To me, this movie is perfection.
best movie i've ever seen.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
This is a decent movie presented in a unique way and it has some good performances particularly by the stars. It does get a little bit boring sometimes but is worth watching.
I've seen all kinds of rubbish films in my life, and none came close to this. I include goofy comedies, those B trash horror films, YouTube homemade's and everything else in this list. Rachel Getting Married is not just worse, but extremely worse. I strongly recommend everyone to watch this one, as your standards for rating will definitely change. This is a 0/10 film, and the second worst one should be a 5/10. Is such an historic achievement to make a film as bad as this one, that it has a good score amongst critics, in one of those attempts to demonstrate that they are critics because they see what no one else can. Trust me, watch this film. A person who loves cinema cannot go through life without experiencing this masterpiece. Don't be mistaken. To make something like this demands large amounts of efforts, it is humanly impossible to do it by chance.EDIT: IMDB is asking me if this review contain spoilers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... if I had the capability to spoil anything else in this film I would be the greatest film maker ever to exist and wouldn't be writing reviews here.
A young woman (Anne Hathaway) who has been in and out of rehab for the past ten years, returns home for the weekend for her sister's wedding.For the life of me, I have no idea why this film was praised so much and especially the praise for Anne Hathaway. I find her performance to be just "blah" and really nothing special when it is supposed to be an incredible Oscar-worthy portrayal of a recovering addict.What made me most disappointed by the film, though, is just how much filler it has. Scenes run on far too long. Do we need multiple scenes of people dancing at the wedding? How many toasts do we need at the rehearsal? It seems like any attempt to have a plot is drowned out by conversations or events that really do not matter.
There is nothing noble, empowering nor transcendent about watching the drama unfold of a female, American addict. There is nothing complex. If you think the self indulgent, self obsessed, sociopath behavior of a typical American woman who feels she didn't get hugged enough is worth watching a film about, here you go. Having met enough of these type of ladies and believe me, they're everywhere, there is no way I can stomach watching a film where actually one is starring in it. Although, because of their narcissism, this makes perfect sense for these characters. They believe that they are the star of the worlds narrative. People go on about Hathaway's performance. Are you kidding? This is an actress just simply being. Any actor will tell you this. Put this in the pile with 'gangsters,' 'coke dealers,' 'professors,' etc. This isn't a grand look at a tour de force role of anything new. Actors riff stuff like this as a warm up exercise in an acting class. Believe it.To those that this description fits. Know this: It must be great being a young woman in the western world nowadays: More education than young men, complete freedom to have sex whenever you want, huge pool of men to choose from, a whole culture watching after your psychological and physical well-being even if you do mistakes and make wrong life-choices. I would be a huge narcissist too, thinking my life is one big movie starring ME as the main role of this epic, beautiful, emotional and deep minded story, that is also wealthy and romantic. Until you wake up and realize you AGE. You will get older every day. And somewhere around 30 years old, you will realize that everybody ages, work and money and good looking tall men are not everything - and might even be a huge exception. Then you realize having children and having a stable loving family might just be the most important thing after all - because as you age, you will also see that a lot of your feminist "sisters" simply went the comfortable way in the end, just getting a normal man as a husband and father, suddenly don't wanna go out with you anymore, because they have to pay bills and care for their children. At this moment, since you realize that no one is paying attention to your putrid, wreck of a life - you have only two choices left: be nicer and shut up or be alone like a whole list of older, bitter women who have lied to you.
