Bride Hard 2025

Sam (Rebel Wilson) is a highly skilled secret agent working for a spy agency referred to as “5 Eyes.” On the surface, she’s also the maid of honor for her childhood best friend’s upcoming wedding—but her secret life increasingly interferes with her bridal duties. The story opens with Sam serving as the maid of honor for Betsy (Anna Camp). During the bachelorette party in Paris, Sam repeatedly abandons her friends mid-celebration for covert missions. As a result, Betsy rescinds her maid-of-honor privileges, demoting Sam to a bridesmaid—a demotion Sam accepts silently. The wedding proceeds on a secluded estate in Georgia. Tension sets in among the bridesmaids, especially between Sam and Virginia (Anna Chlumsky), a competing bridesmaid who receives the maid-of-honor title. Meanwhile, Sam’s friends remain oblivious to her spy identity. As the ceremony begins, armed mercenaries burst in—led by Stephen Dorff’s villainous antagonist—and take the entire wedding party hostage. In cinematic homage to Die Hard, Sam, who happens to be away from the group at the moment of the attack, becomes the only free operative capable of intervening. Sam transitions from reluctant bridesmaid to action hero, using improvised weapons—like curling irons, champagne bottles, hors d’oeuvres platters, and even chocolate fountains—to incapacitate the violent intruders. She fights room by room, rescuing hostages while ensuring no one discovers her secret. Throughout the chaos, Sam must also navigate emotionally complex territory: rebuilding trust with Betsy, confronting Virginia’s resentment, and reconciling her dual roles as protector and performer of bridal duties. The film attempts to weave themes of female friendship, loyalty, and personal growth into its high‑octane action. In the end, Sam successfully neutralizes the mercenary threat and restores herself in the eyes of her friends—delivering a frantic, campy finale where the wedding is saved, and friendships are tentatively repaired.💰 Box Office Performance As of July 2025, Bride Hard has underperformed significantly at the global box office. Despite a wide theatrical release on June 20, 2025, the film has grossed approximately $932,000 worldwide, falling far short of its estimated $20 million production budget . The film's international earnings are also modest, with notable contributions from regions such as Russia/CIS ($549,165), the United Arab Emirates ($92,599), and South Africa ($62,505) . However, these figures are insufficient to offset the production costs, leading to the film being categorized as a box office flop . In response to its disappointing theatrical performance, Bride Hard was released on digital platforms on July 18, 2025, in an attempt to recoup some of its losses . Despite this, the film's critical reception has been overwhelmingly negative, with a 19% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 15 score on Metacritic. Overall, Bride Hard is considered a significant commercial and critical failure, with its box office earnings falling drastically short of expectations.🧠 Critics Rotten Tomatoes: 19% critics score, 57% audience. Mixed to negative reviews: TheWrap: script vanished & editing chaotic. Associated Press: “much, much worse” than expected. The Guardian: “joyless slog… not worth pointing and laughing”. However, some critics found it a “mediocre yet entertaining” guilty pleasure.🎯 Final Take Bride Hard mashes up Die Hard‑style action with bridal-party chaos. It’s rough around the edges, unevenly comedic, and full of B-movie charm… but if you’re in the mood for a raucous, irreverent romp—especially for Rebel Wilson’s physical antics—it might be a wild ride.
