Bride wars & He's just not that into you

Well during a quiet night in with my sister we decided to have a movie fest and watch Bride Wars and He's Just not that into you.
What can i say Bride Wars had me laughing till my sides hurt, such a funny film, and almost choked on my nachos when i saw Bryan Greenberg was in it.
So with a star filled line up, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway,Candice Bergen too name but a few.
I would highly recommend this film, If you have been looked in a cave somewhere and don't know what this is about here's a little synopsis.
Emma and Liv are childhood friends who grew up dreaming of a June wedding at the plaza, when they grow up Liv(Hudson) and Emma(Hathaway) at 26 get engaged within days of each other, and book an appointment with the most notorious wedding planner Marion St Claire(Bergen) so story goes on girls plan their big days only to find out that after a clerical error their weddings are on the same day, and with neither girl willing to give it up the war commences i wont spoil much more for people that haven't seen it all i can say is in between gorgeous Nate(Greenberg), Blue Hair, Tight Vera Wang dresses and fake tan that's as orange as a traffic cone. This film will have you crying with laughter at the sheer ridiculousness of it.
Well worth a watch you wont be disappointed.

So onto my next film He's just not that into you, I personally did not enjoy this film, Whether it was the way the film was hyped up so much by the worlds press that i was disappointed or maybe it was the bad acting and the to-ing and fro-ing from different characters and different story lines, but it made me work hard at trying to keep up with what was going on, and i don't know about you but i like a movie that is easy to watch and doesn't involve you using your brain a lot.
Don't get me wrong there are some funny parts in there one character i did like was Gigi her simpleness and sheer determination to find the right guy was a laugh in itself, but not much else to write home about. With a lot of actors such as Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston(who comes across as a needy person in yet another movie), Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Scarlett Johansson (who yet again comes across as slutty) it really doesn't work, had the writers worked harder on the more interesting characters He's just not that into you could of been a well received film on modern love- without all the unnecessary baggage.
