Description

Over the course of one raucous night at a seaside wedding, seven close friends—all members of an eclectic college clique—assemble to watch two of their own tie the knot. Laura (Katie Holmes), maid of honor and Lila (Anna Paquin), the golden-girl-bride, have long rivaled over the groom, Tom (Josh Duhamel). Friendships and alliances are tested, and 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. Based on the heralded novel by producer/novelist/director Galt Niederhoffer, THE ROMANTICS is a Zeitgeist love story and generational comedy that breathes new life into the genre, and recaptures the camaraderie of youth.

    I was really excited for this movie- it looks so good, and I love katie and josh. As it went on, it was a really good story with A LOT of potential. But the ending was horrible, and I feel like they didn't resolve a single thing. Almost as if the last few pages of the script were thrown out and we didn't get the full story. Very Frustrating!

  • Fantastic

    I don't understand how this movie was a miss for people...this was the most real, complex, and interesting plot lines I've watched in a while. I adored it. Five stars for me!!

    It just ended. No closure on anything. The only good thing was that Josh was in this movie.

  • Absolutely terrible

    Don't waste your time. I never write reviews, but I was so disappointed by this movie I couldn't resist. The plot is terrible and the acting is even worse. I only watched the last 45 minutes to see how it would end, and there was no ending. This must be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

    Why is this not for rent? In general you would want to see a movie before you buy it just in case...you know you don't like it.

  • Soundtrack

    I saw this movie the day it came out at a matinee, and was in the middle of bashing the film at the end when the director and actors walked in for a surprise Q&A... oops! The acting in this movie was generally good, and I have to say I thought the actors did a reasonable job with the lines they were given. That being said, I thought the story line was completely random and strange. Even hearing the director explain what she was going for in person couldn't help this train wreck of a story.

    i actually really liked the movie. i watched it twice in a row. the only person i didnt like was "lila" anna's character. she was lifeless. was the acting the best? not at all. but i like the script. i liked the lines. especially between 'tom" and 'Laura". i thought thier delivery was on point the majority was on point. I do agree with everyone the soundtrack is amazing. I also though "tripp" was a great character who brought some life into seeminl dull moments.

  • some good points

    The best thing about this movie was the incomprehensible casting of Anna Paquin. She was supposed to be the "it" girl who makes everyone jealous, and it's difficult to buy her in this part. She was not-quite-beautiful and very mean. At the same time, her strangeness made me want to keep watching, wondering what was underneath her cold facade. Other than that, the movie was a mess.
