Everyone

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.

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.

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.

I would seem to be in the minority of user commenters -- I had this film from Netflix and liked it so much that I've subsequently bought it for my DVD library. Unlike other people who commented, I've known people who talk like these characters and, despite the seriousness and depression experienced by some of the cast I for one (and only one, apparently) find much that is amusing in the film. The director (and author) and his cast are to be commended. I love this film. I'm not a cinema scholar but, unlike many independent films, the technical aspects are also very good. One does not come away with the impression that it was done on a minimal budget. Excellent sound, editing, scoring and everything else. Bouquets all round!

Good looking groom-to-be Gale is living with a dumpy arrogant twit of a boyfriend who is not looking forward to being 'married' on the very day of his 'wedding'. Seems a bit late to have left it and quite honestly he deserves not to be married. What Gale is doing with this guy is hard to fathom. Bad script, a dialogue of swear words and characters I couldn't care a fig for, meant that the DVD went straight back into the packet. A shame really because there was so much potential to the film. The families could have been made more sympathetic to the audience, their characters developed in the context of the wedding itself, rather than before the wedding, which didn't tell us who was who and where they fitted in. Bad acting added to the boredom.
