Awesome Movie

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

This film is about seven friends' relationships. Actually I watched it for Josh Duhannel but I was bored while watching. I mean, I do not like really also people who watch it, wonders the end of the film. I do not think that everybody like this film and I do not know the reason. Actors and actress are very good but scenario is simple. So film is continuing slowly. The event of the film is unbelievable the challenge between two friends. These friends are jealousy towards each other. In fact, other friends namely except three friends are closing very much. This situation is weird. When a person asks me 'do you like this film?', I answer that this film is neither good nor bad. I did not understand the end of the film and it is nonsense. Nevertheless, the romantics can watch. The best thing in this film is musics, it is quite fine. As well, after watching, I'm very fond of this song 'The bird and The bee'. I suggest this song, at the same time this film mentions about strange relationships between friends. Namely everybody might watch it in free time and a person who does not watch it, does not lose anything.

It seems the negative reviewers here want a romantic comedy or something that is lively. The Romantics is a good ensemble acting piece and taken in that vein is actually involving and convincing.The tale of friends who have known and had relationships which each other since Ivy League days won't be everyone's cup of tea - it's very New England in all respects - but it is a well made and well thought through social comedy that shows its theatrical roots and is in no way bad viewing.Katie Holmes in particular shows some good acting chops and we enjoyed her performance a lot - which we hadn't expected to.All in all, The Romantics is a good set piece with a indie feel to it that should appeal to those who like well-crafted relationship dramas.

Wow, this movie is so superfluously boring. The younger generation and the older generation in this movie are nothing but a bunch of foolish grown-ups with retarded maturity problem. All the people described and acted in this movie got such shallow way of dealing with their emotions, romances, memories, friendship and relationship. It's so unconvincing they were really good friends in college, because they were so pretentious and so phony to each other. I didn't believe that these bunch of so-called good friends would consider their friendship were so true and so important that they would have taken leaves from their jobs and their own daily lives elsewhere and traveled to that particular wedding get-together.This is a very poorly scripted movies. Bad interpretation by the director also further eroded the direction and the tone of the movie, resulted it in a very noisy, absurd, pretentious, shallow, mesh potato-like junk food. None of the characters in this movie, young or old were likable. The younger males and females were all turned into just a bunch of kindergarten or elementary immature and goofy school kids, running around, quarrel, back stabbing, jealous. The ways how they treated their friendship and love were so twisted and phony. This is a very tiresome and boring movie to watch, exactly like rushing in and out of a train station, so crowd, so noisy and everyone is stranger.

this was terrible - a waste of the 45 minutes i was able to whittle it down to.josh duhamel's character is a spineless cad (he leaves katie holmes outside under a tree?! and she's OK with that?!), which highlights the most fatal flaw of this movie, and i think another user's review mentioned it already - you don't feel for any of the characters. the movie tries to make you pity them, how they are lost and torn, and still searching for happiness and drowning their sorrows in alcohol, but you really just end up rolling your eyes.the final blow was the ridiculous, anti-climactic ending. did the weather really save the groom and the maid of honor, or will the wedding be rescheduled? why are they smiling at each other? because they are terrible people? the failure of this movie is not on the heads of the actors. someone did say that anna paquin might have been miscast, but i think adam brody stuck out like a sore thumb to me the most. he sounded like and acted like his TV series character, and seemed like he was still in high school, much less than having graduated 10 years ago.only the soundtrack was good, and although it could have launched this review to 3 stars, it went back down to 2 because of the strange, poorly chosen final track, an upbeat tune that closed out a confusing, muddled tragedy.
