Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Even Hathaway's remarkable, Oscar-worthy performance can't save it.
Rosemary Dewitt is fantastic.
Rachel Getting Married is a magical wallow in excess, a too-happy, too-sad, too-indulgent plunge into an over-planned wedding.
It's a successful experiment that leaves you with a mix of hope and despair. To the lovers, best wishes. To the lonely, our sympathies.
