Table 19

Oberhofer Talks Totally Tubular Covers Of Cars, Cyndi Lauper, Wang Chung For 'table 19' Soundtrack

... real actors make a lot of sense to me. maybe part of me is an actor. I've been doing a couple of auditions now and I'm working with CAA on some acting stuff. You worked with Jake Portrait from Unknown Mortal Orchestra and I'm curious, did he give you any direction when you were in the studio? Was there any new wave dancing during "Tenderness?". Recording with Jake was awesome because he's a really good friend and we've known each other for a while. I really got into character and he encouraged me to do that. He said, "You really have to feel it, and become Cyndi Lauper.". Really? What did that look like. I just took whatever clothes I was wearing and maybe I'd tuck in my shirt or untuck it, put on some sunglasses. I was always dancing. dancing was embedded in all of [the songs]. I also practiced singing in an exaggerated way. I was maybe doing ...

Anna Kendrick Gets Dumped & Dismissed In New Wedding Comedy

... as Eloise, as well as many of her incredible co-stars including Lisa Kudrow and June Squibb. So cool. If you check out the gallery, you’ll see 8 brand new stills from Table 19. One shows Eloise fighting with her ex, Teddy, played by Wyatt Russell, as her new friends from the “randoms” table back her up. Another shows Lisa’s Bina Kepp hilariously dressed identical to the wait staff at the ceremony. Whoops. You’ll also notice two behind-the-scenes photos from the making of Table 19, including Anna getting some last minute direction at the wedding, and another of her and Wyatt discussing an upcoming shot with director Jeffrey Blitz. Isn’t it awesome to get a sneak peek at how movies are made? We love it. Here’s the full synopsis for Table 19, which comes out on March 3: Ex-maid of honor Eloise (Anna Kendrick) — having been relieved of her duties after being unceremoniously dumped ...

Mini Reviews Of Before I Fall, Saigon Bodyguards, The Shack, Table 19, Ballerina

... nerd Kent (Logan Miller), who has a secret crush on Sam, and school “psycho” Juliet (Elena Kampouris), who is bullied just for being different. The day will actually turn out to be even more complicated than Sam planned. Something happens — she’s not sure what exactly — that has her reliving Cupid Day over and over, but also with the power to make small and possibly significant changes. “Don’t go emo on us,” somebody says, and thankfully the film doesn’t. A fine actress, Deutch makes a compelling and empathetic protagonist, even as the story veers closer into the supernatural. Neither does it go overboard for the usual teen movie hijinks — the mood is frequently as dark as the lens of Michael Fimognari, who puts his horror film experience to good work. Also opening: George Mendeluk’s Bitter Harvest, a historical drama set in 1930 s Soviet Ukraine, at Cineplex Yonge-Dundas. Peter Howell. Saigon ...

Rsvp 'no' To 'table 19

... Tony Revolori in a scene from the film, "Table 19." (Jace Downs/Fox Searchlight via AP). (AP) - Stilted conversations. Empty niceties. Forced joy. That overwhelming sense that it might have been better to just stay at home in sweats. It's that horrifying feeling you get being at a bad wedding with people you barely know. And, as it turns out, it's also the experience of watching "Table 19 ," a movie about being at a bad wedding at a table with people you barely know. While that unpleasant sensation might be tolerable (and even kind of clever) for a first act set up, in the awfully generic "Table 19," it never fades and even gets worse as the labored wackiness gives way to trite sentimentality. The premise is to spend the course of a wedding reception with the people at the random table, or as they later explain, the pity invite people who should have RSVP'd "no." There's the unhappy married couple who sort ...

Table 19

... one-time nanny who has been forgotten by the family. Lisa Kudrow and Craig Robinson have decent chemistry as a fighting couple that run a diner together. Yet the direction their story goes is awful. Also at table 19, Tony Revolori, who was good in two disappointing films — Dope and The Grand Budapest Hotel. He plays a virgin that takes his mother’s advice and shows up at the wedding hoping to score. Yet it’s hard for us to root for a guy that’s just throwing lines awkwardly at any girl he sees in the hopes of getting laid. We root for love and romance, not scoring on a bridesmaid that’s had too much champagne. It’s one of the reasons why we liked the nerdy Michael Anthony Hall character in The Breakfast Club (a movie this obviously wishes it was, especially with the ‘80 s songs we hear the wedding band constantly playing). Stephen Merchant, the one I was most excited to see, plays easily the dumbest character you’ll see on screen this year. He’s living in a halfway house, after a stint in prison. You wonder why he’d attend the wedding at all, since he stole money from the bride’s father. For some reason, he’s incapable of properly lying ...

At This Wedding, The Laughs Never Register

... himself off as a "successful business"; Renzo (Tony Revolori, of The Grand Budapest Hotel), a fur-tie-wearing teenager who's trying to end his virginity; Bina and Jerry (Lisa Kudrow and Craig Robinson), a pair of diner-owners whose marriage is stuck in a rut; and Jo (June Squibb), a seemingly sweet-natured older woman who was once Teddy and the bride's nanny. There's little evidence in Table 19 that a looser, more improvisational approach to the reception, like Robert Altman's A Wedding or the ensemble raunch of Bridesmaids, would have yielded a better film, because the group chemistry is stilted so much of the time. But the surprise of Table 19 — especially coming from the Duplasses, who prize spontaneity — is how loudly the gears of the story clank away. Rather than see where the afternoon ...

Table 19' Movie Not Worth A Reservation

... small and meaningful character interactions. The former speeds from climax to climax, with dialogue that talks about its characters emotions rather than shows them. The result: This picture about adults at a wedding feels more juvenile than a picture about high schoolers in detention. Our protagonist, Eloise Mc Garry (Anna Kendrick), certainly feels like a high school drama queen, though. She has been invited to the wedding of her oldest friend, Francie (Rya Meyers), but has also been unceremoniously relegated to a table with other undesirables because she’s the ex of the bride’s brother, Teddy (Wyatt Russell). Eloise despises Teddy for dumping her over text, but she may not be so innocent herself. While trying to avoid Teddy, Eloise befriends his and Francie’s old nanny, Jo (June Squibb), ex-con Walter (Stephen Merchant), husband-and-wife diner owners Bina (Lisa Kudrow) ...
