Bride Wars 2 (2025)

Sixteen years after their unforgettable battle over the perfect wedding, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson return in Bride Wars 2 (2025), directed by Gary Winick. This time, the rivalry is bigger, bolder, and hilariously more chaotic — because both best friends are pregnant at the same time.

Anne Hathaway reprises her role as Emma, who once fought for her dream wedding day and discovered the true meaning of friendship along the way. Now, she’s navigating motherhood-to-be with her usual mix of warmth, anxiety, and determination. Emma is ready for this next chapter — but nothing can prepare her for the surprises ahead.

Kate Hudson returns as Liv, the glamorous and strong-willed best friend who never backs down from a challenge. With her bold personality and sparkling confidence, Liv is about to face her biggest test yet: balancing her competitive streak with the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy.

When the two discover they’re expecting around the same time, their lives are once again hilariously intertwined. At first, they vow to support each other through every craving, mood swing, and baby shower. But soon, their old rivalry resurfaces — only this time, it’s baby names, nurseries, and delivery dates that spark the competition.

From competing over the trendiest strollers to arguing about who will have the more glamorous baby shower, Emma and Liv prove that pregnancy doesn’t soften their competitive edge — it sharpens it. Their antics spiral into laugh-out-loud chaos, testing their patience, their friendship, and even their partners.

Yet beneath the comedy lies a heartfelt story. Both women must face the fears and insecurities that come with motherhood: the pressure to be perfect, the fear of losing independence, and the uncertainty of raising a child in an ever-changing world. Through laughter and tears, they discover that motherhood, like friendship, is messy, beautiful, and best shared.

Gary Winick’s direction balances outrageous humor with heartfelt emotion, creating a film that’s both hilarious and touching. The chemistry between Hathaway and Hudson shines brighter than ever, reminding audiences why they fell in love with Emma and Liv in the first place.

Bride Wars 2 (2025) is more than a comedy — it’s a celebration of friendship, womanhood, and the chaos of new beginnings. With Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson leading the way, the film promises laughter, heart, and the reminder that even in the fiercest rivalries, love always wins in the end.
