It was okay. I think some scenes were waaaaaaaaay too long. Anne did a fantastic job though.

I think it's her best performance by far. Whether she deserves the Oscar nomination or not is a another topic.

The extended music scenes and some of the self-indulgent quirkiness were a little hard to sit through but minus that, it was a really well-acted film. Anne
wasn't really a stunning revelation to me, but she did really well and I felt for her character. I really didn't like the whole dish-off scene, it was
really annoying to me until the dad found Ethan's plate, so I guess that was the purpose of it.

I'm watching it right now and so far I'm incredibly bored.

Me either, which bummed me out because I was so looking forward to it. There were parts that I liked, but overall, it went on too long and tried too hard. The
acting was good, at least.

I actually really like this movie. I was kind of surprised, but I was interested the entire time. I loved it.

 I got about as far as you did.

this movie feels like the most pointless movie ever. I mean, they made us watch a (long) scene about people loading the dishwasher?

Because, to me, that would be more exciting than this movie was. When they were giving the toasts at the wedding, I was bored to tears because it was like I was ACTUALLY AT A WEDDING and yet I didn't know the bride or groom. And the dishwasher scene was ridiculously long. After the first two minutes I was like "Okay...this scene *has* to be over now....right???!?" And yet it was only just beginning.... |

Just got this from Netflix and had to search for a post to make sure I wasn't totally missing something. (I mean, besides the last two hours of my life.)
I'm so irritated that I had to sit through that crap that I literally am angry at the movie.  I ended up fwding through a bunch of scenes that would. not. end. I saw
through most of the wedding toasts before I realized I hadn't been that bored since the last time I was actually a guest at a similar event. It was bad
enough that I had to be in the audience for the indulgent "rehearsal" montage of music, but then the toasts too? I needed a drink after
that!
And so, I decided shortly before the end of that scene (like, right after Anne did her monologue) that I wasn't going to sit through any more of those scenes - which meant I fwded through at least three more segments (the dish scene up until Ethan's plate, most of the actual wedding, and then almost the entire reception). Honestly. It was like a documentary. Worse yet, it was like watching home videos of someone's dysfunctional family...the acting was good in parts, but there was so much NOISE in the rest of it that I didn't even care. *sigh* Ok, thanks for the venting session.
