one of films with noble desire to change the rules of romantic drama. and without success in this mission. result - a bizarre story about nothing. and the satisfaction to see a film for yours favorite actors. and nothing else. because it is a film with many good premises but in absence of the courage to work them. because a crisis before wedding is chaotic managed. something missing is the only obvious truth. something significant but , looking to repair it, every chance to save it is lost. dialogues, memories from the past, sentimental dilemmas, crazy scenes. and the bitter atmosphere who use few nuances from Tchekov and absurd theater. "The Romantics" is far to be a bad movie. because it has the virtue to be recreate in the memory by public in a better version. but this is far to be a virtue.

It's a little odd, this movie. Especially the appearance of Lila's little sister. What's the point? Only to ruin Lila's wedding dress? That's all? It's really okay if she doesn't exist, anyway. I really hate her stupid and innocent expression. Makes me wanna punch her in her face. Sorry.And her mother, too? What's so intimidating about her that makes Tom so nervous around her? He is a jerk, for crying out loud! And what's so rich about Lila's family. I didn't see it is being exposed. They're just like any other standard family, to me.If I'm not mistaken. these guys used to be best friends in college. And then they meet again ten years later to attend Lila's wedding with Tom, who accidentally Laura's ex. Well, I have never had a friendship that long of time, but why I didn't see bond between them. Lila looks like an outcast among them. Like nobody really cares about her wedding. And the big question is, why Lila and Laura have to be in love with Tom, who is apparently doubtful, insecure and confused about his own choice. Weak! I hate him.To me, this movie is like another version of Rachel Getting Married or Margo at The Wedding. Not the same, tho. Just the ambiance. But I kinda like the ending. Thank a lot something spared me from being bored to death

Good intentions, tangled script, nice cast and ambiguous characters. A movie like an empty game. Words, half feelings, declarations, levels of love stories and sensitivity in dark nuances. Memories, dialogs, dramas in a colored , shiny package. Empty. Only sawdust and artificial flowers. A kind of Melancholia without genius of van Trier. Tale with lost end , plate with too many dishes and actors like children in tight clothes. Speech about nothing , chain of images and tensions without any target. Exercise of aphasia. In fact, ashes model who must be, in the director vision, human being. The result - a wedding as Damocles sword, a rain, couples without sense, neurosis in huge types and taste of time waste. Nothing more!

Five former college friends travel for the wedding of the wealthy Lila Hayes (Anna Paquin) with Tom McDevon (Josh Duhamel) at her family's beach house. The maid of honor Laura Rosen (Katie Holmes) was the roommate of Lila in the college and the groom Tom was her boyfriend. Laura still misses Tom and the groom is not sure that he shall marry Lila. Along the eve of the wedding day, they have a dinner rehearsal and drink a lot of booze, and Tom and Laura get close to each other and rekindle their love."The Romantics" is a film about reunion and this there have produced solid movies and my favorites are "Peter's Friends" and "St. Elmo's Fire". Unfortunately "The Romantics" is dull, boring, characters with no chemistry and poorly developed in an awful screenplay and story. Summarizing, it is a dreadful film. Laura is a despicable characters and I do not understand why she goes to the wedding to be the maid of honor and spends the night with the groom and vomits her feelings to Lila ten minutes before the wedding. Tom is a weak and uncharismatic character. Candice Bergen seems to be constipated with her grimaces and the sexy Swedish Malin Akerman and her thighs are the best that his film can offer. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "O Casamento do Meu Ex" ("The Marriage of My Ex")
