Cubs and Rachel
The Cubs were swept -- they had one badly pitched game, but overall hitting and bad fielding did the trick. Sad if now predictable. Rachel is Getting Married is in effect two films -- "Rachel Is" (Anne Hathaway and company) and "Getting Married." Powerful look at a screwed up family, AH (who isn't Rachel) going the serious Havoc route; her dad also deserves kudos. But, the wedding was just too over the top. Indulgent really. If you rent, ff some of those parts.
