Director Jonathan Demme colourfully brings the eponymous wedding to life as Anne Hathaway’s Rachel emerges from rehab and sparks emotional chaos among her already dysfunctional family.

As catastrophe-laden screen weddings go, this is a perfectly-played exemplar. Hathaway is superb, Debra Winger makes a welcome return as Rachel’s mother and, intriguingly, Demme’s mentor, producer-director Roger Corman, turns up as a guest.
