Rachel Getting Married

I managed to squeeze in just one more Oscar movie before the actual ceremony started. It's kind of too bad though because out of all the ones I've seen, I would probably put this one near the bottom, if not at the actual bottom.

I really only watched it because of the buzz around Anne Hathaway. For a while there she was the favourite to win the award so I had to see the movie first. She is definitely good in it, but I wouldn't at all say she is my pick for Best Actress. Her performance is definitely the highlight of the movie though.

I simply couldn't get into this movie. Several of the scenes went on for far too long (dishwasher scene, all of the speeches) and nothing that interesting was happening. It really felt like I was just watching a wedding, which I'm sure was the purpose but well, I don't really want to be watching a wedding. The dancing scene at the end seemed to last about 10 minutes as well and again, I just didn't really care.

There were definitely some good scenes and the performances were across the board pretty fantastic. I just wasn't invested in the movie as a whole. I found it a tad dull and didn't really like any of the characters which really made me feel disconnected from all of the events. This is one of those cases where good performances just can't save the overall movie.
