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.

Brandon Judell IndieWire 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. Jul 29, 2011 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 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. Rated: 2/5 May 30, 2008 Full Review Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 24, 2008 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A little diamond in the rough, slip into your nearest theatre and say "I Do" to Kiss The Bride. Nov 6, 2019 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 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. Jun 9, 2009 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide A light, formulaic romantic comedy that plays with genre conventions just enough to make its cotton-candy charms feel almost fresh. Rated: 2.5/4 May 30, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member unusual, not too bad Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a simple movie with a strong dialogue which the actors enjoy by throwing themselves into wholeheartedly. As with any gay movie the drama gets kicked out of the ball park so beware. A few comedy moments and twists and turns keep the film going in a sensible direction with emotions arising. The guys are good looking so enjoy. Nibbles: Waffles with ice cream and strawberries. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member was cute at times. I didn't like the story. I did like Tori. ;-) she takes me back Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie where Tori Spelling is not totally annoying. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It made me laugh a few times. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Omg I cried... And laughed and then cried again... Recommended for everyone... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
