Plot: Director C. Jay Cox explores the complex social and sexual landscapes of contemporary America with this heartfelt romantic comedy about a gay male who just discovered that the love of his life is about to tie the knot -- with a woman! Back in high school, Matt (Philipp Karner) and Ryan (James O'Shea ) were more than just best friends. But ten years after graduation, this once-inseparable pair has lost contact. One day, seemingly out of the blue, Matt receives an invitation to Ryan's wedding. Of course, there has been plenty of time for Ryan to develop new relationships in the ten long years since he and Matt last spoke, but the last thing Matt would ever expect is for his former high-school love to fall for a member of the fairer sex. Convinced that Ryan is about to be taken advantage of by a scheming she-devil, Matt races back to the small hometown he once left behind and prepares to save his true love from a life of marital despair. Upon meeting perky bride-to-be Alex (Tori Spelling), however, Matt slowly begins to understand what it is that Ryan sees in her. Still, Matt can't mess up the opportunity to let the love of his life slip through his fingers, and ultimately decides to come clean about his true feelings for Ryan. Trouble is, Ryan views his romance with Matt as nothing more than a high school fling. As the wedding day draws near and long-buried emotions begin to bubble to the surface, Matt realizes that his feelings for Ryan are stronger than ever before, and his attempts to reconcile the past with the present will ultimately pave the road into an uncertain future. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Made Me Smile a Lot

Amusing, fun, semi-sexy, and just a plain good movie. If you want a light hearted, feel good film try this one. It does have its moments of seriousness, but on the whole its a romp that will keep you entertained.

Silly, frustrating, unsatisfying (Spoilers)
Added 4/24/2009

Caution: Spoilers. A silly plot and unsatisfying ending. A gay man is on the brink of getting into a hetero marriage when the long lost gay "love of his life" returns (at the bride's secret invitation to "test" her finance's true orientation) to try to "save" him (a la "My Best Friend's Wedding"). The gay lovers decide to forego their love for each other because the long lost friend thinks the bride-to-be is "cool." So the gay groom-to-be and the bride-to-be decide, at the alter, to have a commitment ceremony instead of a wedding. DUMB,DUMB, DUMB, but then Tori S. does play the bride. The only redeeming feature of the film is the male "eye candy" on display.

No Surprises
Added 4/12/2009

The irony is the special features BEHIND THE SCENES keeps telling us the ending will be a total surprise and yet the final scene of the featurette shows the ending. As well, there is nothing predictable about this feature. Where you think the film and characters are going to go is exactly where they go. The only question is why it seems to take so long to get there.

On the plus side, the supporting cast is great but largely wasted. One of the supporting actors has most of her scenes left on the cutting room floor, presumably for pace considerations, but it really provides her some moments and especially some input into her life that it's a shame the scenes are cut from the film.

One of the supporting cast is Charlie David and his appearance in the film is another broadcast of where the story will end up. His association with DANTE'S COVE HERE! series has provided him inclusion into a lot of other films, and his limited talent and appeal are debatable.

The two male leads are very attractive. However, the scenes taking place ten years earlier in their relationship does not serve the film well, the guys are obviously much older playing teenagers. Probably the scenes should have been filmed in black and white or sepia toned or any way to soften their hard edges (facially as well as in their adult musculature).

Tori Spelling steals the show as her character - which could be annoying as she is so perfect and perfectly adorable - never manages to grate. You can see why her fiance wants to marry her and why the old boyfriend ends up loving her too.
