‘Bride Hard’ Review: Rebel Wilson’s Laugh-Free Action Comedy Is an Invitation You’ll Want to Decline

It's a Simon West-helmed 'Pitch Perfect' reunion, with Wilson playing a secret agent attending the wedding of her childhood best friend (Anna Camp) when it's attacked by gun-toting mercenaries.

So: Oscar winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph deserves much, much better than her minor supporting role in Bride Hard, but she’s respectably game serenading an unborn baby with “My Neck, My Back” or shamelessly flirting with a man of the cloth. The plot (Cece Pleasants and Shaina Steinberg are credited with the script) is most efficiently described as “ Bridesmaids meets Die Hard.” Less economically, it’s about a secret agent named Sam who struggles with work-life balance and a lone-wolf mentality.
