SYNOPSIS: 

Eloise (Anna Kendrick) is relieved from her duties as the maid of honor after being dumped by her boyfriend, Teddy (Wyatt Russell) who is the bride's brother and best man. However, she decides to attend the wedding anyway and ends up sitting at table number 19 together with the other unwanted guests. 

To be honest, the main reason why I wanted to watch this movie is because of Anna Kendrick. I am a fan because she's like this awkward funny kinda girl. This makes her quite perfect for the role because most of the situations in this movie are super awkward. Can you imagine? Attending a wedding alone while your ex which you clearly still have feelings for is the best man and he has a date. Err... super super awkward. I love her. 

The other supporting actors and actresses are also charming in an awkward way. Yeah, this movie is so big on awkwardness. We have Renzo (Tony Revolori) who is a young, weird teen looking to score a date. Then, the married couple Bina (Lisa Kudrow) & Jerry Kepp (Craig Robinson) who keep arguing with each other. Making things more weird, Walter (Stephen Merchant), who claims himself as a businessman but actually a former convict. Lastly, Jo Flanagan (June Squibb), the bride's former nanny who is hopeful that the bride still remembers her after those long years. Together, they and Eloise form a squad of charming, awkward people. 

Truthfully, this movie is not the type of comedy that gives you full blasts of laughter, no. Rather, most of the jokes would just result in snickers and snorts. I don't mean it in a bad way but I think many would not like this movie. The pacing is rather slow and the jokes are more of one liners and awkward moments. So, if you are looking forward to laugh your ass off, pick another movie because you won't be getting that from this one. If you're into something indie and charming, give this one a go. 

All in all, Table 19 is a charming movie that is slow paced and awkward. It is not much of a rom - com but it's more towards incidentally finding friends in the most awkward situations ever. 

3 out of 5 stars.
