Written by Mark and Jay Duplass, SxSW darlings, this could be a Wes Anderson film (see below) . Anna Kendrick stars as Eloise, who was to be the Maid of Honor at her friends wedding. But after getting "dumped" by the bride's brother (and Best Man) Eloise is relegated to Table 19, the Random bunch who doesn't know better than not to come to the wedding. Best Man is played by Wyatt Russell (stand-in for Owen Wilson). Wyatt is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
Table 19 is populated by others (including Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson and Tony Revolori - Grand Budapest Hotel) who take on a Lifeboat aspect of being thrown together in each other's lives for a short time.
A few good moments here - not your typical wedding movies. A few plots twists keep it interesting. The big stars play a little against type.
