“The Romantics” has a pretty powerful cast which includes Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes, Adam Brody, Elijah Wood, Malin Akerman and Candice Bergen.
Here’s the synopsis from Movie Web:
Laura and Lila were once as close as could be–college roommates at the center of a tight-knit group of friends. But the friendship has wilted a bit. Now, ten years after college, the friends–and the boyfriend they shared–have reunited for Lila’s wedding at her family’s seaside estate in Maine. Laura is reserved, single, and the only Jew in the group, while the bride, Lila, is a WASP-y moneyed golden girl, and the groom, Tom, a swim team star from a working class Catholic background, is a perfect paradox of confidence and confusion. As the wedding draws near and wine flows faster, the disappointments and desires of the reuniting friends come quickly to the surface. A drunken game on the estate’s dock goes awry when the revelers are pulled out to sea by the current. When they swim back to shore, they are short by one—the groom. The search throws the group’s shifting allegiances into relief and results in new betrayals as well as confessions.
Stay tuned for reviews and thoughts on The Romantics as it’s watched for the first time at Sundance. I can’t wait to hear what critics have to say about it.
