Review: 'Rachel Getting Married'
![The Internet Movie Database, the mighty monarch of cinema sites, lists more than 600 films with the word "wedding" in the title. And no wonder. Where else can the passions of the moment, and recriminations born of unresolved family issues, mix to create the kind of emotional wallop that the best kind of cinema thrives on?](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-10/42714723-02173233.jpg "The Internet Movie Database, the mighty monarch of cinema sites, lists more than 600 films with the word "wedding\" in the title.

'Bride Wars' stars Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway
![Guaranteed to stoke your recession-racked class envy into a raging bonfire, "Bride Wars" concerns two lifelong friends, played by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, whose respective, competitive weddings, mistakenly scheduled for the same day at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, turn bride-to-be against bride-to-be. The timing of this picture's release is unfortunate, as is the picture itself. Now, the target audience may disagree with me. (The combined international gross for last year's "Made of Honor" and "27 Dresses" was $266 million, not counting DVD sales and rentals.) But "Bride Wars" really does not capture the mood of the moment. It comes from a different time, a different planet. Watching the characters flit from Vera Wang fitting to wedding-planner meeting, you may feel like forcing these two to do a few hundred hours of community service at a homeless shelter.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-01/44424885-09042631.jpg "Guaranteed to stoke your recession-racked class envy into a raging bonfire, "Bride Wars\" concerns two lifelong friends, played by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, whose respective, competitive weddings, mistakenly scheduled for the same day at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, turn bride-to-be against bride-to-be.

'The Wrestler' (3 1/2 stars!) stars Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood
![Written by Robert Siegel, former editor of The Onion, "The Wrestler" spends 105 minutes grappling at the edge of camp, cheap laughs and cliches. Yet the way it's handled by director Darren Aronofsky and especially by Mickey Rourke—who really should get an Oscar for his portrayal of Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a steroid-addled sweetie in tights—it stays honest and keeps on fighting.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-12/44212921-24054934.jpg "Written by Robert Siegel, former editor of The Onion, "The Wrestler\" spends 105 minutes grappling at the edge of camp, cheap laughs and cliches.

Review: 'Flash of Genius'
"Flash of Genius" is largely about how one person's nothing is another person's everything. Take the intermittent windshield wiper, for example. I, for one, had never much thought about who designed it, where it came from or whether there was a story...Tags: Dermot Mulroney, Alan Alda, Ford, Entertainment, Flash of Genius (movie)
