By what name was Table 19 (2017) officially released in India in English?
What does Eloise learn from Table 19?
Ex-maid of honor Eloise - having been relieved of her duties after being unceremoniously dumped by the best man via text - decides to hold her head 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. As everyone's secrets are revealed, Eloise learns a thing or two from the denizens of Table 19.
Is Table 19 entertaining?
Table 19 is marginally more entertaining than actually sitting with a table full of strangers at a wedding -- although most screenings won't come with an open bar, which makes it a wash. Read critic reviews
What is table 19?
"Table 19" is a movie for everyone who has ever felt deeply uncomfortable at another person's wedding reception. That might not sound like a ringing endorsement—in fact it would make one of the least appetizing DVD box quotes of all time—but there is such a thing as a under-served market, and this movie serves it. Maybe too well, as we'll see.#N#The title refers to the number of a table at a wedding reception. It's far away from the bride's and groom's family tables. In fact it's about as far back as you can get and not be out on the street. It takes a while for everyone at the table to figure out the common element that resulted in all of them being placed at this particular table. Suffice to say that they all have a problematic relationship with somebody in the wedding party, and that's how they ended up seated in a corner near a restroom.
What is the best part of the movie The Wizard of Oz?
The best part of the film is the middle, where the characters sort of wander off on their own and momentarily forget about the reception they came here to attend. (There's a throwaway reference to " The Wizard of Oz " in here; you'll know it when you see it.)
Who played Teddy in the wedding?
There's Eloise ( Anna Kendrick ), the onetime maid of honor who was ejected from her honored place in the wedding party after the best man, her boyfriend Teddy ( Wyatt Russell )—also the bride's brother—broke up with her, via text message, no less. Then there's Jerry and Bina Kepp ( Craig Robinson and Lisa Kudrow ), a sour, squabbling couple who are part of the Ohio diner scene that the groom's family is immersed in. Table 19 also includes the bride's former nanny, Jo Flanagan ( June Squibb ), who's genial and nosy and tells charming stories about the bride and her brother; Renzo Eckberg ( Tony Revolori ), a teenager who came to the reception only after being assured by his mother that he was being seated at the "singles table," and who seems to have no social skills; and Walter Thimple ( Stephen Merchant ), one of the strangest characters I've seen in awhile—a sweet, nervous, exceedingly furtive man who lies about everything.
Who played Huck in the movie?
The film itself is getting up from the table and saying, "No more, I've had enough, let's get out of here and clear our heads." The movie also appears to set up particular subplots that you expect to resolve predictably—notably a flirtation between Eloise and a handsome stranger named Huck, played by Thomas Cocquerel —only to send them out in counter-intuitive, even deliberately anticlimactic ways.
Is the ostrich walk worth seeing?
It's worth seeing for its performances, though—in particular Merchant's. His ostrich walk and deadpan line deliveries are a continual source of delight.
Positive Elements
The first half of the film seems to offer a cynical, pessimistic view of marriage. Jokes are made at the expense of many in Francie’s family, and it’s clear that there’s enormous tension and dysfunction all throughout her clan.
Spiritual Elements
Near the conclusion, Eloise tells Teddy, “If you’re ready to be the person who always forgives me, I’m ready to be the person who always forgives you.”
Sexual Content
Several women wear cleavage-baring outfits. Bina and Jerry are shown kissing as they shower together (we see only their bare shoulders). Eloise is shown looking at herself in the mirror in a clingy slip and undergarments.
Violent Content
Clumsy adolescent Rezno repeatedly has a hard time sitting down, and falls onto the floor and the ground instead. As mentioned, Eloise partially burns her RSVP before extinguishing the flaming response card. Rezno quotes a statistic about death, saying, “One hundred fifty people die every second.”
Crude or Profane Language
One partially voiced f-word, another fully spoken. About 20 s-words. God’s name is misused about 25 times, including once with “d–n.” Jesus’ name is abused once. We hear “a–hole” five times and “d–khead” once. A married couple gives each other a crude hand gesture simultaneously.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Wedding guests and family members drink wine, beer and champagne throughout the film. The bride’s mother is so drunk that she passes out at her table. Rezno’s mom thinks he might have a chance to hook up with a young woman at the event because, she says, “Girls are always drunk and emotional at weddings.”
Other Negative Elements
Eloise and her crew steal a wedding cake from another ceremony after accidentally destroying Francie’s cake. Eloise also vomits at the table. Walter doesn’t tell the truth about who he really is, a relative who embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the father of the bride before eventually going to prison.
