Bride Hard

From Wedding Bells to Bullet Shells: Rebel Wilson Is Locked, Loaded, and in Lace

Ster-Kinekor presents Bride Hard, exploding onto screens June 20, 2025.

Picture this: a dreamy wedding, white roses everywhere, guests sipping champagne under twinkling fairy lights. Then—BOOM. Gunfire. Screams. Chaos. And in the middle of it all? A bridesmaid in heels, wielding a weapon, flipping a table like she’s been waiting for this moment her whole life.

That’s the wild ride waiting for you in Bride Hard, the outrageous action-comedy that blows the veil off your typical wedding flick. Starring the hilariously fearless Rebel Wilson, it’s a laugh-out-loud, hold-onto-your-veil spectacle that mixes wedding drama with explosive action and razor-sharp comedy.

What’s It All About?

Weddings are stressful, sure—but this one? Next level.

Rebel Wilson plays Sam, a no-nonsense maid of honour who suddenly finds herself in the worst kind of rom-com twist: the bride has been kidnapped, the guests are hostages, and a team of mercenaries is demanding more than just RSVP cards.

But Sam isn’t about to let anyone ruin her best friend’s big day. With stilettos in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other, she turns the tables—one punchline and one perfectly-timed punch at a time.

Think Die Hard (see what they did there?) at a destination wedding, but with more glitter and way better one-liners.

Why You’re Going to Love This Movie

Bride Hard knows exactly what it’s doing. It’s the kind of film that leans all the way into its absurd premise—and makes it work brilliantly.

Here’s why it’s a total must-watch:

Rebel Wilson like you’ve never seen her: a fierce, funny, surprisingly agile action star who can throw a punch and a pun in the same breath.
Stephen Dorff as the perfectly hateable villain—slick, shady, and just asking to be taken down by a woman in a bridesmaid’s dress.
Simon West directing at his explosive best—expect plenty of slow-motion stunts, high-flying chaos, and over-the-top action set pieces.

And the cherry on top? The chaos is set against the ridiculously charming backdrop of a wedding. Cue flying wedding cakes, broken champagne flutes, and a bouquet used as a booby trap.

Why This One Belongs on the Big Screen

Bride Hard is made for the cinema. The kind of flick where you laugh out loud with a full crowd, flinch at every explosion, and maybe—even just maybe—cheer when the villain gets clobbered by a flying chair.

From the sound design that’ll make every crash and bang hit harder, to the larger-than-life action that begs to be seen in surround sound and high definition, this is pure popcorn-fuelled joy. And honestly? It’s best enjoyed with your favourite people.
