We meet Alex (writer/director
Trish Doolan) while she rushes around trying to arrange the perfect wedding shower
for her friend April (Maria Cina). She seems stressed, and as a whirlwind of wacky,
issue-laden guests arrive, things only get worse. By the time April and her fiancé
Paulie (Randall Batinkoff, Higher Learning) arrive, it's clear that something
else is going on. Meanwhile, two of the guests are in the midst of breaking
up. Sasha (Honey Labrador, "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl," Promtroversy,
Little Black Boot) retreats upstairs to paint out her frustrations, while
her lover Sophie (Arly Jover) makes excuses for her inability to commit to their
relationship. Other guests include the gay male friend, the virginal cousin, a
porn star sister, mothers of the bride and groom, and a collection of other characters. Suddenly,
Alex breaks up the revelry by revealing that she and April were lovers for five
years, outing both of them to most of the guests for the first time. Both women
are still in love. As they remember the good times and express anger over what
happened between them, will April decide to marry Paulie after all or go back
to Alex, her true love? It's a romantic comedy with a happy ending. There
are a lot of characters, some of whom are a bit annoying with jokes that fall
flat for the first half hour, but it does have its good moments. Produced by Doolan
and Labrador. |
