Why no one cared when Rachel got married.

Rachel Getting Married.

There is something very interesting about this movie. It is not the things that the film is known for like Anne Hathaway's dramatic turn or the plot line. In fact these were the details that I found to be the least enjoyable in the film.

Plot-wise in this piece the immediate plot was not the best. I was actually more fascinated by the back stories of most of these characters. Kym in person wasn't interesting until she started opening up about the past. Even then only when all of the components of the families back stories came together (i.e. mom-daughter brawl) was it actually fabulous. Therefore the actual plot points like the strange hook-up/relationship (???) between maid-of-honor and best man. Or the best friend, sister to sister love/friendship triangle. Weird.

Now I do like seeing Anne Hathaway stretching her acting legs and not becoming the stereotypical all-American girl, a la The Princess Diaries. Never-the-less I'm surprised that this was Oscar-nominated because it just didn't have the pizazz to back up all of the hype.

Overall this was more like watching a character sketch or a rough draft to a real movie. Like reading a short story that is in the stages of being expanded to a novel. It seemed incomplete in the plot and development, which lead to the acting to seem out of place, hurting the inter-character relationships and so it goes. . .
