It’s not looking good for “Bride Hard.” Rebel Wilson returns to wedding territory — again — in what sounds like a low-rent mashup of “Bridesmaids” and “Die Hard” (yes, really).
Described as a “high-concept” action-comedy, the movie has Rebel Wilson playing a bridesmaid who just so happens to be a secret agent. When the wedding she’s attending is hijacked by a group of armed terrorists, she springs into action to save the day.
The supporting cast doesn’t seem to be the issue: Anna Chlumsky and Anna Camp are in it, and even Justin Hartley shows up. And yet, the film sits at 15 on Metacritic, and 25% on Rotten Tomatoes. Expect this to show up on numerous “worst of 2025” lists. Razzies are also in its future.
Simon West directed it. Yes, that Simon West — the guy behind “Con Air,” his only good film, “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” and a long string of bad action movies. Fun fact: 25% isn’t even his career low. He’s had films hit zero. A few under 20. The man has range, but the wrong kind.
Edward Berger seems to have settled on what comes next. His Lance Armstrong biopic, starring Austin Butler, is now holding casting calls, with production eyed for January.
