Movie Marathon (26/Jan/09)

Did something on Chinese New Year's day which I've never done before
~ Movie Marathon. Booked tics for "Bride Wars" at 5:10pm,
went down to the cinema at 2.10pm and bought tics on the spot
for "The Wedding Game" at 2.15pm.


I was never a "Fann" fan or "Christopher" fan.
But my sis and I decided to give this movie a try just to see what
the hype was about and also because we don't really wanna watch
the other Singapore Movie (*wink wink* should know which one).
Overall it was quite a light hearted movie with some funny jokes.
Not a must watch but not a bad movie.
Fann Wong had quite a no of pretty outfits and wedding gowns in the movie.
Synopsis:

A glorious, delightful and touching romantic comedy that unveils the truths behind the year’s most anticipated celebrity wedding, THE WEDDING GAME begins when Jack (Christopher Lee) publicly proposes to Vikki (Fann Wong) during the live telecast of a regional awards show. Surprised but happy, Vikki accepts – much to the delight of the public who has been following and rooting for the two superstars’ much publicized romance.

What the public doesn't know is that the entire love affair is an elaborate and meticulously planned ruse designed to further the careers and fortunes of the two ‘lovebirds’ by their ambitious managers May and Tom. In reality, Jack has disliked Vikki from the first day they met and vice versa!

But through it all, the two stars keep up with the charade. Both of them are sure they have nothing to lose – not when they’ve signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect themselves and their fortunes.

Just when everything is going so well, an incident rattled some of the fans and the media. There is doubt now lingering about the authenticity of this love match.

Will they succeed in fooling a nation, and come away richer but not wiser?

Next, was Bride Wars. Watched this because of Anne Hathaway.
Liked her since her "Princess Diary" days and also because me and
my sis kind of liked "Chick Flicks". Overall, it's funny and light-hearted movie.
It makes you think of your best buddies and realise that friends will always be
there for you no matter what the situation may be. And they will be there to
share your ups and downs. Loved the Vera Wang wedding gown that
Kate Hudson wore in the movie!


Synopsis:
Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway), best friends since childhood, are always there for each other, through good times and bad. Even their respective bridal engagements happen within hours. Together they plan their weddings, each to take place at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. But a clerical error and subsequent clash in wedding dates pits the two brides against each other in a competition that quickly escalates into all-out war.





Suddenly realised that both movies sort of have the wedding themes.....
