This is a great story of two guys who want to get married (maybe?). Their families come together on the day of their commitment ceremony while our to-be-wed couple experiences some breakdowns and breakthroughs in their relationship.

The ensemble is made up of the various brothers and sisters (and their partners) of each of our two leads. The story quickly expands to display the entire family, focusing on the already married couples of the two grooms. Each couples struggles with the everyday (for the most part) challenges of "married" life. Whether it's dealing with professional difficulties, extramarital affairs or simple miscommunication this film shows that marriage can be rough for everyone.

Saw this movie at the Atlantic Film Festival here in Halifax, NS. Very touching and very funny. People should see it. A great line from one of the kids goes along the lines: "Homosexuality's not contagious, but homophobia is." Hopefully with movies like that, we'll be able to conquer homophobia.

This was not the most original movie I've ever seen. I found there to be few laughs. There were several times when I simply stopped the tape, did something else and came back to it because it couldn't hold my interest.
