Well, two people
who happen to be meant for each other meet on the way to a destination wedding
and fall in love. You know, that thing that never happens ever? Everything that
never happens ever happens in this movie.
You could argue
that’s the point of movies—creating an atmosphere where dreams and wishes come
to life. But I beg to disagree. A little bit of reality helps ground movies and
makes them more fun and entertaining.
The movie itself
wasn’t that funny—it was everything but that. Romance is also something I
wondered about, as its presence was barely noticeable.
The lead male
character, Frank (Keanu Reeves), was rude, annoying, and just not the kind of
person you’d expect anyone to like. The lead female character, Lindsay (Winona
Ryder), was too pushy with him, and I didn’t see why that was allowed to
continue after the two had sex.
The movie seemed
overly excited about the two getting together, so we spend a long time watching
them talk about things you could easily skip through. The director was so
caught up in the idea of his characters discovering themselves that he forgot
we, the audience, couldn’t care less.
This romantic
comedy, as I described above, is about two people, Lindsay and Frank. They’re
invited to the wedding of Frank’s stepbrother, who happens to be Lindsay’s ex
from over five years ago.
The couple meets
at the airport on their way to board a small plane to the wedding location. The
plane seats eight, and from the moment they meet, standing beside each other,
things don’t go well.
They have a
banter at the airport and another on the plane. When they get off, one car is
sent to pick them up and take them to the hotel, where they end up in rooms
next to each other. They’re also seated together at the rehearsal dinner.
The two never
stop going at each other, with Frank being the sort of person you’d bet you’ve
read about somewhere. He probably has some kind of socializing issue, but he
manages to get over that after the two have sex.
What led to the
sexual encounter is the most annoying thing ever, and the act itself was not
fun to watch—it went on for way too long. They kept talking and discussing
things that were just awkward.
In the end, like every romantic movie, they couldn’t do without each other. What a load of crap.
