That doesn鈥檛 come up right away in 鈥淏ride Hard鈥� but it does give Rebel Wilson an out and a chance to ply her action skills in a middling comedy with 鈥淧itch Perfect鈥� co-star Anna Camp.

Camp plays the bride; Wilson is the one originally slated to be best bestie. When work pulls her away, an obsessive 鈥渙ther鈥� friend (nicely played by Anna Chlumsky) steps in and, um, takes over.

She has the weekend planned down to聽the caprese skewers and doesn鈥檛 really want the O.G. maid of honor to interfere. Unfortunately, there鈥檚 a crime about to go down at the wedding site and Wilson鈥檚 Sam has to make like 鈥淏allerina鈥� and seek and destroy.

While scouting the site (a gorgeous Georgia plantation, complete with distillery) she encounters the problem and then it鈥檚 just a matter of MacGyvering her circumstances.

Wilson gets a chance to unearth laughs but there鈥檚 a lot that director Simon West might have done to maximize his opportunity. A lot of great comedians (and Oscar winner Da鈥橵ine Joy Randolph) are frequently left standing at attention while others shoot, slide and transport gold bars.

Stephen Dorff shows up as the baddie (of course) and gets the Coyote end of the fight with Wilson鈥檚 Road Runner. Justin Hartley is here, too, (presumably as a match for Wilson) but he鈥檚 not mined for much more than abs.

The fun comes when Chlumsky thinks she鈥檚 losing her hold. Every step of the way, she nervously sizes up the situation and makes adjustments. Wilson is more laid back, avoiding obvious laughs to lean into those action moves.

A slip and slide section could have been plumbed for more but that doesn鈥檛 seem to be what Wilson wants. Even some 鈥淧itch Perfect鈥� reminders could have pulled Camp into the game. Instead, she鈥檚 often left at the altar, wringing her bouquet.

Granted, Wilson has morphed as an actress since those early films. But now she doesn鈥檛 openly steal scenes, she waits until they come to her. Making her less controlled (and more controlling) could have given 鈥淏ride Hard鈥� the edge something like 鈥淏ridesmaids鈥� displayed.

Here, it鈥檚 鈥淏etsy鈥檚 Wedding鈥� with a few mercenaries thrown in.
