The marriage of mutual friends reunites former college roommates Bob and Brendan, who tried to ignore the sexual tension that always flowed between them. Brendan finally comes out to Bob at the reception, but is it a case of too little, too late?

Bob (Alexis Arquette) and Brendan (Christian Maelen) were college roommates who are both gay and attracted to each other but never came out while in school. Years later they meet at a reunion where a straight friend of theirs is getting married. Bob has a boyfriend--hunky Sterling (Tuc Watkins) but still has feelings for Brendan. And Brendan still wants Bob...I caught this back in 1997 at a small independent theatre. I loved it so much I went back to see it again the same week (something I never do). The picture was very low budget--and it shows. The threadbare sets are a distraction. Arquette said the production kept running out of money. Also the cast mostly consisted of unknowns. Still this has a good script, energetic performances and complications spinning out of control. It's also very tame in terms of gay sex--there's no nudity (the closest we get is seeing Maelen in his underwear) and kisses are done off screen (when Watkins kisses Arquette you hear it but don't see it). Usually that makes me angry but this was made to appeal to all audiences. A fun light-hearted movie. Well worth seeing. Also interesting to see Marni Nixon on screen and not dubbing somebody's singing voice!

I've seen it 4 times in the last week (well, maybe I watched the last scene 8 times). The characters are really well defined, and even the details are perfect. Sometimes it seems to be a Mel Brooks' film or a kind of 1940's pictureIs this enough to say what I feel for it? Alexis Arquette is great, Christian Maelen... GREAT. The other actors are all lovable. But my favorite ones are Guillermo Diaz (Great in Stonewall)and Lauren Velez.I wouldn't change a line in the whole film.Have a look at it, maybe you'll see once, but you'll enjoy it, for sure!Thanks to all those people that made me have so nice time.

This film is horrible. SO poorly written that it surprises me that anyone can suggest otherwise. The acting is camp, over-the-top, community-theater-amateurish, and generally really bad; almost to the point of insulting. This is not a funny film. It rides on the expectation that gay men are hungry for ANY depiction of gay characters who don't die or suffer. I am not a macabre person, but I found myself wishing that these characters would die. I certainly suffered. But like a seeing a train wreck I couldn't turn away... I couldn't believe it could get any worse. It does. Save yourselves. As a post-script, it might interest some to note that this "voice-to-the-stars" Marni Nixon has a small role in this. There's a reason she didn't hit it big as an actress.

Great comedy movie with lots of plot twists and unexpected surprises. Great reactions from the characters. Showed a close knit group of college friends that new each other so well, they often finished each others sentences.Loved the wedding ceremony and the 2nd reading. It was very funny to see the reaction of the wedding party after that reading was completed. Loved It!Great acting, especially by Brenden in the last final scenes. Loved the Partridge Family music which established the time frame of when the events take place. Excellent use of songs and the way they tied into specific scenes and action going on.
