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.

I rented this movie with no prior knowledge of it. I simply saw Carly Pope in the cast list and thought, "How fun. I remember her from 'Popular'." I thought this was going to be a funny movie, not a depressing flick about depressing people and their depressing lives. I love movies in which families get together for holidays or events (ie. 'Eulogy' or 'Home For The Holidays') and you witness their personal insanities and eccentricities. But I like them because they portray these families in a light that reminds us of our own relatives and allows us to remember that families are insane yet normal. This movie does not do that. It simply removes any faith you may have about commitment, fidelity, love or happiness. I am not a hopeless romantic or blind optimist, but the problems in these peoples' lives did not warrant the amount of infidelity and self-pity that was portrayed. The only characters I enjoyed were the mom, Carly Pope's caterer/bartender and Dylan (only for his quirkiness, his home-wrecker side really bothered me). Basically, this movie is not funny and would have more success if it presented itself as a drama.
They don't look like lovers, do they even love each others??? they're so annoy... I'd to see gay weddings, it my fav part in every films, but this film ruin it, okay, i can guess the plot twist clearly, but still i can't bear it, it something too terrable for me!
This movie is a bit like an Altman movie with a giant cast of characters where you hop from person to person to track what is happening as they prepare for and attend a gay wedding. The plot intricately weaves the lives and the themes of death and bearing children.
Brendan Fletcher as Dylan, the manipulative, sexy street kid mom invites just to stir things up steals the show.
Many times in the movie I screamed out "no gay person would ever say that". It was clearly written by a sympathetic clever straight person imagining what gay folk would say. Much of the dialog is far too bitchy to come out of the mouths of today's young gays, and certainly not from a couple about to marry.
Lots of nudity and sex. The sex scenes were quite convincing.
It was shot on location in Vancouver. It spooked me several times when the set looked so much like the house I used to live in with the love of my life on East 27th Avenue.
The film is an odd mix of comedy and tragedy. Some of the co-incidences in the plot seem out of character unless you treat the movie as comedy.
The photography and sound is fully professional, something you don't expect from local film.
The film contains a scene, the most honest I have seen in film, about what is like to be male and horny. On the other hand, characters often do things for motives I cannot fathom.

This movie is a little strange. When it started, I was a little worried it would turn out to be a drama instead of a comedy. And not a very good drama. Then it started getting better and better, and soon I was laughing out loud at some scenes. Be sure to watch the final credits, for there is a hidden last scene.
This movie tries to deal with some serious stuff, mainly relationships, be them gay or not. I don't know if the director wanted it to happen that way, but it did feel a bit weird, like I wasn't sure if some scenes were supposed to be sad or funny. Maybe he went for the REALISM effect, as in life it often does happen that you don't know if you want to cry or laugh. Anyway, this film was mostly funny, and I'm glad I saw it. I seems to say that everyone is a bit weird, but then again things CAN work out fine. I want to see this director's next movie.
