DVD Synopsis

Lingering tensions clash with new hopes in director Jonathan Demme's ensemble drama set during an idyllic wedding that threatens to descend into chaos with the appearance of the bride's estranged sister -- a volatile and unpredictable girl whose turbulent history of personal crisis and family conflict quickly threatens to take precedence over the happy ceremony. Rachel Buchman (Rosemarie DeWitt) is about to be married to the love of her life, but while the weather outside may be perfect, there's a storm blowing in. That storm goes by the name Kym (Anne Hathaway). Kym is the family black sheep, and wherever she goes disaster is sure to follow. Now, as friends and family gather together for a memorable day of dining, dancing, and celebration, everyone braces themselves knowing that, at any given moment, old skeletons may be dragged out and dusted off for display by the bombshell who seems to have an acerbic one-liner for every situation, and a flare for drama that could set their family home ablaze. Bill Irwin and Debra Winger co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This movie made me want to run screaming into the street. It droned on and on and on and on and Anne Hathaway was woefully miscast ... it was like being at a real wedding. A wedding full of dysfunction, damaged, and self-absorbed people that you never wanted to spend more than 5 minutes with but were forced to. Wretched film.

Devastatingly brilliant performance from Anne Hathaway. Like The Squid and the Whale, only better. Depressing for most of the film but hope surfaces toward the end of the film.

This was one of the most powerful and painful movies about addiction that I have ever seen. The actors truely put forth outstanding performances. Anne Hathaway deserved her nomination on this one. Just as I was about to write off her character Kim as self absorbed and whinny, her monologue at an AA meeting about what happened to her little brother had me in tears. By the time the character Rachel finally got married I was a puddle of tears, bittersweet tears. Worth a watch!!!
