Anna Paquin on set of The Romantics
“The Romantics”, written and directed by Galt Niederhoffer, takes place over the course of one night at a deluxe seaside wedding. Seven close friends—all members of a tight, eclectic college clique—reconvene at a seaside wedding to watch two of their own tie the knot. Lila (Anna Paquin) is the golden girl preparing for her dream wedding, and Laura (Katie Holmes) is Lila’s maid of honor. Once college roommates, Laura and Lila have been best friends since their first meeting on campus, but Lila’s groom, Tom (Josh Duhamel), is the man they have long rivaled over. Promiscuity and hi-jinks abound as the drunken friends frolic in the nearby surf and revel in the nostalgic haze of their glory days.
Galt Niederhoffer received the 2007 Sundance Audience Award for producing Grace is Gone. She also produced the Sundance Film Festival films Lonesome Jim, Dedication, Diminished Capacity, Birds of America, and Hurricane.
