A Very Sordid Wedding

I was going thru movies looking for a comedy and thought I'd give this one a look. I liked the title and thought I'd check it out. I only recognized a couple of actors in it, but it did not disappoint. It was laugh out loud funny. So many movies I've tried to watch that just make me squirm and turn them off because they aren't funny and no one can actually act in them. This has some unforgettable characters and the actors are great. A little over the top at times, but still fun to watch. Id recommend if you want a Movie that will make you laugh and characters you would like to see again, the. Check this one out.

After the original movie in 2000 and a short-lived TV series in 2008, we get another installment and catch up on the loony characters in Winters, TX.

Many of the original stars are back and some are not. Coming off best is Leslie Jordan as the Tammy Wynette-obsessed drag queen who returns home for a wedding.

The plot centers on gay marriage and the hypocrisy of bible thumpers and ends in a double wedding. Very good are Bonnie Bedelia, Ann Walker, Carole Cook, Dale Dickey, and Newell Alexander.

The big surprise is Scott Presley as Roger the local hairdresser, who brings a touch of sad wistfulness as he finally fights back against the hateful christians who try to ban gays from their stores. It's a fine moment when he kicks a bunch of hateful women out of his salon. Another sad note is that Sharon Hunley (who plays the funny/dippy Juanita) didn't live to see the film released.

Emerson Collins plays the get-away serial killer. Rosemary Newell returns as the evil psychiatrist. Kirk Geiger also returns as the gay son about to be married. There's also a special guest star in the finale.

Leslie Jordan is always a joy to watch, but Scott Presley steals the show.

An anti bigotry film is very welcomed, but this film is horrendous. The characters are foul mouthed, talk all the time and just won't stop being nasty to each other. There is constant bickering, and nonstop negative interactions. It is such a pity that an anti bigotry film ends up being nasty and negative.

This movie does a great job of pointing out how hypocritical and small- minded some "righteous" folks can be without being overbearing. It's sweet and funny and isn't afraid to poke fun at itself. I felt like it illustrated how everyone has a story and that learning a person's story is more important than jumping to conclusions. I really had a great time watching this movie.

I can't write a better review than others have done, except to say I grew up in that part of the world, which makes me a bit of an expert on the characters and setting. I don't talk to my relatives there any longer, BTW - once you see this film, you'll understand why. I know I do.

Not that I wouldn't call them, but, well... just watch the "Jimmy Ray Brewton" (Levi Kreis) character and you get the worst side of that bunch. If you use proper grammar and spelling and occasionally eat a salad, you would find yourself in the same place as Latrelle (Bonnie Bedelia) very quickly.

The eye shadow. The hair. The clothes. Even the accents. East Texas to a nut!!!

I bet you'll like this very sordid wedding, too! I haven't even finished the film yet because I'm taking time to post some of the most hilarious quotes I've ever heard on film!

Save me! Make all the ugly in the world go away!!!
