The Romantics: DVD Review
The Romantics
Rating: M
Released by Universal Home Ent
When a group of several friends and college buddies reunite for a wedding,
you know there's going to be trouble ahead.
Katie Holmes is Laura, a writer who's maid of honour to best friend Lila
(True Blood's Anna Paquin) ahead of her wedding to Tom, played by Josh
Duhamel.
When the gang reunites, it's clear there's still some tension between Laura
and Lila - mainly thanks to her love for Tom - and matters are brought to a head
at a truly awful wedding rehearsal where Laura inadvertently toasts her and Tom
- instead of Lila.
It's clear there's some issues between them all - and they're likely to try
and resolve them this weekend whether they want to or not.
Simmering resentments come to the fore in this but it's a little slow and
plodding to gain and hold your attention; while the cast is an admirable bunch
and a good solid collection of actors, it's very hard to get engrossed in this
gang and their issues.
The main triangle works reasonably well but overall, The Romantics is lacking
a little of the dynamism it needs to propel it over its 95 minutes running
time.
Extras: None
