The Perfect Wedding

"The Perfect Wedding" presents a simple, straight-forward romance that doesn't try to be anything it isn't. The entire cast is wonderful, the production values are high, and the film combines the straight story line and the gay story line perfectly. The impending wedding of the straight sister perfectly balances the blossoming romance and drama of the gay brother. I've been craving a gay romance without all the tortured souls, internalized homophobia, and convoluted drama. This fit the bill perfectly. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Also be sure to watch "Plan B" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1408972/), a great romantic comedy that will really move you.

This is very middle of the road but still entertaining and a nice option for an alternative Christmas movie. But I had to write as raptureofori2 was too harsh in their review. Mainly because the super sexy guy would never date the "ordinary" looking guy. That is so untrue. We can't control where our hearts go. I would fall into the ordinary category but I am lucky that a lot of men I find sexy and hot also like me. Like Baskin Robbins, there's 31 flavors and everyone has their tastes. Some think I am ugly and some think I am hot. It's up to us, time and chemistry to pair me up with the right match.

So raptureofori2 please don't judge a book by its cover or dictate your tastes on the rest of us. There's something for everyone

This understated indie film features an ensemble of unknown actors in a slow-building family drama with lighter moments.

While the focus is on the blossoming gay love triangle, there are hints of trouble in the others' lives too. Emotional subtleties are allowed to develop at a pace that respects the very real truths unfolding and the almost European level of vulnerability between characters.

The palette is muted throughout, likely from budgetary constraints, but it works to keep the focus on the actors. The Florida setting allows for casual outdoor scenes and a few shots of great natural beauty.

This film will never set the world on fire but it has a lot of heart. It knows what's really important, in family, in weddings, and at Christmas

The Perfect Wedding is extremely stupid, very badly written and acted, totally unbelievable fluff. It's a gay clone of every Doris Day movie made half a century ago, but even stupider. Day had millions of devoted fans, as does this movie, apparently, but I don't fit in either group.

The only person in it who is even worth looking at is Roger Stewart as Roy the loser. He's fascinating and very, very attractive, but he's wasted on a stupid role in a stupid movie. I'd never seen him before, so discovering him is the one good thing I got from this movie and almost compensates for not being allowed to give it zero stars. All the other actors (and their characters) are as boring as mud - especially the two toothy, brainless Frog Prince mimbos in the middle.

For all those self-hating gay men who can't survive long without a fix of total unreality and shallow, sloppy, bogus, nauseatingly predictable "romance", this movie should prove almost as satisfying as heroin.

It was so cute and sweet without being flamboyant or over the top like so many gay themed movies are. It also lacked the 'drowning in angst' that is the other extreme for gay movies, where it seems like there is simply no upside to being gay and all you can do is hate yourself before you commit suicide or die of a drug overdose. It wasn't just the romance I liked, though - I also liked the straight sister's fiancé and her little wedding in the backyard, and the parents dealing with a family medical issue. I understand why some people wouldn't like it, because they equate 'cute' with 'sappy'. And that's fine. But for anyone who likes cute and sweet and a little fluffy, I'd highly recommend this film. You can find it on Netflix to stream.
