woman in love with a man who didn't notice her.
Katherine Heigl. Right. So, if Katherine Heigl feels worthless without the ring and the wedding...the rest of us are surely fucked...and I don't mean literally.

Whoa...this movie looks terrible!
Do the two stars get naked? That's the only way I would go. Looks like a chick flick.
I'm a chick, and you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming to see this!
I don't even want to think about those two naked either.
This film should be a hit with Delta Gamma pledges and blue-haired grandmas.
