finally after a longer than anticipated wait, i was able to watch this movie today. riveting story and direction (from jonathan demme, direction that is, not screenplay). this was one of the most complex, developed family dramas i've seen. watching this family in such despair but in the middle of an equally beautiful ceremony (and demme goes all out, visually and musically in his conception of the wedding) i felt as conflicted as his characters. and there is some neil young magic to boot

I am P911GT10C and I enjoyed this movie.

and I believe I am developing a crush on Anne Hathaway. The fact that she was topless in "Havoc" has absolutely everything to do with it.

I've always liked her, but she's turning out to be a pretty fine actress as well. She was really good in Brokeback.

This was TERRIFIC on all accounts. Equal parts beautiful and crushing, unpredictable and natural. Life in two hours.

The surprise appearance of Unknown Legend brought me to tears after everything leading up to that point.

I saw this in LA about a month ago by myself and loved every minute of it, even if it was kind of a downer movie when I was looking for something a bit more upbeat. I think I saw Happy go lucky the next day but that movie kinda sucked.

I knew she was gonna get somethin for this role.

The Golden Globe nominees for best actress in a drama are Anne Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married"), Angelina Jolie ("Changeling"), Streep ("Doubt"), Kristin Scott Thomas ("I've Loved You So Long") and Kate Winslet ("Revolutionary Road").

AND another one just cause I'm crushin on this chick

Hathaway's career is so damn bizarre.

You go from Rachel Getting Married to... Bride Wars?

Ben Affleck: You're like a child. What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him.

I see that and I raise you one.

Matt Damon: Ah there. Finished. Good Will Hunting by Matt Damon.

Ben Affleck: Hey, uh, you think we could put both our names on there?

Matt Damon: What? You've done nothing but eat Breyers and smoke pot for the last six months.

Ben Affleck: Oh that's ridiculous! C'mon, I helped.

Matt Damon: Oh yeah? Okay, uh, write a line. Just, just right now, just pitch me a line. Right now.

Ben Affleck: Okay (farts). How about that?

Matt Damon: That wasn't a line. You just farted.

Ben Affleck: Is there anymore pot?

I saw this and it was really good. The actual wedding and reception was so cool.

The scene where she talked about her brother at the meeting was pretty devasting.

And Uknown Legend really surprised me.


The only real bad thing about this movie was the excessive dance scenes.

Watched this last night. Very real drama. I felt like I was there for many of the scenes. Exceptionally acted.

I actually really liked those because it showed that Rachel actually got the wedding she wanted ands that her sister could back off and not make it about her for a few hours. Great way to unravel the tension of the first part of the movie.

It might've lightened the tension between the two sisters, but Kym spent the entire dancing sequence looking for her mother and trying to catch here eye.

I just think the scene went on a bit too long, especially with those belly dancers.
