‘Bride Wars’ Has One Good Line

This cliched comedy “Bride Wars” tosses out stereotypes about female materialism and cattiness with all the giddy gusto of a newly married woman flinging the bouquet at her single girlfriends. It’s amazing that two of the film’s three writers are women: Casey Wilson of “Saturday Night Live” and June Diane Raphael (the third, Greg DePaul, also gets a story-by credit). But what’s just as baffling is the way in which director Gary Winick – who brought the radiant best out of Jennifer Garner in the 2004 charmer “13 Going on 30” – manages to squander the appealing screen presence of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway/AP. More here.

Question: What's the last "chick flick" that you've seen?
