For you Netflix people (and if you are into screenwriting, I can't imagine why you wouldn't be a Netflix client!), Rachel Getting Married is available as an instant stream.

It's in my queue...

...along with the other 500 movies.

Oy.

Glad to see this movie profiled as I really enjoyed the script as well. I can't think of another character who intentionally/unintentionally terrorized her family like Kym. She's scarier to me than Michael Myers.

Look at this quote I found on Wikipedia regarding this film:

"It was Sidney Lumet himself who approached Demme about his daughter Jenny's script. Demme has commented that he loved Jenny's flagrant disregard for the rules of formula, her lack of concern for making her characters likable in the conventional sense and for what he considered to be her bold approach to truth, pain, and humor."

FLAGRANT DISREGARD FOR THE RULES OF FORMULA.

Fascinating!

Thanks for this post. That was an amazing scene from a movie I would never have watched in a million years.
I know there are a lot of gems hidden out there, but damn it can be painful to find them.

"FLAGRANT DISREGARD FOR THE RULES OF FORMULA."

So that's why I hated this movie with a passion.
