Rachel Getting Married Starts Friday 1/30!

Tomorrow 1/30 at 7:00 PM Rachel Getting Married starts its run at The State. The film stars Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt & Bill Irwin and is directed by Oscar Winner (Best Director: Silence of the Lambs) Jonathan Demme. Below you can find the trailer and plot summary:


After an extended stint in rehab following a major family catastrophe, Kym (Hathaway) returns to her picture-perfect Connecticut hometown to attend the elaborate wedding of her older sister Rachel (played with considerable spark by Rosemarie DeWitt). Kym's arrival causes long-festering hurts to resurface, and the Buchmans' family unity is soon hanging by a thread. Issues of trust and reconciliation flow through the film, leading to discord between parents and their children, as well as among siblings and family friends, even as they all struggle to maintain a ceasefire during Rachel's nuptials. While Kym is offended by her sister's seeming ability to live a faultless existence, the rest of their family and friends resent Kym's penchant for self-serving theatrics and darkly comic one-liners [spout].

Rachel Getting Married has been showered with glowing reviews since its release. David Ansen from Newsweek proclaims, “Rachel Getting Married takes a familiar subject -- the raw nerves of American family life with -- and draws fresh blood,” [newsweek]. Claudia Puig from USA Today hails, “Rachel Getting Married is at its best in scenes featuring Hathaway's mercurial character. It's a triumphant and darkly nuanced role for her and a departure from the more lighthearted comedic performances she has given,” [usatoday]. On top of the positive reviews Anne Hathaway was honored with an Oscar Nomination for Best Actress for her role as Kym in Rachel Getting Married.


Rachel Getting Married starts its run at The State this Friday 1/30 at 7:00 and 9:30 PM. The film continues it’s run from Sunday 2/1 (with shows at 4:00 & 7:00 PM) through Thursday 2/5 with shows everyday at 7:00 & 9:30 PM. Wednesday 2/4 there is also a 4:00 PM showing of the film.
