KISS THE BRIDE is simply one of the most outstanding romantic comedies released in 2007. It will surely bring back memories... memories that one may cherish or regret for the rest of his life. I am damn sure that a lot of normal straight guys can relate with the film except those who are in total denial for whatever reason they may have, and of course those who unfortunately didn't have the chance of experimenting during their adolescence.
Surely the film has some flaws but forgettable ones that they definitely will not ruin your viewing pleasure. The portrayals of Tori, Philipp and James are just amazing. The emotions that run amongst the three particularly during the confrontation were realistically touching. The supporting cast also made sure that their contributions added more colours to the feature and even some unimportant scenes become as important as they added certain flavours that tickle the viewers and at the same time make some uncertainties certain.
Watch out for a roller-coaster ride in the end from approximately 01:25!

Wow, Kiss the Bride wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either. It sure was no "Later Day Saints." The movie sags in the center...perhaps cutting out about 30 minutes would have made a more enjoyable film. But the film gets bogged down again and again by annoying subplots and throw away scenes - the whole gold outing sequence comes to mind.
Even though "Kiss" was made for theatrical release, it looks and sounds more like a made for TV movie. Every scene is lighted like a department store. So many characters are so throw away.
And dear Tori is actually a pleasant surprise. She steals every scene she appears in.
One scene really annoyed me. It was the rehearsal dinner in this larger room with scores of tables - all decorated. But only 5 or 6 people in a room for 250! Where did everyone go.
Gay cinema has sunk to a new low...but not as low as the horrible films being produced and shown on the Here! Channel.

I love wedding, i love gay, and i love a happy ending, and this film non of that, this film is exactly "i'm not gay, just my boyfriend is gay, and i will married a girl after all", i hate it, i was okay with the character, i love Alex, she so cute, but i'm not see a gay film to be have to see a hetero wedding, nooo.
And i want a wedding, not a commitment!!!!
'Kiss the Bride' is without doubt one of the worst, bottom of the barrel pictures that ever came down the pike. It centers around two Cali knuckleheads, Matt and Ryan, who were former lovers. Fast forward a number of years and one is getting married having found, or so he believes, the love of his life played by Tori Spelling. The other character, uninvited, decides to attend the wedding, uninvited , in hopes of recapturing his former partner who he still loves. In a moment of heterosexualization, a terrible homophobic ploy, in my opinion, he tries to bed down his former lover's intended bride, making him now curious about his own sexuality. The writer, Ty Lieberman, needs a crash course or ten in creative writing. And LGBTQ+ sensitivity. The acting is a bit over the top as well, but given the awful script, you can't blame them. C. Jay Cox's direction does nothing to lift up this Cali mess.
The ending is also ridiculous and far fetched. Don't waste one minute of your life watching this because you'll never get that time back.

What can I say? This was one awful movie to watch. I am normally not very critical of gay cinema in general, due to the fact that most are usually low-budget, but this really pushed me up the wall. I mean, is this was has happened to gay cinema? Haven't gay producers and directors learned anything from Gus Van Saints and Ang Lee's films?. Just having to sit through the entire movie was like being in a dentist's chair and having my wisdom teeth extracted. I kept on praying for moments where I would feel any sort of connection with any of the characters, but that never happened. Most of the characters performances were just not very convincing. It was like watching one of those badly produced made-for-TV movie specials on a local access TV stations. I cannot tell u how greatly disappointed It was seeing this film after being a big fan of Tori Spellings other works and the directors last work on "Latter day saints." It was definitely not worth the wait. Definitely, a few hours of my life I will never get back and will certainly not be purchasing it on DVD.
