BRIDE WARS is MESSY but a STRONG MESSAGE! (Movie Reaction) 

First week back in Sydney now for Maria and I, but I think maybe we'll have an update for you guys next video - Sam Live channel: ru-vid.com/show-UClLU6EveVOrcfRJKvbINJ9Q Instagrams: @stefanwolf_tmb @samlanemusic Discord server: discord.gg/GgWp3JzVFV

The moment Emma doesn’t hear Liv because she’s listening to music, that hits so much harder if you remember Emma’s comment in the beginning: We don’t run with iPods because they’re for people who can’t be alone with their own thoughts. Liv is running after Emma, shouting her name, but Emma is so upset about their fight she’s trying to drown it all out, unable to cope with her own thoughts.

What I never understood about the plot is that, marion st claire could have just called the other woman that came after them and told the, the assistant made a mistake and her’s was supposed to be the 6th. That could have been such a simple fix, but you know… the movie needed a plot 😂

I loved this movie as a kid. It was so messy and it taught me that love and like are two completely different things and I learned that I'd rather get married with someone I truly love instead of just liking some things about the person I'm going to marry.

Another thing w/ Emma is that she was rlly looking forward to pleasing her mom by wearing her wedding dress. When Emma asks “are you happy?”, Emma’s mom then replies “I’ll be happy even if you get married in a brown paper bag, this is your day.” You can see that Emma has a hint of sadness in her eyes bc even on her wedding day, she was still trying to please someone when in the end, that person (her mom) just wanted her daughter to be happy. Emma’s sentiment was very sweet, but it almost felt like she did it for nothing bc she should have done what she herself wanted for her wedding day and not trying to please someone else. Her mom was very sweet tho! No hate intended to her at all. But you can tell how Emma was in a sense “a people pleaser” like how Liv said earlier in the film

I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid! This, Confessions of a shopaholic, cheaper by the dozen, father of the bride and the devil wears Prada will always be my comfort go to movies!

A double wedding would have been horrible for Emma because she played second to Liv their entire lives. Sad that Emma was going to concede to Liv had Fletcher not spilled the beans.

Around the 44:25 mark, earlier in the movie, when they were jogging together, Liv asks Emma why they can’t have iPods(I think) and listen to music while running and Emma responds by saying something along the lines of “because people who run and listen to music can’t be alone with their own thoughts”. So that scene where Liv is shouting her name is a callback to that moment because Liv knows Emma to be a non-music gal and thinks she’s just blatantly ignoring her, and Emma is listening to music as she runs because she can’t be alone with her thoughts, or at the very least doesn’t wanna think about anything in that moment.

I love this movie even though it can be ridiculous. It really does show how a good relationship can look like. And how a relationship that looks super happy doesn't mean it's meant to be

My dad recently told me about how he proposed to my mum. They were watching a movie on VHS and he paused the movie, turned to my mum and said "do you want to get married?" and my mum said "yes" then they continued to watch the movie. They have been married for 24 years.

I don’t know why there wasn’t a sequel called Baby Wars. That could’ve been hilarious.

the thing you guys said about men in general having a problem with reflecting on their emotions and communicating them is so freaking accurate. it's why I always say that if you have good communication as the foundation of your relationship, you can face anything.

I applaud the "if you're pale be pale"!!!! The unrealistic beauty standards have started to get sort of better but there's still the push to be tan. Like leave my pale-ness alone!

This movie really said "soulmates arent always lovers"

all i know is that their friends would absolutely hate their guts for this, even if they didnt share a date, if it were like a couple of weeks apart. like WHO can afford to be going to two weddings in such close proximity?? buying the clothes, the gifts, all in the Same month? no way

Emma's moms dress is also Vera Wang, they just made it look more vintage.

This movie makes me feel justified in my current plan of dating someone for at least 3 years before proposal, then not having the wedding for at least 8 months. I only want to get married once so I really want to know who I’m tying myself to.

I like how when they were trying to reconnect, they both misunderstood each other by their own ways. Emma with her music and her comment about people running with ipods bc they can't be alone with their thoughts and Liv thinking she intentionally won't listen and turn back for her (bc she knew Emma would never have music so there's no reason for her not to hear her.) And Liv having a literal crisis and Emma misunderstanding that Liv doesn't want to talk to her at all bc of Liv's early reveal of how she deals with people/tasks she doesn't wanna do/talk to that time, by "I have a crisis" statements.

i loved this movie so much as a kid especially how it emphasized friendship and the concept of platonic soulmates; friendship could get so messy between girls while young too, a lot of drama, so seeing the fighting and reconciliation at the end make me feel hopeful, that you can stop and communiciate and try to work things out with someone you care about even when it feels like the end of the world. i also loved the comparison of the two romantic relationships-how it showed how communication and support can vary between couples, and that it is okay to break up after you find out youre not right for each other even if u were together for a long time. they were good messages to hear as a girl and the background wedding theme made everything so pretty and fun; i hold a lot of fond memories of this movie. however, i said this often as a kid and still hold this now: WHY couldnt marion call the venue and switch the dates herself?? she ultimately has final responsibility to honor what they agreed upon and theres nothing stopping her from contacting the venue and quickly fixing her office’s mistake. also, wouldnt the other bride have had her date changed too?? like if she met marion right after livemma and marion offered her the 6th since it was the last date available, and then LATER angela mixed them up when she called the venue and locked them in, then the other bride should have gotten the “something is wrong” call too!! marion is the real villain here 💀 lmao

This is one of my favorites! I love that both Liv and Emma had some personal growth to do and by the end of the movie they helped each other achieve that even though they were fighting. It seemed like the whole wedding fiasco was just the tipping point for underlying issues in their friendship and also just issues within themselves they needed to work out with Liv needing to let loose on her control over things and Emma needing to speak up for herself.

I actually had a friendship like this once. We were so close and told each other our deepest secrets, all that jazz, but then she began doing certain things that were a huge inconvenience to me, and honestly just expected me to deal with it. When I stopped dealing with it and stood up for myself, she threw a huge fit and made herself out as the victim and me as the selfish one. It was really messy and sad and I still think about it to this day lol. Romantic breakups can be hard but this was the hardest 'breakup' I've ever gone through. details are here if you actually wanna know. So basically this happened in highschool. I came out as a lesbian, and this friend, though straight, was supporitve of me. However she had friends that werent. We had a 'tradition' of meeting between certain classes of ours and talking before heading to the next class. We had it timed so that I could still run to my class before being late, since we met right outside of her next class, she never had to worry about being late like I did. And then suddenly these friends of hers began to meet with us in our usual spot to talk. No big deal, right? Well, these friends hated me for being gay so they would literally ignore me. I could say things and they'd exclude me from the conversation. This meant they'd talk until the late bell was nearly about to ring, and then leave to their next class, leaving me and my friend to talk until the late bell rang, which meant my friend would be like a few seconds late, while I had to run to my class and be a few minutes late. Which isn't a good look when your teacher WILL write you up for being late too many times. So, I eventually gave up and just skipped the meeting, walking past them and right to my class so I would stop being late. This, my dudes, is what caused my ex friend to go ballistic, being pissed at me for 'blowing her off'....and it all snowballed from there.

The fact yall was like "it could be a bracelet or a necklace" in that Tiffanys box cracks me up like no other. 😂😂

For centuries, the wedding has always been about the bride and I have always thought that was wrong. There would be no bride without the groom. It is his day too.

I could never finish watching this movie because of secondhand embarrassment but your commentary made it so delightful

Yes, this movie is ridiculous. But this movie is admittedly a guilty pleasure because of the message of true friendship =) I am SO glad that they show platonic relationships is an important thing. I personally feel the critics were too harsh on this film and the message was lost on them, unfortunately.

My husband and I didn’t live together before we got married BUT we are continually checking in with each other and communicating our needs. But it only works if you genuinely try to change your bad habits to allow more comfortable living environment for the other.

You guys should do 27 dresses. That's one of my favorites.

I would love for you two to react to Kate Hudson in Something Borrowed. Y'all's takes are very insightful, and that movie is...insane.

I absolutely forbade my fiancé to propose in front of other people and told him if he did that I will say no 😂 I can't stand being the centre of attention lol

Would love to see a 'Just Like Heaven' (2005) watch-along with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. Ta.

For when you guys we’re talking about how atleast the tan is easy to wash off/fade but the hair color isn’t, from my experience most times fashion/unnatural colors are used, it’s usually temporary or semi permanent so it would prob still be a tad bit hard to remove but most likely just wash out after a few washes or a bleach wash, so she was fine

This movie was really intense when I first watched it way way back. But it kinda illustrates friendship especially female friendships and how there is a lowkey competitiveness involved particularly with how conflict is dealt with - passive aggresiveness. As well as highlighting how emotional connection is mostly the core of female friendships hence the comment of Liv about 'feeling alone' despite her fiancé being there for her. (I hope this makes sense, I'm not particularly good at illustrating a point I apologize 😅) Oooh you have to do 27 dresses and also may I suggest: 13 Going 30, While You Were Sleeping, and You've Got Mail.

So many thoughts. In a really weird way the video (although a super mean thing to plan) kinda saved Emma from what would’ve been a lousy marriage. Fletcher seemed to want someone he could control. Like when he tells Emma post-fight that she can’t be friends with Olivia anymore because she’s a “bad influence.” Did he want to be her husband or her dad? He seemed to like Emma less when she stopped being passive, which is unfortunately a thing people encounter on the road to assertiveness (not that I don’t acknowledge that Emma and Liv were really, really intense throughout the movie). Like I get that no one wants a crazy spring break clip aired out where there are grandparents and ministers, but he also seemed just mad that the video existed in the first place. Everyone has a right to a past (so long as you’re not assaulting/abusing people). Unrelated, degrassi taught me everything my repressed family refused to talk about or at the very least provided a helpful intro, even though 10yo me might’ve been young to start watching circa 2004.

This was pre-parks and rec, that ran from the end of 2009 to the end of 2016. He gained weight right before that role.

First!!! Loving the Wayne's World Hat! Second: does anyone think that the birth of the bridezilla is related to a lot of women being raised to think that the only day they should ever work towards and the most important day is the wedding day? (be nice ... this is more rhetorical/sarcasm lol) and always here for an 80s jam montage lol

Let's be honest, if the brother had no point being hot, they would not have cast a hot guy for the part, it's as simple as that. Of course you called it. As you said, they typecast everybody like crazy here.

With her hair like that and the bangs, Kate Hudson looks exactly like her mom Goldie Hawn in her 90’s movies, you know like The First Wives Club (which is a movie I think you guys should react) or the Out of Towners.

Cheaper by the dozen, bride wars, devil wears Prada, 2 weeks notice, white chicks, step up and the proposal will always be my fave comfort movies 😭

I really like that movie. I love that in the end they say that your one person doesn’t have to be your spouse, it can also be your best friend. I do have such a relationship and I love it. Me and my best friend are best friends for about 25 years and that is great, I love to have her in my life.

I used to watch this movie all the time when I was a kid, mainly cause they used to play it on TV like every other week lol. It never got boring for some reason.

The movie has its flaws, but has also really nice moments. I liked it! Btw, your channel is my favorite when it comes to movie commentaries! Keep up the good work :)

y’all calling him mr hedge fund the whole time 💀😂

And this is why a five minute wedding with a judge or justice official of some kind and a few witnesses with a party afterwards is a much better idea. One of my friends parents got married during their lunch break, no fancy wedding and they're still happy together

I always thought the easiest thing would be to stager the ceremonies and then do a combined reception

Deb was just the worst, but she spoke some truths before the "wedding"😆 had me conflicted

I love this movie so much ♥️ I always cry at the part when they turn back and look at each other before the wedding. I'm so happy you guys reacted to it!

If you haven't seen it yet, pls, react to: The Ugly Truth Life as We Know It My Best Friend's Girl How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days You Again 27 Dresses Letters to Juliet

omg this has been a fav for me since i was younger, no one ever reacts to it but im glad y’all did. it’s kinda silly sometimes but i feel it has a good message lol

When ur too early and there’s no comments to scroll through while watching. Biggest sad ever

Had to actively hold myself back from screaming "yes!" when I got the notification for this one

One tiny defense of U2. What we didn’t know is that Bono psychically knew he needed to write “With or Without You” for the series finale episode of the tv series “The Americans.” In that context, only, is it perfect.

her blue hair looked 'patchy' coz she was getting highlights

Yours, mine, and ours is a great movie to react to as well!!

Them having the baby on march 3, I’m the baby

"I'm in a constant state of decomposition - mentally and physically" I need this on a shirt 😂🤣

Been on a binge watch since I found you guys yesterday and I just have to comment. I know it seems ridiculous to even be thankful for something that SHOULD BE the bare minimum, but I’m so SO grateful for your perspectives. This is like the 7th video I’ve watched since I found you two and it’s insanely refreshing and comforting to see two guys being the literal antithesis of misogyny and toxic masculinity. Also that you constantly call out dangerous and toxic tropes and rhetorics like body shaming, homophobia, stereotypes etc. It shouldn’t be impressive because it should be the norm, but it’s not, so THANK YOU. 💜

This was a blast to watch, I feel like the Other Woman would be a good one to watch next🫧

this movie used to be in constant rotation when I was a kid

This movie is so oddly structured. It has virtually no subplot. There's one running gag (the friend that's annoyed by her husband) and a hint at a romance subplot that can never fully be fleshed out because one of them is engaged to someone else for the majority of the film so the resolution to it is quickly revealed in dialogue in a flash forward, but other than that this movie is only told from the perspective of the two leads, which can work but in this case leaves it feeling oddly hollow and rushed.

You guys are awesome! Thank you for the great content and laughs! Always excited when I get your notifications

Metal Lords is a new movie Netflix. Yall should check it up.

If we can keep on the 00s romcom I suggest the JLo movies Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan! I love when you do these movies, it’s so fun to see new thoughts and reactions!

you guys should watch “13 going on 30”!!! its another classic, super fun actually

I saw this when it came out, I think with my sister and my mom? I never really thought about it again. It's cute! There was a movie called In Her Shoes that I liked but can't remember much other than Cameron Diaz is messy and his sister is a prude. 'The Other Woman'!!!! Ooooooh you should do that

i really agree with what you guys were talking about at the end of the video, it'd be nice to see platonic relationships be the focus for once, especially a queer one also that little bts reference made me giggle because jhope did actually eat butter in the music video lmao

Oh, how I missed your movie's commentaries! I love your funny comments (loved the U2 reference hahaha) and I also love your in-depth comments and in-depth analysis of the story and each character. It's like going to couples therapy, but with your best friend who you love spending time with and who understands you without judging you. I don't know if I expressed myself well, my English is not that good. Anyway, thanks for the laughs and for the advices. Love you guys! 🤗🇨🇱

When these guys upload a video it genuinely makes my day better.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks, I was having a seriously shitty day and this video popping up on my yt made me smile and instantly feel a bit better! Loved this movie as a kid and always love your commentaries!

If only thie movie was more popular we wouldnt have so many bridezilla stories lol

Hope to see your reaction to this movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic”

Paula Abdul did the choreography on one of THE greatest films Coming to America. She's a dance world LEGEND!

YAYYY!!! I just rewatched this movie and I was like: “Movie Budz should totally review this!” It was meant to be~💓🙌🏻

The friend who got married in the beginning and then the woman who got the other June wedding date and didn't want to change it, wrote this movie. Alongside Greg DePaul. Also, the doctor of dance is the friend who got married in the beginnings husband in real life.

this is by far one of my favorite comfort movies, its so much fun i've been watching it since i was like 12 years old and today at 23 i still love and enjoy it just as much

Love you guys, amazing content and commentary! So excited to watch, keep up the wonderful work 😊😊

Boy I sure was not expecting the album art for BTS's Butter to pop up at 34:05 LOL. My world's collided a bit.

Idk how you guys do it but every one of your videos is top teir quality 👌🏽 thanks guys!

This movie makes me be glad that I don't have competitive best friends. Also 8 years engaged?! Woah more power to you. Marriage can take a long time to get everything prepared

Seeing your guys commentary on this makes me want to see how you both would like My Best Friend’s wedding! 😁 one of my fave movies

Love this movie, me and one of my sister's favorites to watch together, so underrated 😂, glad u guys did it, love this video and your channel 💛

I really really think you guys will like Confessions of a Shopaholic and She’s out of my League !!

Monster in Law is hilarious 😂

Please react to "My Best Friend's Wedding", would be so good of a reaction, as the main characters it's so divisive

as always, quality commentary from you guys

This movie was really messy and ridiculous but I still always enjoyed it. It was funny, entertaining and also had a good message about communication and I also liked it wasn't specifically a romantic comedy. The romance was more of a side plot. Kind of gave me Frozen vibes. (Yes I know. Everyone's annoyed with Frozen but hey, I enjoyed that movie lol) I honestly liked this a lot more than Devil Wears Prada. I say this cause I feel like both movies are kind of similar other than both starring Anne Hathaway. Marian St Claire was kind of the Miranda Priestly, characters who want to be the best and kind of a bad love interest. Although the friends in this movie are much better which is one of the reasons why I like it more. There really aren't any hate-able characters in this movie. Sure there are flawed characters but mostly they learned along the way like Liv and Emma and even Fletcher. He realized he and Emma weren't fit anymore even if he was kind of a douche throughout the movie though he did have understandable reasons at times for the way he acted.

We need more media with romantic and platonic loves/soul mates. Love exists in multiple forms, just be communicative and clear on it whenever you can be. Well that and tear down the societal bs that friendships to the opposite/different genders are bad

This is excellent! I had a great time watching this movie with you guys 😊

loved watching this with my mum back in the day haha 😄

This movie is one of my favorites because it was a birthday gift I was like 10 and my grandmother had watchs this movie and bought it for me since my birthday was march 3. Emma and liv were so relatable to me since my best friend and I had been doing the same thing liv and Emma were doing as kid, and it was great to see that some people are forever

Love the reaction! I love this movie because it’s showing that soulmates aren’t solely limited to romantic partners it can be friends. Take Cory and Shawn from BMW they aren’t romantically involved but they are soul mates. I just found your channel so I don’t know if you’ve reacted to it I recommend Overboard which has Kate Hudson’s mom Goldie Hawn in it and has its flaws but it’s a great movie.

I'm just wanted to say that your cabinet's door not being aligned with the extractor hood was driving me crazy as an architect hahahaha. Great reaction!

This is literally one of my favorites!!! I've never clicked on a video faster in my life💛💛

FINALLY! I love this movie and there's not a single reaction to it on RU-vid 😭 I'm so glad right now

I'm still struggling to understand why their having a shared wedding would be so impossible for them

Was that metal moment during the wedding an edit? because it was GLORIOUS!

I’ve never watched this movie but as soon as I saw Bryan Greenberg (the brother) I was like oh so Chris Pratts not gunna work out obviously. Then it was fun to wait and watch you guys realize where they were going with that.

Confessions of a Shopaholic was good too. I used to watch it as a kid so many times

Love this film! I always confuse it with 27 dresses which I definitely think you watch. Great commentary as always

YK, the fact that there were 3 -three, openings at the PLAZA in NY in june (like 3 1/2 mo) away.....you'd think it was 2020.....

Yaaas!! I always enjoy watching this movie. You made my Saturday!
