Rachel Getting Married

A jittery, Greengrassian camera captures the drama that unfolds when Anne Hathaway, a recovering addict, attends her sister's wedding. The sister's name is Rachel. There are two kinds of scenes: everyday, seemingly improvised scenes that unfold like an exercise in a college drama class trying to mimic the beginning of "The Deer Hunter" (Do we need to see 10 minutes of toasts at a rehearsal dinner? Fans of this film: Yes. Me: No.); and intense melodrama of the "21 Grams" variety. It's too bad because the wildly vacillating content distracts from an otherwise finely acted film. Hathaway almost makes up for her work in "Havoc."
