Rating of 2.5/4 |
Good Direction, Writing and Acting (Especially Anne Hathaway). But the film spends to much time on scenes that do not matter making it very dull and boring. Too Bad. |

This movie was pretty bad. Hathaway was great. But, I felt like I was watching someone else's wedding tapes..someone I didn't know. It was painful for me. Boring! |

Hathaway Rocks It Out |
|
First thing's first. Hathaway was a brilliant recovering drug addict. She is really evolving as an actress. I think this was a great role for her. She shows her versatility and is just amazing. The thing that makes this movie great is the pure realism of it all. In the scene where they are all that the rehearsal dinner I actually had to get up and walk away while Hathaway started giving her speech. Not because it was bad, but because I was so embarrassed for her character. The characters were incredibly realistic. You can almost feel like you know them, or maybe you even know people like them. I was surprised how I was able to stay interested in this movie when it really seemed like it was a home video of a wedding. But the actors embraced their roles so well that I couldn't really take m... |

it drags |
|
it dragged. the story was interesting for a while until it started to get really wacky. these types of movies constantly amaze me. they look like they're shot from a hand held camera, and are really boring. it is also shocking how they manage to get these big actors to do these kind of movies. |

Didn't End Quite as Strongly |
|
It’s definitely refreshing to see Anne Hathaway play a sarcastic and narcissistic character because I’m so used to seeing her as sugary and sweet like in “The Princess Diaries,” “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Ella Enchanted.” Although she’s had her share of darker characters such as in “Havoc,” it’s in this film that she truly shines and showcases her potential as a serious actress capable of carrying roles that have a certain resonance. Although the backdrop of the film is Rosemarie Dewitt’s wedding (as Rachel), the film is really about Hathaway’s inner demons as she tries to recover from addiction to drugs (and negative self-talk regarding herself, the world and the future). I must give kudos to the director (Jonathan Demme) and the writer (Jenny Lumet) for their sublime way of telling th... |

Poor Ethan.... |

Anne Hathaway is certainly one of the most beautiful actresses there is. And, she definitely does this movie justice. It's better than "the Devil Wears Prada," and waaaaaaaaay better than anything else she's ever done. Of course, I've never seen anything else she's done, but still. |
