so i watched this last night at a film festival and i wasn't quite sure what to expect. i've never been wowed by anything Here! network so i had my reservations. and the plot early off sounds like a "my best friends wedding" remake, and while the similarities are striking, there is such a twist to the story.the actors work well with each other, especially amber benson and jane cho who both have small but memorable characters.what most impressed me was how the plot would so often veer towards a predictable movie moment, and either a twist was put in, or a re-interpretation of the situation that kept it fresh. (like when alex finally finds out...). while a few critics have written it off as too light and unbelievable, i really think this is one of the better gay movies i have seen recently.

I love wedding, i love gay, and i love a happy ending, and this film non of that, this film is exactly "i'm not gay, just my boyfriend is gay, and i will married a girl after all", i hate it, i was okay with the character, i love Alex, she so cute, but i'm not see a gay film to be have to see a hetero wedding, nooo.
And i want a wedding, not a commitment!!!!
'Sentiment: Neutral 😑'
Not a very convincing movie and not one with an ending that would generally please either a Gay or Straight audience. Acting is OK, but characterization bordered on caricature at points. I wish that I hadn't watched it. You can get some really great LGBT themed movies on Youtube , (free to watch) like "Shelter" or "Apart From High" or "Juste une question d'amour", but "Kiss The Bride" is not notable in my opinion... Another user here - who reviewed this movie a while ago - wrote words to the effect that if this if the state of modern Gay cinema, then we are in trouble. And I agree 100%.
