BRIDE WARS: Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway play girlhood friends who made a vow to realize their dreams of both getting married at the Plaza.  As adults, they are bubble-brains with vacuous fiancés, and their dialogue is fiercely on-topic, dictated by the needs of the plot, pounding down the home stretch in cliches, obligatory truisms and shrieks.  A sitcom of consumerism. (PG) Two stars – Roger Ebert

GRAN TORINO: Clint Eastwood directs himself as a cantankerous, racist, beer-chugging retired autoworker who keeps his shotgun ready to lock and load. Dirty Harry on a pension, we're thinking, until we realize that only the autoworker retired; Dirty Harry is still on the job. The movie is about his touchy relationship with the Asians next door, during which he discovers his better nature, but not without a lot of growling. Funny at times, violent, and sad. (R) Three and a half stars. — RE
