Sometimes you need more than love...
I watched this film and thought it came across as a bit cliche'd, self important and patronising. The company I was with however, enjoyed it.
I could say that it's the kind of film that people who don't watch many films would like, but then that sentance would come across as cliche'd, self important and patronising.
It deals with some good issues - that love is all you need, but then sometimes love is not enough - and has some credible acting, mainly by 'Rachel', 'Kim' and their father - but the story was nothing new really, and there were some pretty amateurish edits, sound and camera work which in my opinion, didn't add the quirky, raw edge they were probably intended for. The pseudo-bohemian wedding scene tended to linger like a hungover morning fart and spiralled into a self-important pat on the back for the director/costume department.
One thing this movie did show me was the human embodiment of an Ipod, and he was wearing pink sunglasses. -

Family matters
This prodigal daughter movie has done rather poorly at the box office. A pity, because it is a rather good film dealing with the theme of a wayward daughter coping with various personal issues on the occasion of her sister's wedding. To say more would be to introduce spoilers. The acting is impressive from all the principals and Jonathan Demme directs with a sure touch. And a special mention must go to screenwriter Jenny Lumet, who, I imagine, is related to director Sidney Lumet. She has written some great and intelligent dialogue. This is a very American, wealthy, New England family and if you can handle the dynamics peculiar to these american personalities then you are unlikely to be dissappointed by this movie.

Rachel Getting Married
- 19 Jan 2009
The family get-together movie never goes out of style – in fact, if anything, it seems more popular than ever. Last week’s A Christmas Tale gave us a Gallic spin on the usual collection of crazy relatives, resentments and reconciliations; a bit more style, a lot less sentimentality. Mind you, Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married is not your usual Hollywood frock frolic. Kate Hudson is nowhere in sight. Instead we get Anne Hathaway in black eyeliner and a severe bob.
