As much as we may love the comic stylings of Rebel Wilson, the funny gal has graced us with a long string of comedy films that have redefined mediocre. Now add to the list Bride Hard, a strained action-comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 31, 2025

An action-comedy that fails on both genre accounts

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 29, 2025

... the fact that this isn’t going direct-to-streaming is confounding in the extreme.

Full Review | Original Score: 8.5/20 | Jul 28, 2025

All its jokes fail to land and Wilson offers no believability as a secret agent prone to skillful combat leaving us to speak now or forever be subjected to having sat through one of the worst of these secret spy subgenres to date.

Bride Hard has a talented cast and premise that's undermined by an editor let off their leash, and a screenwriter who is mightily passionate about exposition…and only exposition.

Unlike “Die Hard” (1988), “Bride Hard” (2025) is the kind of film that should go straight to streaming, not theaters, so people could enjoy the silliness instead of fretting over the elusive equation of whether it is worth the money

Making her less controlled (and more controlling) could have given “Bride Hard” the edge something like “Bridesmaids” displayed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 30, 2025

Much like a bridal ensemble, this comedy delivers something borrowed and something blue—plus something fabulously funny, which makes it feel like something new.

Is “Bride Hard” a good movie? No. But it’s a Simon West movie — that is, slightly more good than bad.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 29, 2025

They are all trying hard to make this work but it all falls flat.

Full Review | Jun 27, 2025

An action comedy with no thrills, no laughs, and no purpose.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Jun 27, 2025

For an attempt at a slapstick, screwball comedy, Bride Hard is stiff.

Full Review | Jun 23, 2025

Director Simon West will never be mistaken for Spielberg or Scorsese. He’s made only one half-decent movie in his lifetime, “Con Air.” He can only do so much with what he’s been given. His biggest fault is in not picking good source material.

Bride Hard is never funny. That kills the mood faster than a bad toast, but even dead on arrival, this wedding feels like torture.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Jun 23, 2025

As the title suggests, “Bride Hard” tries to mash together the bridesmaid comedy genre with an action thriller, sort of like peanut butter and chocolate but with ice cream and Brussels sprouts.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 23, 2025

A smorgasbord of unconvincing danger and semi-schmaltzy lessons in friendship, “Bride Hard” is rarely as funny as it could be.

Full Review | Jun 23, 2025

[I]t's forcing gags into the story and then hitting the same ones over and over again.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 22, 2025

Bride Hard aims for the goofy joy of a drunken bachelorette party, but is more like the morning-after hangover.

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Jun 21, 2025

It’s difficult to convey the sheer incompetence of 'Bride Hard,' a purported action comedy in which the action is a mess and the comedy lame.... Even the punny title of this laugh-free, chaotically staged misfire is bad.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Jun 21, 2025

Deadlier bad guys in the real "Die Hard" were funnier.
