Rachel Getting Married Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

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.

Truly awful

It's difficult to think of any redeeming quality in this film. Bill Irwin puts in a good performance as a man with a crushed spirit; but the remainder of the characters are unbelievable and annoying. If you liked the pretentiousness of Dawson's Creek then you might like this film. For me, if this is an accurate portrayal of an American wedding, then I hope never to go to one.
