Wedding Wars

Campy & Funny with a message
I just saw this movie the other day. A friend of mine had taped it. I found the movie to be very campy and funny. There were some stereotypes used in creating many of the supporting cast, but the Stamos and Maher were anything but. While there were some stereotypes used in creating each character, they were both well rounded, and in no way the cliche "flaming over the top fag" that tends to be created in most other comedies.

The movie has a great message, and one that I hope will actually be heard. I applaude A&E for airing a movie like this. It had a much wider audience than if it had been broadcast on one of the gay networks, or released only on DVD. I wish more of studios would take a stand and make movies with queer main characters, and have them be well rounded, and not cliches.

OH, and just on a side note, Sean Maher is still as hot as ever, even if he went from a doctor on a spaceship (Firefly-TV series) to an assistiant district attorney. Either way, he...

A Well Done, Professional Comedy with an Understated Powerful Message
The added features on this very entertaining DVD of the brisk and light comedy WEDDING WARS bear watching: the producers, director and actors make the case for the approach of this quality film in tackling the issue of rights for gay marriage in a manner that could not offend anyone and at the same time create a more serious vantage from which to view the controversy. It is the only time in the 'film' that politics is the issue, a factor that makes the actual viewing of the story far more powerful. Credit the writer Stephen Mazur and director Jim Fall for a creating a frothy, fun story that has much more at its core than just entertainment.

Ben Grandy (Eric Dane) works as the campaign manager for the Governor of Maine (James Brolin) and proposes to the governor's daughter Maggie (Bonnie Sommerville). The wedding will be at the waterside mansion of the Governor and when the need for a wedding planner is raised, Maggie insists they ask Shel Grandy (John Stamos), the openly...

Nicely done and entertains also
Loved this one it had a cool premise what if all the gays in all areas around the country went on strike. How it affected the country was crazy and i know it wouldnt go down quite like that. It was still nice to see people uniting over the issue of gay marriage and all that it entails. John Stamos plays his character pretty well as well as Eric Dane. His accepting (not really) of him being gay brother. John Stamos is an all around delight to see in the movie being able to stand up for what he believes in. When the issue of gay marriage gets put down by the governor that wasn't thinking that way before hand. But it is an election year after all.

The supporting characters particularly his live in partner and Eric Dane's wife are acted well and having them in this helps lighten the mood somewhat. Not that is needed because the governor's wife is none too pleased with him after his decision and lets him know on any occasion she can. I love that and i love the fact that...
