Family tensions rise to the surface upon Kym’s arrival home from drug rehab, one day before her sister is to be married. Director Jonathan Demme’s tale is shot in a naturalistic style resembling an actual wedding video. Frequent random distractions give the story an unfocused feel. Despite this, the film is full of wonderfully genuine performances. Anne Hathaway got the Oscar nomination and she’s good, but the real revelation here is Rosemarie DeWitt who plays the title character.
