MAGNETA LIGHT BLU-RAY RELEASE: Bride Hard (2025)

Simon West directed Con AirThe General’s DaughterLara Croft: Tomb RaiderThe Mechanic and The Expendables 2, so he’s the perfect person to make an action movie. 

You may not expect Rebel Wilson to be in one of those movies.

Here, she plays Sam, a secret agent trying to fix her relationship — and her status as maid of honor — with her friend Betsy (Anna Camp), who has replaced her with her sister Virginia (Anna Chlumsky). Despite her anger, her handler, Nadine (Sherry Cola), tells her to attend the wedding at Betsy’s fiancé, Ryan Caldwell’s (Sam Huntington), family’s lush estate.

Between Sam flirting with best man Chris (Justin Hartley) to the point that it angers Virginia, and an armed attack by criminals led by Kurt (Stephen Dorff) — and helped by Chris — the wedding day is a mess. But it allows Sam to use her special set of skills to, well, kill every one of the bad guys.

Coleen Camp shows up (she also produced) and Wilson has the kind of energy you need for one of these films. Anna Chlumsky, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Gigi Zumbado are the rest of the wedding party who quickly learn from Sam how to be an action star. I’m a sucker for silly action comedies, I guess.
