RACHEL GETTING MARRIED
Anne Hathaway returns from rehab in time for her sister's wedding, where most of hell breaks loose. Another indie ensemble family drama about healing decades-old wounds between mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers. Edgy dialogue, kitchsy production values, the whole shebang -- and directed by Jonathan Demme. (LB) Rated R
ROLE MODELS
When two lazy guys (Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott) stuck in a dead-end job, get in some trouble with the law, they're given a choice of jail time or time spent with some troubled kids, acting as mentors. This raucous comedy suggests that they might have had an easier time behind bars. The film features a surprisingly funny, very foul-mouthed bit of acting from young newcomer Bobb'e J. Thompson, and the return of (the guy who played) McLovin! (ES) Rated R
