The film revolves around Rebel Wilson’s Sam, a woman who has had odd and awkward distance with her best friend Betsy (played by Wilson’s Pitch Perfect co-star Anna Camp). Partly this is because they grew apart, and partly, this is because Sam has a secret, she’s really a badass secret agent, and the thing is, no one in her life can know this! Still, despite getting fired as maid of honor, Sam wants Betsy to have a good day and so when mercenaries crash her besties wedding, Sam isn’t just going to stand by!

This is the premise of Bride Hard which made me wonder, what other chaotic comedies might we enjoy if we love this sort of silly? Let’s find out! Also, as one last note, the film doesn’t have a very favorable user rating, but if you go into expecting silly and crazy, well you may enjoy it.
