Title: Horrible, Horrible film
Review: Run far and fast from this film.I never felt part of this movie, I was only observing "film technique".1) PLEASE stop filming with the bloody hand held camera! It is not a documentary, it's a drama. It only distracts from the narrative.2) The small group dialogues were "actor's improvs". And not very good ones. It felt like watching an acting exercise.3)The wedding music scene that would not end. Ok, the world is full of a plethora of musical styles, but all at one wedding?! This scene went on far too long. And why is Robyn Hitchcock, (90's, quirky, alt. artist) performing at this wedding reception? Ah, friend of Demme's I presume.4)Anne Hathaway may be the, "It Girl", but she is not an actress. "Girl Interrupted" is a much better film dealing with recovery...and Wynona Ryder is much better at portraying the emotional ride.5)*The ONLY positive aspect of the film was the ordinary presentation of an interracial marriage, kudos for that.
