Plot: Diane Keaton has a series of violent psychotic episodes in the leadup to her daughter’s wedding.Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
Because it said so. And also because it contains that malfunctioning psycho-thespian Diane Keaton, of whom I doubt we've seen the last of on this site.
What's great about this movie is that Keaton gives a no holds barred performance that culminates in an onscreen meltdown unlike anything you've ever seen before. Trust me. Mandy Moore, Piper Perabo and Lauren Graham do their very best to make this film a dull and almost impossible to watch rom-com movie, but Keaton impressively holds the conventions of cinema hostage, effectively making this a post-modern horror movie.
Best scene: Stephen Collins' character discovers Diane Keaton's character is a Nazi war criminal in hiding, resulting in a lengthy knife fight atop the Golden Gate bridge.
