Table 19


Ex-maid of honor Eloise (Anna Kendrick) - having been relieved of her duties after being unceremoniously dumped by the best man via text - decides to hold her head up high and attend her oldest friend's wedding anyway. She finds herself seated at the 'random' table in the back of the ballroom with a disparate group of strangers, most of whom should have known to just send regrets (but not before sending something nice off the registry). As everyone's secrets are revealed, Eloise learns a thing or two from the denizens of Table 19. Friendships - and even a little romance - can happen under the most unlikely circumstances.

This was a very cute independent comedy.  It was a textbook artsy limited release.  Quirky characters that totally hook you.  More of a story than the trailer showed you to get you interested.  But the story really doesn't matter because its the characters that you care about.  Each one of the misfits at Table 19 delivered the needed laughs to make the movie worth watching and the short running time was also very important.  Stephen Merchant delivered yet another great supporting role and was probably my favorite of all of them.

I would sort of recommend people checking this out.  It's not a must see by any means and is absolutely not a main stream  comedy.  It is a decent watch though if you were interested by the trailer even with the added drama they thought was necessary to add to the movie.
