In a disappointing start, Rebel Wilson’s latest film, ‘Bride Hard,’ has failed to impress audiences and critics alike, bombing at the box office in its US debut.
The action-comedy, which combines elements of ‘Bridesmaids’ and ‘Die Hard,’ has been panned for its clichéd script, poorly choreographed fight scenes, and a lack of chemistry between the characters.
The movie follows Sam (Rebel Wilson), a secret agent and childhood best friend of Betsy (Anna Camp), who attends Betsy’s wedding on a private island estate in Savannah, Georgia, only to find herself entangled in a mercenary attack.
The film also stars Justin Hartley, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Gigi Zumbado.
Director Simon West, known for his work on ‘Con Air,’ has been criticized for his handling of the film, with many calling it a mess of poorly executed action sequences and cringe-worthy one-liners.
Rebel Wilson, who performed her own stunts, has also been faulted for her delivery, which has been described as staccato and lacking in range.
Despite its potential, ‘Bride Hard’ has failed to capitalize on its premise, with the plot being called “razor-thin” and the tension “non-existent.”
The film’s poor reception has left many wondering why actors like Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Justin Hartley agreed to participate in the project.
‘Bride Hard’ is currently in cinemas, but it’s unlikely to garner much attention from audiences or critics.
For those interested in seeing the film, it’s recommended to approach with low expectations.
