Hathaway plays ex-drug junkie in new family drama
VENICE (Reuters) - Actress Anne Hathaway takes on an unusually dark role as a former drug addict returning home for her sister's wedding in "Rachel Getting Married", a new film about a dysfunctional family haunted by the death of a child. Tensions explode as family and friends gather under the same roof for a weekend of celebrations, with Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme building up the contrast between the household's painful history and preparations for the happy event.

Life's like a movie - political edition.
"McCain's situation really does mirror Snakes On A Plane," posits David Poland at the Hot Blog, who goes on to present a bizarre and elaborate box office metaphor that I don't buy, but enjoyed anyway: "But then... it turns out that the only movie opening against it is a Denzel Washington movie. Yeah, he's a movie star and everyone seems to love him, but there also seems to be a glass ceiling when it comes to his grosses."

Critics fall hard for ‘Rachel’
Since I saw that smart, snappy trailer, I suspected that “Rachel Getting Married” would find a following.

SHORT TAKE: “Rachel Getting Married” (***)
Some will be drawn to the angst and closeted guilt of Anne Hathaway’s Kym, a portrayal with layers that announces new talent in the starlet.  Others will be delighted and taken by Bill Irwin’s equal doses of authenticity and questionable mugging. Others still might side with the conflicted and forcefully honest sparkplug of the film’s title, conveyed splendidly by Rosemarie DeWitt; or the five or ten minutes Debra Winger gets to step in as an absentee mother before flying off the rails i
