Rachel Getting Married

Over the weekend had the pleasure of seeing a great family drama entitled "Rachel Getting Married". This movie stars Anne Hathaway of princess diaries fame as a young drug addict actress named Kym who returns home from rehab to attend her sister's wedding. Kym is one of those people who is incapable of entering a room unnoticed and in one memorable scene uses her wedding toast as an opportunity to monologue about her time in Rehab. Rachel played Rosemarie Dewitt ( who had a reoccurring role on the best TV show ever MAD MEN.) is incredibly annoyed that her wedding seems to be overshadowed by her crazy sisters arrival. Another memorable character is Abby the mother played by wonderfuly by Debra Winger. She is extremely distant from the family and seems to want to spend as little time as possible at her daughter's wedding. The most memorable scene is the film is a fist fight between Abby and Kym.
However stealing scene after scene is Hathaway as a beautiful, intelligent,flamboyant girl who ruined her life and many others lives at a young age. Her performance switches from hilarious to heartbreaking at the drop of a hat. However we can recognize people we know in her performance and it never feels like a performance. It is reason enogh to see this film.
