I found watching this movie painful. Not painful in a good way, or painful in a way that brought to mind my own experiences as a father of a family where we had a drug addict. I mean painful in the way of watching paint dry, and not a particularly interesting color of paint.
This movie is like watching the home movies of a group of people that I really. really don't care too much about. It is overlong, overwrought, and dull! Anne Hathaway would shine through a documentary on colonoscopies, so she is definitely not the problem. In fact, I don't know that any one person is the problem, other than a couple of the singers who reminded me of fingernails on a chalkboard.
No, it was the pacing of the movie itself, and the long, long, overlong scenes full of, well, nothing much. The rehearsal dinner, for example. Oh my Lord, how long did that last - 5 hours? And, I have to admit, I am not a fan of hand-held, shaky cam movies. I know to some people they carry a certain cachet of verisimilitude, but to me they convey the message that the producer was too cheap to spring for a steadicam.
All in all, I really did not like this movie, even a little bit.
