Overview

• The film follows secret agent Sam, played by Rebel Wilson, who must rescue her best friend’s wedding from a mercenary siege on a private island in Savannah, Georgia.
• Critics condemn the script as mechanical and the direction as lifeless, calling the action-comedy one of the year’s more forgettable releases.
• Reviewers acknowledge Wilson’s physical commitment after five weeks of stunt training but note her lack of action-star precision undermines key fight sequences.
• Wilson sustained a serious nose injury on the final night of filming when a gun accidentally struck her face, requiring plastic surgery to prevent permanent disfigurement.
• Directed by Simon West and rated R for sexual references and some violence, ‘Bride Hard’ opens in theaters on June 20.
