3 Guys, 1 Girl, 2 Weddings

A Very Funny Gay Comedy
One gay roommate adores his best friend but the problem is that roomate is straight. Not only that, but the roommate is falling in love with a girl. Complications... A frothy, light comedy that is fun to watch. My favorite scene occurs where the best friend lends his bride's wedding dress so that his roommate can use it as a prop in a gay parade. When the bride sees "her dress" being ripped up on television...well...

Sparlking film RUINED by Implausible Ending
Until the last 11 minutes I was delighted with this film. While it is certainly no masterpiece, the characters were delightful and charming, the writing and production quite good, etc. I was basking in my enjoyment and looking forward with joyful anticipation to a DVD to add to my list of top favorites.

Then came the awful last 11 minutes. Why awful? The writers suddenly do a complete and implausible U-turn, and after 77 minutes of delightful buildup to a certain and specific conclusion, they abruptly shift everything, ignoring all the buildup and foreshadowing which has been carefully laid throughout the film (some of it quite strong), and switch the couples around with very little (and in one case NO) character motivation.

One character which has been merely an associate of one of the main characters suddenly (and for no apparent reason) proposes marriage, throwing the whole careful buildup of the film right out the window.

Another major earlier...

Good grief this is tiresome.
This is a one-joke/one-issue movie that isn't clever, nor does it cover any new ground, and the central charater is a whining irritating self-centered dullard who can't accept that someone he loves might not love him back. (It sure wasn't hard for me to imagine.)

The supporting characters are dull and lifeless, and one of them proposes to the central character. I had difficulty caring. I kept looking at the time to see whether it was almost finished.

I must say that if you're interested in this movie, please do yourself a favor and see "All Over The Guy." It's in ENGLISH, it's cute, funny, intelligent, manages to avoid scenes of public urination, and it's much more enjoyable and affecting that this clunker. "Just One Time" is also noteworthy, supporting the same basic story line as this movie, and is also far superior in every way.

I wouldn't say completely avoid this as a rental, but it's certainly not a "keeper" (or even close) for me.
