Critics consensus
Concocted with all the restraint of a mad scientist's experiment, THE BRIDE! lurches in so many different creative directions that the overall effect is both sloppy and inspired.
Audience consensus
THE BRIDE! unapologetically walks down the bloody aisle with style and verve, sparking mixed reactions -- some question its unity, while many more wholeheartedly say “I do” without a prenup.
