Bride Hard is an upcoming American action comedy film starring Rebel Wilson and directed by Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider). Scheduled for theatrical release on June 20, 2025, the movie fuses over-the-top action with slapstick humor, placing a secret agent-turned-maid-of-honor at the center of a hostage crisis during a luxury destination wedding.
The film is expected to blend lighthearted comedy and stylized violence, with moments reminiscent of Spy, Bridesmaids, and Die Hard. While the film is action-packed, it maintains a tone that is likely geared toward teen and adult audiences rather than younger children.
Age Rating of Bride Hard
While the official MPA rating has not yet been released, based on available details and genre conventions, Bride Hard is most appropriate for viewers ages 14 and up. Parents should be aware of the following content areas:
Violence
The film features frequent action scenes, including fight sequences, gunfire, and physical confrontations between the protagonist and mercenaries.
While violence is stylized and intended to be comedic, it may still be intense for younger viewers. No graphic injury detail or blood is expected, keeping it within the realm of teen-appropriate action.
Language
The film includes some moderate to strong language and comedic insults that are not appropriate for young children. However, the language is expected to fall in line with typical PG-13 action comedies.
Sexual Content
There is no explicit sexual content. At most, the film may contain light innuendo or playful romantic dialogue, keeping things suitable for teen viewers.
Mature Themes
The premise involves a wedding being attacked by armed mercenaries, creating scenes of panic and tension. While this is offset by humor, it introduces themes of danger, deception, and violence in a wedding setting.
Drinking & Substance Use
Characters are shown drinking alcohol in social situations (e.g., wedding receptions), but there is no depiction of drug use or intoxication. This content is minimal and played for laughs.
Is Bride Hard Suitable for Teens?
Ages 10–12: Not recommended. While not graphic, the action sequences, hostage situation, and use of strong language may be too intense and mature for younger tweens. The mix of violence and adult humor skews older than a pre-teen audience.
Ages 13–17: Suitable with caution. Teens aged 14 and up will likely enjoy the film’s mix of comedy and action. Although some language and violence are present, the stylized tone and Rebel Wilson’s comedic performance make it appropriate for older teens who can distinguish between fictional violence and reality.
Parents of younger teens should be aware of the film’s action violence and language before allowing viewing.
