The Unlikely Reunion: Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp in ‘Bride Hard’ Meets a Cold Reception
Get ready for a plot twist—Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp, two fan favorites from the Pitch Perfect franchise, are back together! But unfortunately, this reunion has hit a sour note with critics. Their latest flick, Bride Hard, an action-comedy that attempts to channel the explosive spirit of Die Hard, is struggling to make a good impression on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Premise: A Wedding Gone Wrong
In Bride Hard, Wilson plays Sam, a secret agent turned bridesmaid who suddenly finds herself battling mercenaries crashing her best friend Betsy’s (Camp) wedding. Picture chaos, laughs, and maybe even a few heartfelt moments—if only it delivered on any of them.
Directed by Simon West, known for his work on Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and penned by Shaina Steinberg, this movie had the potential to be a fun romp. Instead, it seems to have become a runaway train wreck—complete with a 25% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Critics Weigh In: Ouch!
The initial reception is as dismal as a rainy wedding day. Among 12 collected reviews, only three praise the film, with some daring to give it a B- or even a 3 out of 4. However, the majority are not so kind, with harsh ratings that plummet to the depths of cinematic despair—think 1.5 out of 5 stars and even a daring 0 out of 4.
Ben Sherlock from ScreenRant didn’t mince words, declaring the punchlines “atrocious” and lamenting, “I wouldn’t be surprised if Bride Hard ends up being the worst movie of 2025.” Yikes!
Box Office Struggles Ahead
When your Rotten Tomatoes score reads like a funeral dirge, it certainly raises questions about box office performance. Released alongside two major blockbusters—Pixar’s Elio and a horror sequel titled 28 Years Later—Bride Hard faces an uphill battle just to get ticket sales. With the competition fierce and critics piling on the negativity, it’s hard to see a happy ending for this one.
Looking Forward: Future Projects Shine Bright
But don’t count out Wilson and Camp just yet. Despite Bride Hard taking a hit, both actors have exciting projects on the horizon. Wilson will star alongside Kiefer Sutherland in the upcoming holiday comedy Tinsel Town, while Camp is set to join the ensemble cast of the next installment in the Scream franchise.
So while Bride Hard may not be the triumphant reunion fans were hoping for, there’s plenty to look forward to from these talented stars. Here’s hoping their next projects hit all the right notes!
