WHAT WOULD TOTO WATCH? (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago
... for her old home where Rachel and family are prepping for the big day. The sisters’ father (Bill Irwin) is trying to keep his family intact for just … a few … more … hours, but it’s an effort that ultimately collapses. Kym can’t beat back her demons for long, and reuniting with the picture-perfect Rachel reminds her of all her personal failings. And then there’s their mother, played...

... everything after they leave. I have a Plan. So after dinner, the paterfamilias of this family (Bill Irwin), the father of the bride, begins loading the dishwasher. (I could not see enough of his technique to form a judgment, which I consider a serious flaw in the movie.) At a certain point, the groom starts to rearrange the dishwasher, muttering about efficiency. Irwin protests....

... portrays the family as almost a parody of wealthy, enlightened WASP liberalism. The father, Paul (Bill Irwin), is married to African-American Carol (Anna Deavere Smith), sister Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) is marrying a black man, Sidney (Tunda Adebimpe), and the wedding guests form a kind of rainbow utopia. Picture samba dancers, people wearing leis, a crew-cut Asian guy in pink sunglasses,...

There isn't much to say about last night, except that it was pretty exciting. And I always like to see Bill Irwin (the psych ward doctor, who deserves an Oscar nod for his turn in Rachel Getting Married) on screen. But there was something that disturbed me. The show is hinting at the fact that Sam is in a coma (the soap opera he sees has his "lookalike" in a coma, with Maya and Mom hovering...

... as any drug addict I've ever seen on-screen. Perhaps the most moving performance comes from Bill Irwin as the sisters' father. He juggles a difficult mix of the sincere and the phony, often embodying the latter in order to level conflicts out. The verisimilitude of his personality sticks better than any character's in recent memory.Director Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Jenny Lumet's...

... real ways – as with the dishwasher competition between Sidney and his soon-to-be father-in-law [Bill Irwin]. Despite having the deepest emotional reaches to plumb, Hathaway’s [who really does deserve an Oscar® nomination] Kim is the glue that holds the film together, rather than the big scene stealer. How cool is this movie? Robyn Hitchcock plays at the reception! ‘Nuff said. Final...

Her father (Bill Irwin) picks her up from the facility and brings her home where she is to attempt to reintegrate with the rest of the extended family as well as the new in-laws. This does not prove to be an easy task as Kym tends towards the self-centered and while she may be clean (nine months...

If you want to see a movie that is gripping and one that shows the love of a family, Rachel Getting Married may be the ticket you want to buy. This movie, starring Anne Hathaway , Bill Irwin , and Debra Winger ( I didn't realize it was her until late in the movie!) deals with a young woman, Kym(Hathaway) who has come home for the weekend from a rehab clinic, to attend the wedding of her...

... currently another production of the 1953 play appearing on Broadway, starring Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin. No offence to those two actors, but with these two stars in the West End, London would totally win in a Godot-off. We'd kinda like to see X-Men: The Musical, though: Oh What A Beautiful Mutant; Music of the Nightcrawler; Singin' in the Rain (Storm's Theme) etc.*Spoiler: he doesn't....

It will offend the sensitive, but...
