Fool’s Gold (2008)
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey should only make movies together. They have such great chemistry and Fool’s Gold is a great example of that.
From the moment these two hit the screen together it’s magic, but Fool’s Gold is more than just the Kate and Matthew show. It’s a fun movie that has some decent laugh out loud moments with some action added to the mix. It’s far from the perfect movie, but it definitely isn’t as bad as the critics would have you believe.
Bride Wars (2009)
Friend or foe, do not mess with a woman’s wedding because there is nothing more frightening than a pissed off bride. People don’t seem to understand this, but in order for the term Bridezilla to exist, there had to be a reason for it. Bride Wars gives us two examples of that reason.
Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are two of my favorite actresses in the whole world and they were phenomenal in Bride Wars. Their chemistry is fantastic and watching them on the screen, you really believe they’ve been friends since childhood. Even though everything goes horribly awry (which is naturally has to or we wouldn’t have a movie) you can still feel the love between them. Add Candice Bergen to the mix and you have cinematic gold.
I consider Bride Wars to be a love story above all else, but not in the boyfriend/girlfriend sort of way although there are those elements. I see it as a movie about love between best friends and how no matter what happens, the bond in that sort of relationship is forever.
