‘Bride Hard’ Review: Rebel Wilson Hijacks the Wedding Party in Middle-Grade Action-Comedy
In 'Bride Hard,' a self-destructive spy’s cover is blown when a criminal organization descends on her childhood best friend’s wedding.
However, when bridesmaids Lydia (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) and Zoe (Gigi Zumbado) point out that Sam abandoned them for reasons unknown, Betsy appoints her abrasively high-strung future sister-in-law Virginia (Anna Chlumsky) as her maid of honor replacement. Director Simon West and writers Cece Pleasants and Shaina Steinberg balance their comedically charged, over-the-top action sequences with a handful of poignancy, speaking to the tenuous tether of long-distance adult female friendships. They shrewdly layer in the notion that anyone can be a selfless hero — not solely the tough trained spy, but also tertiary characters like Zoe’s meek husband Dave (Remy Ortiz) and the bride’s war vet father Frank (Michael O’Neill).
