Rachel Getting Married


   This was a great eclectic film. Kim is a recovering drug addict, and gets out of rehab a couple days before the wedding of her sister Rachel. Rachel thinks that Kim gets all the attention even when it is supposed to be Rachel's special time. I liked the music, the writing, the character interactions and the story. Its just one of those films you have to see and not one to talk about unless you've seen it. It was heartfelt and achingly sad in the destruction of the human soul and the disintegrating family over the years. A lot is reconciled by the end of the wedding. What I think is interesting is the friends who tell embarrassing stories about either the bride and groom that shouldn't be shared at all. Don't people have funny stories that don't revolve around breaking the law and sex? I know from personal experience that people actually do this at people's weddings. I think I would have to tell anyone who was doing a speech to not say anything that shouldn't be said in front of respective new family members and already existing family members. This was a very good movie.
