"Everyone" has issues of some kind........2006-11-21
As the title suggests this film is a moment in time for a cross section of people. The Gay issue forms the back drop but the variety of problems besetting the guests to this Gay "Wedding" is examined as the film progresses. There are touches of Desperate Housewives in the music score, and subtle humour throughout,I thought it moved at a good pace and am puzzled by some of the negative reviews.The casting was good especially the interplay between the three leading men, and the acting, although a bit wooden in parts was okay.I would definately recommend it.
Zzzzzz...........2006-09-09
Mind-numbing movie that does not hold attention rather...
It is a dark look at life around an integral group of individuals all linked to a gay couple... who are getting 'married'...
The acting is less than adequate, the script development not ideal as they are too many subplots running together, and given the timeframe of the movie, they cannot be fully thought out...
THe underlying premise for the film is intriguing, but the execution is not good - would have been better to fully establish all the subplots, and I think it might have been more appropriate to have it developed as a mini-series for cable tv!!!
Interesting people-centred film.......2006-06-28
If you are expecting a Tom Cruise type film don't even think about it. This film requires a modicum of thought on the side of the viewer.
This film is based around a two young men who are going to get married. As they bring their families together we see that all people, gay and straight, have issues. And usually at any one point in a couple's life there are a few biggies. Some of the issues are resolved, others are not. Those of us who like our films neatly tied up at the end will not be too happy about this.
This film shows that gay or straight we're all the same underneath. It was an interesting film about people and how they interact. Their dreams shattered and their dreams fulfilled, and the fall-out that goes with it.
I must admit that the last few minutes of the film did grip me unlike any of the other block-buster type nonsense I see. I was rooting for a sign that there was forgiveness and that people make mistakes.
And the music for the film was very good too. Hit just the right nerve.
ex-pat yankee.......2006-03-25
this Canadian film is really quite funny, indeed profound, if you just give it a chance, and the moviewatcher has to remember that this is a Canadian, not an American film. It uses dramatic pauses (like Harold Pintner's pauses) which, if you are paying attention, are actually quite effective. I was surprised by the many negative reviews posted here because the gentle humanity of this film is one of its winning qualities. All I can say is, the movie is really quite good and deserves more attention than it has received up to now.
Only one star because you can't select zero.......2006-03-11
A waste of everyones time and efforts in bothering to make it and unfortunately a waste of time I will not get back in watching it. I did not take heed of the negative reviewed, I should have and I hope you read them all as they are, unfortunately, precise and accurate.
