Overview

• Bride Hard premiered in Los Angeles on June 18 and opened in theaters June 20 with Wilson as a secret agent maid of honor and Camp as her besieged best friend
• Wilson entered “beast mode” with five weeks of fight training and executed many of her own stunts—from curling iron nunchucks to choreographed combat—before recovering from a late-stage on-set facial injury
• Director Simon West applies his action credentials to marry Bridesmaids-style comedy with Die Hard–inspired set pieces in a wedding-goes-wrong scenario
• Early reviews are mixed, with critics applauding the real-life camaraderie of the Pitch Perfect alums and inventive action bits but pointing to an uneven script and underused supporting players
• On the premiere circuit the duo reflected on playful on-set pranks, deepened friendship and the potential for future collaborations beyond this franchise mashup
