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.
Someone had the idea for their dream wedding where every race, tradition and religion EVER, plays a part and we get to watch it in minute detail - uh oh though need some kind of plot so throw in a junkie sister and dead brother - voila! If you love listening to wedding speeches this is the movie for you... for the majority of normal people though this is DULL.
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.
