Not The Greatest, But Kinda Fun
Vos56 January 2013
I happened to catch this movie a while back and gave it a shot because I like Raven-Symone and Beth Broderick. Of course, with this movie you need to keep in mind that it's an ABC Family original movie, so it'd be silly to have high expectations.

Yes, I noticed a big issue 20 minutes before the characters did, and knew exactly how things would turn out for the bridesmaids halfway through the movie, but I still enjoyed it. No, the movie will probably not wow you. I honestly can't remember laughing a single time throughout (but I think the "Saw" movies are funny, so that probably says something.) The acting was fine, and the plot was just okay, but I did like the Raven and Joanna Garcia dynamic.

In my opinion, it was just a pretty standard ABC Family TV movie. If you enjoy this type, you'll probably like it. If not, you won't.

needs more fun
SnoopyStyle19 August 2017
Abigail Scanlon (Raven-Symoné), Parker Wald (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), and Rachel Phipps (Chryssie Whitehead) are lifelong friends. As kids, they were befriended by rich Caitlyn McNabb (Virginia Williams) and her gold-digging mother Olivia (Beth Broderick). Abigail goes on to write a successful book. Parker is a struggling NY actress. Rachel stayed home with longterm boyfriend Tony Penning. Abigail and Parker go home shocked to find Caitlyn's expected groom to be Tony and a humiliated Rachel as her bridesmaid. Olivia is on her fourth marriage. Local cop Henry Kent is taken with Parker. Abigail and Parker vow to sabotage the wedding from the inside.

Despite coming before Bridesmaids, this can't help being overshadowed by its more famous cousin. Raven and JoAnna are functional TV comedic actresses. They should be getting into all kinds of irreverent hijinx but they are often hampered by sad sack Rachel's story. It needs to be more fun than this.

Raven to the rescue
Prismark1028 April 2015
Revenge of the Bridesmaids is an inoffensive, zippy film with some broad acting and even broader comedy.

Raven plays Abigail Scanlon and Joanna Garcia is Parker Wald who return to their hometown and learn that their old friend has lost her boyfriend to another friend, Caitlin who is also a conniving gold digger pretending to be pregnant in order to marry him.

They go undercover as Caitlin's bridesmaids in order to sabotage the wedding but it goes rather awry. Nevermind that the groom who has left one woman and gone out with her friend comes across as a douche bag.

Raven is energetic with her comedy but its also a bit silly and infantile. As its an ABC family comedy it does lack a satirical edge.

Totally not worth watching!
bergenlive3 September 2012
I watched the movie last night, and regret wasting an hour and a half of my life on something as horrible as that. P.S: This comes from a girl who loves romance movies and chick flicks.

After an argument with his girlfriend, Tony goes out and has a one night stand with a girl who trough their entire childhood treated Rachel (his girlfriend) like crap. Claiming she got pregnant after the one night stand Tony ends up engaging her. Abigail and Parker, two of Rachel's childhood friends, make plans of revenging Bridezilla for stealing their friend's man and win him back.

I'm not going to spoil the movie, but I have to say that what they do to revenge her is nothing but childish and stupid. And how come they don't blame Tony for what he did? I'd say he's a bigger idiot than Bridezilla! The movie ended up frustrating and irritating me, and is not recommended for anyone to see!

Watched this movie all the time when I couldn't find anything interesting on netflix, it's a simple plot, has the same vibe as "hello sister goodbye life"! Another great film btw.

Mediocre Tripe
jperry8718 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Bridesmaid #1 has a fight with her true love, who then sleeps with Bridezilla who then tricks him into thinking she's pregnant so she can marry him and access his millions. Bridesmaids #2 and 3 plot with Bridesmaid #1 to take Bridezilla down and re-unite the oblivious groom with Bridesmaid #1.

It being an ABC Family movie, I had low expectations that were more than aptly met. Unoriginal jokes, plot, and characters. I really would hope that most teenagers are a little smarter than people in Hollywood seem to think. "Romantic comedies" are based around the fact that no one can communicate clearly, and this one is I suppose meant to be fun and nonsensical, but that doesn't make it better by any means. I'm rather saddened that Hollywood has yet again misplaced blame. Yes, Bridezilla was an awfully outrageously crooked person, but I'd say Bridesmaid #1 and the groom should have had the sense to resolve their "one little argument" before the groom goes off and decides he's gonna have a one night stand with someone. If you're in as much love as they repeatedly claim these two are, you'd think they would have a more solid foundation.

Chryssie Whitehead as Bridesmaid #1 is the only good thing about this "movie". I saw her in an episode of In Plain Sight, and she killed all the scenes she was in. She has so much sweetness and expression, she puts the lousy acting abilities of the two top-billing actresses, JoAnna Garcia and the awful Raven-Symone, to shame.

Only see it on TV, if you wanna see it at all.

It'll Do
karen-loethen16 November 2016
Raven as Abigail Scanlon and Joanna Garcia as Parker Wald return to their hometown and learn that their old friend Rachel has lost her boyfriend to the awful gold-digging and perfect Caitlyn. The two friends decide to go rogue and interrupt the wedding to get the groom back for Rachel. I'm not going to kid you, it's childish and poorly acted. But Raven-Symoné is hilarious. Even the secondary romance, no matter how cute the guy, is pretty lame. ....... Look, I know it's nothing more than a chick flick. But it is entertaining and fun and light-hearted. You'll enjoy it. Why can't Raven-Symone' be my best friend?

Very enjoyable

This was a fun family friendly movie that you can watch with your kids. It's a typical Bride/Bridesmaid revenge movie, but they kept it entertaining throughout the entire film.

Music score has ruined this movie.
dkosh-889-80779511 July 2021
I watched about 15 to 20 minutes of this movie and had to turn it off. The music runs the entire way through every scene. This makes it unwatchable. There is no need for this much music in a movie.

This movie is overrated
aishaclarke-2863121 February 2021
I don't know what these girls are taking revenge for. Tony loves Caitlyn, he wouldn't be marrying her if he didn't. You can't steal people away or brainwash them into loving you or whatever. Rachel needs to move on. This just show how ignorant society is. This movie just doesn't make any sense to me. They could of all not talk to Tony and Caitlyn.

This is great!
lwongd19 June 2013
This is a great movie! My youngest (6) and I watch it a lot. It's funny, simple story line, and satisfying.

Two childhood friends make a trip back home and find their third friend lost her love to the fourth of their group. Through hilarious encounters and flubs, they find the truth and turn the tables on the evil not-so-great-friend with an ultimate revenge that encompasses the entire town.

During their escapades, one finds love, one confronts her weight, and other learns to stand up for what's hers.

And one learns...you can't have everything.

My favorite quote: "That b.... That bii.. THAT BIIIIIIIITCH!!!" I can't get it perfect, but it's so funny.

Fun to watch
heartilyinc17 July 2020
A perfect 10 for me. I like this kind of film! What an entertaining movie. It's sweet and funny at the same time. Don't be misled by the cover but this is so worth watching. Friendships of the three and one that is apart make the story enjoyable and romantic. I can watch this with my best friends and recommend it.

GOOD MOVIE CHEMISTRY
nogodnomasters19 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is predictable. The humor is snarky. There are some plot weaknesses. The characters are unrealistic. But it spite of whatever criticism I could come up with, the fact is that it worked well to give us a very enjoyable film. Raven-Symoné and Joanna Garcia-Swisher absolutely shine in this LOL comedy about 3 girls determined to ruin the wedding of their childhood girlfriend Caitlyn McNabb played by Virginia Williams. Caitlyn is getting married to Tony, the former boyfriend of Rachel (Chryssie Whitehead). She claims she is pregnant by him and in this small Louisiana town, that is what they are expected to do. Rachel is still in love with him, and the girls suspect something isn't right.

Some minor sexual references

Perfect
rmw83396 November 2014
I personally LOVE this movie. Yes, it is an ABC movie, but to the comment above (How ABC movies should have low expectations), please done listen. This movie is funny, sexy, smart, and just a good story. Yes, it is kind of easy to pick up on but that is the beauty of. When I am watching the movie, I love to get sucked and not worry about what is going to happen and more of what IS happening. I just generally enjoyed this movie. I've seen it a million times. I would recommend this to ANYONE who has even a slightest interest in romance, comedies, and romantic comedies. By far my favorite ABC movie besides Snow globe. PLEASE WATCH!
