Redundant and unnecessary.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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

Why did I watch this? Why did these otherwise good actors spend time making this movie? What was anybody thinking? No, really, what a previous reviewer said is true. There is no chemistry between anybody: none of the best friends, the bride and groom, or the two people who are supposedly really in love: the groom and his jilted girlfriend/now a bridesmaid. Anna Paquin looks vacant through most of the movie; Katie Holmes acts like she can quite be bothered to actually act her part; Candace Bergen is wasted here (not drunk, but her talent is wasted); in one scene where the camera lingers lovingly on the faces of the proud parents of the groom -- Candace B. and someone I didn't know -- the father looks like someone just poked him and hissed "Here! Smile here." The ending just stinks; it left me asking "What the hell was that?" Otherwise, it's great.

This was actually the worst movie I have ever seen. I am only writing this review to warn anyone else who might think it's a good idea to watch this. It's not. I would have rather spent an hour and forty minutes getting tortured by cannibals than watch this movie. I would rather eat y own body weight in live tarantulas than watch this movie again. If you are looking for a fun night get a bunch of your friends together and start this movie, the last person to want to contemplate suicide rather finish the film wins the game. I guarantee it doesn't last longer than 30 minutes. I am emotionally, physically, and mentally revolted.

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")
