The life of Matt Roman (Philipp Karner) is turned upside down when he learns that Ryan (James O'Shea), his high-school lover, is going to be married -- to a woman. Believing that Ryan is undergoing some kind of identity crisis and needs help, Matt makes the journey back home, where he meets Ryan's bride-to-be, Alex (Tori Spelling). She immediately gets chummy with Matt, while Ryan claims that his prior flings with men were just part of a temporary phase. Matt, however, cannot accept this.

This is another one of those poorly-acted, TV sitcoms that only gets into film fests because it has two guys kissing. That Tori Spelling stars is enough of a review by itself.

2/5

At first, the supremely silly vibe offers a fair amount of fun. But then Cox switches gears and gets serious, which is a huge mistake.

2.5/5

Fans of the genre, Ms. Spelling (who are likely the same people) and perhaps TV's Will & Grace (who are likely the same people) will be inclined to walk this bride down the aisle.

A little diamond in the rough, slip into your nearest theatre and say "I Do" to Kiss The Bride.

The premise is stomach-turning cutesy as well as maudlin, the characters are cartoons, and the climax is unbelievable and strained to a fare-thee-well.

2.5/4

A light, formulaic romantic comedy that plays with genre conventions just enough to make its cotton-candy charms feel almost fresh.
