juneebuggy Wow for a movie with such a great cast this was super boring. I was actually kinda surprised by how bad it was. I mean I realize its a character study but nothing interesting happens here at all, complete with an unresolved ending. What a waste of talent and my time.The story follows seven close friends who reunite for the seaside wedding of Tom (Josh Duhamel) and Lila (Anna Paquin). Problems arise however when the maid of honour (Katie Holmes) admits to having a fling with the groom and still being in love with him. The love triangle comes to a head the night before the wedding, when the drunken friends frolic in the nearby surf and return to shore... without the groom. 09.13

olivia-gilbert This was such a waste of time. It was the worst movie ever I've seen. It had no story line unless you count some douche-bag groom having an affair the night before his wedding. Oh and outside next to a tree. Random.Look, it had a good cast, I mean Frodo (Elija Wood) was in it, along with Adam Brody (The O.C). But seriously, NOTHING HAPPENED. It didn't even have an ending, it just ended. That really annoyed me. It was trying to be smart and unique and failed miserably.Katie Holmes does not pull off the innocent by-stander. And it had such a slow beginning, actually all of it was slow and dull. Although I think the most ridiculous part of the whole movie was how 2 couples kinda had affairs with each one anothers spouse. And that wasn't even resolved.Ridiculously awful its embarrassing for the actors in it. They could do so much betterDO NOT waste your time

Juhri Shinawatra Seven college friends reunite six years later for the wedding of Lila (Anna Paquin) and Tom (Josh Duhamel). Things go awry when the maid of honor and the bride clash over the groom, with whom the maid of honor was once romantically involved. The story moves slowly trying to explore all the relationships of people in and around the circle of friends. The movie ends with the wedding getting ruined by rain, just before the marriage can be concluded. It is implied that in the end the controlling nature of the bride is too much for the groom and he still loves the bridesmaid.What's going on with this movie? What happen with the casts? Did Holmes Know how to act? I would be very happy to give this movie 0 out of 10 if They hadn't Anna Paquin but yeah, Anna isn't enough. and with the story, suck and lost direction. the script tell us nothing but bla bla bla and bla bla bla.

dkhulegaard Anyone who has ever seen a movie is familiar with the term "low budget." While it's easy to appreciate what a great film maker can do with a low budget, it's frustrating to see what a poor film maker can do with that same budget. The Romantics falls squarely within the latter. This movie is a disaster from the very first frame and never recovers.What went wrong? You could start with the amazingly generic plot. This movie was only Gillian Jacobs stumbling her way through a British accent away from being the same movie as Helena at the Wedding. I have not read the book that this movie was based upon, but I would wager that it's an unfathomable improvement.I could forgive the generic plot, and I could even forgive the stilted acting performance from 90% of the cast, but what really makes this movie an unenjoyable mess is the high school production quality of it. The director chose to shoot by hand rather than use a tripod and as result, each scene is a herky-jerky, poorly framed exercise in abysmal cinematography. In fact, if you suffer from motion-sickness, I guarantee this movie will require you to look away at times. As badly as I wanted to pay attention to the movie, I was continually distracted by this fatal flaw. Low budget or not, the first thing the director should've paid for was a tripod. It would have made more sense than the one lone scene where he called for the use of a crane to get a 15-second overhead shot in a scene that was completely useless in the movie.Lastly, without providing any spoilers for those still brave enough to try this movie, the last five minutes are laughable. The plot comes to a fiery head (finally) within the last five minutes, only for the final shot to cut to black without providing the viewer with any answers. At that point, it's unlikely that you really cared all that much about those answers any way, which is yet another reason why this movie is more of a joke than anything else.This movie would be perfect for a film school instructor trying to teach the do's and don'ts of film making to a young class, but outside of that, watching it would be a complete waste of your time. The only laughs you'll get from it won't be intentional.
