This just in from Fox…

Two best friends become bitter rivals when their weddings are scheduled on the same day, place and time in the hilarious romantic comedy BRIDE WARS, walking down the aisle on Blu-ray Disc (BD) and DVD April 28 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Oscarâ nominees Kate Hudson* (Fool’s Gold) and Anne Hathaway** (The Devil Wears Prada), the former in her first role as Producer, star as Liv and Emma, lifelong friends who have always done everything together, including planning all the details of their dream weddings at the ultimate bridal destination – The Plaza Hotel.

With each expecting the other to move the date and both brides refusing to change, Liv and Emma’s childhood friendship is put to the ultimate test as they find themselves in a no-holds barred competition for the best wedding. Determined to sabotage the other’s big day, these “Bridezillas” will stop at nothing to live happily ever after… no matter what gets in their way.

Best friends Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson) have always dreamed of being married at the Plaza Hotel in the month of June. Planning on wedding their respective husbands-to-be, everything seems to be going perfectly – the dates are set, their dresses are beautiful and the maids of honor – each other – are as joyful as can be. However, when the pair of friends receives the bad news that their weddings were planned for the same day, the pre-wedding bliss is ruined. With neither willing to give up her dream wedding, Liv and Emma declare themselves to be engaged in the most heated and dangerous kind of war known to man: The Bride Wars.
