Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:rachel-married-poster_553.jpg\|frame\|[[The Woobie\|Just look at]] [[Moe\|'em doe eyes]]....]] {{quote\|''Hey, didn't I see you on [[~~Cops~~COPS (series)\|COPS]]?''\|'''Girl at Counter'''}} ''Rachel Getting Married'' is a film about Kym, the [[Black Sheep]] of her family, who was released out of rehab just in time for her sister, Rachel's, wedding. And naturally, [[Rule of Drama\|things start to spill]]. A hell of a lot [[Better Than It Sounds]]. Line 10: ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[Rachel Getting Married]]'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Bitter Wedding Speech]]: Kym, who has just gotten out of rehab, makes a speech at her sister's rehearsal dinner apologizing for her past actions because she is jealous of the attention her sister is getting. * [[Black Sheep]]: Kym. * {{spoiler\|[[Dead Little Sister\|Dead Little Brother]]}}: Ethan, {{spoiler\|who drowned after a car accident when Kym drove off a bridge while she was high}}. * [[Dinner and Aa Show]]: Subverted for the most part. Much of the escalation happens when the family is at home, but it's hard to have any privacy when the wedding party is in the same home at all times. * [[Dysfunctional Family]]: Rachel and Kym's family. Lampshaded by Kym during her speech at the rehearsal dinner. * [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Sidney is portrayed by Tunde Adebimpe, the lead singer for the indie rock band [[TvTV On the Radio]]. * [[It's All About Me]]: Kym is so self obsessed she throws a tantrum when she realizes her sister's wedding is not about her rehabilitation. ** Kym and Rachel seem to actually be a variation of [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]] in which Kym is out to prove that she's better and Rachel is, well, [[Title Drop\|getting married]]. Rachel even pulls the news of her {{spoiler\|pregnancy}} out during a heated argument that she started. Everyone cheers up and congratulates her, while Kym is left angry, miserable, and [[Failure Is the Only Option\|still unable to settle things with her family]]. * [[Jerkass]]: Emma in particular, but Rachel gets her fair share. Kym can come off as such, but she's of a [[Jerkass Woobie\|different]] [[Freudian Excuse\|flavor]]. ** And then there's [[Parental Neglect\|Mom]]... * [[Jittercam]] * [[Leave the Camera Running]]: At times, it looks like the movie was cut together from footage the guests took with their camcorders. * [[My Greatest Failure]]: Kym {{spoiler\|accidentally driving off a bridge and causing her little brother to drown because she was high}}. Rachel {{spoiler\|almost}} [[Never Live It Down\|never lets her live it down]]. * [[Oscar Bait]]: Anne Hathaway was nominated for an Oscar for her role in this film. * [[Playing Against Type]]: Who'd have thought that the girl from ''[[The Devil Wears Prada]]'' could pull off such a raw emotional performance?
