It’s an empty, snarky nothing of a movie that’s so lackadaisical and haphazardly pieced together it made me irrationally angry, and the only antidote to that is laughter.

The end result? Less "Yippee-ki-yay!" and more "Oh, go away."

This fun and laugh-free farrago is a lethal combination of crass comedy and contrived plotting.

Unfortunately, the consistent lack of zing ruining the comedy scenes eventually smothers any lasting interest in Sam’s solo quest, or what will become of the unlikeable Betsy and her equally unappealing entourage.

Rebel Wilson is horribly miscast in a film that tries to be an action and tries to be comedy but somehow fails at both. Bad green screen and a script that becomes unfunny by the credits just finishes it off.

The film's writing lets it down, with first time at the plate Shaina Steinberg's script just not being consistent with its characters or letting them exist for single jokes.

Hell hath no fury like Rebel Wilson armed with a pair of curling irons – but even if you’re enticed by that image, or more broadly by the concept of a blend of spy caper and chick flick, I can’t recommend Bride Hard as a fun night out.

As much as we may love the comic stylings of Rebel Wilson, the funny gal has graced us with a long string of comedy films that have redefined mediocre. Now add to the list Bride Hard, a strained action-comedy.

... the fact that this isn’t going direct-to-streaming is confounding in the extreme.

All its jokes fail to land and Wilson offers no believability as a secret agent prone to skillful combat leaving us to speak now or forever be subjected to having sat through one of the worst of these secret spy subgenres to date.

Bride Hard has a talented cast and premise that's undermined by an editor let off their leash, and a screenwriter who is mightily passionate about exposition…and only exposition.

Unlike “Die Hard” (1988), “Bride Hard” (2025) is the kind of film that should go straight to streaming, not theaters, so people could enjoy the silliness instead of fretting over the elusive equation of whether it is worth the money

Making her less controlled (and more controlling) could have given “Bride Hard” the edge something like “Bridesmaids” displayed.

Much like a bridal ensemble, this comedy delivers something borrowed and something blue—plus something fabulously funny, which makes it feel like something new.

Is “Bride Hard” a good movie? No. But it’s a Simon West movie — that is, slightly more good than bad.
