Scene Where Claire Laughs at Christina's Wedding Vows


At Christina Cleary's wedding, she and her husband exchange vows that are cringeworthy at best, and younger sister Claire (Rachel McAdams) cannot stop laughing at this.

Watching the scene, Rachel McAdams seemed to be genuinely laughing, and I was wondering if anyone else thought that this might have originally been unscripted, but kept in the movie because it worked so well?

You know, I've wondered about that for a few years now. But I don't think it was unscripted.i think Rachel is just such a great actress she made it seem realistic. A similar thing happens with her in The Notebook when she and Ryan Gosling are about to make love for the first time in the old house. She keeps popping up and talking because she's supposed to be nervous, and I swear, she really seems like it. This also happens in Red Eye with her and Cillian Murphy.

She's just that good.

reply

Agreed! She's great at what she does.

I hate that scene. Her character seems like such a bitch to be laughing at the wedding vows during the ceremony.

Meggy,

I apologize that people are not as perfect as you and do not crack up in pressure packed situations. Your elitism is oh so humbling.

Sincerely,
The peons

It's okay, I'll let it slide this time! ;)

He was being sarcastic, you stupid son of a bitch.

If my brother had spouted that pile of *beep* at his wedding I'd have laughed my arse off and even mentioned it in my speech.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time Del Boy, it's them that started me drinking!

This was hilarious to me, because one time at church (a small intimate room actually), my friend and I started laughing like that and couldn't stop. It was horrible!
