The Romantics

College friends come together when two of their own are getting married, but the groom may still have a thing for a past love ...I'm kind of impressed that I summarized this movie so easily, I guess that speaks to how complicated this movie was. Starring Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, Adam Brody, and Murphy Brown.

I bought this movie pretty much just because Anna Paquin was in it. My guy really likes her in True Blood, so I figured her presence in this movie would be enough to make him want to watch it. It wasn't. I watched it alone, which I am actually happy about. We don't watch many movies together, and it would have been disappointing to waste the rare one on this silly movie.

After watching, I read a couple reviews, because whenever I think a movie is kind of bad I like to get some back-up. I always think "maybe I missed something, or just didn't get it". I found out that this movie was based on a book, and considering what the reviewer said about the book and how the movie was lacking, I could definitely see how this story could be a good book, but I'm sure a lot was lost in translation. This movie doesn't say much, it doesn't go anywhere, and nothing is solved. I don't know enough about the characters to care much about them, and they act in ways that I would prefer them not to. Plus is has that indie movie feel where some shots are a little fuzzy, and the camera pans instead of moving to the next shot, etc. The music, when there was some, was good though.
