Insufferable nonsense

Given that the same names reappear several times in the credits, this film was obviously a labour of love. So it’s a shame that it should be such a waste, sunk by leaden contrivance and earnestness, a painfully arch effort, with seriously unreal dialogue (platitudes with a few ‘f**ks’ thrown in for style) underpinned by ‘solemn’ piano chords and bass notes. The acting is so bad that even the accents sound false (though it’s a Canadian film, not from the US). It’s even an effort to get to the end.

90 minutes...waiting for something to happen

This is, I think, one of the worst films I have ever seen. First off, I didn't have a clue as to where it was being set...why am I seeing an all 'American' cast in English looking houses...turns out it was set in Vancouver...thanks for setting the scene beforehand! I then spent the next hour wondering what on earth the story was really about, was it about the upcoming gay wedding, sorry, civil partnership, or was it about all the problems with the lives of the support cast? There didn't seem to be, from my point of view, any continuity between the characters, indeed some of them beggared belief as to their authenticity, particularly the mother character and even the two 'grooms'. Did I mention that after an hour I fell asleep (in the middle of the afternoon)? Upon awakening, I had this really strange thought that it might get better, so I watched the other 30 minutes, but alas, still nothing happened, oh except the token gay infidelity near the end, because of course, gay people can't be monogomous, even on their wedding day...I mean please, what a lot of complete rubbish this film really was. I've watched a lot of films released on the TLA Releasing label and I really love to find the good in all films I watch, after all, someone made it for our viewing pleasure. I'm stuck with this one however, it seems to me that it was one of those moving making projects made just to satisfy the whim of the director/writer/cast member rather than to gratify its audience. Not one to put you off, but I suggest you rent something else instead, if this review is published of course! ;)
