Plot


Ten years after leaving his conservative Arizona hometown, Matt is a successful editor and chief photographer for the LA lifestyle magazine Queery. Though he has no problems meeting men, he usually dumps them after they fail to measure up to his high school flame, Alex. Matt and his assistant Stephanie are on the verge of closing the "Big Gay Wedding" issue when he receives an invitation to Ryan's nuptials to Alex—who, to Matt's surprise, is actually a woman. Described by Stephanie as "so 'My Best Friend's Gay Wedding,'" Matt races off to rescue his former love from this woman who must have trapped him into marriage.




Cast






Critical reception


Nick Pinkerton of LA Weekly called the film "the most ignoble outing in bi-curious screen hijinks since France produced Poltergay." Peter Debruge of Variety said that while there are entertaining moments, director "Cox and his TV-caliber cast simply aren't cut out for the challenge". Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News wrote, "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. A movie this preposterous should never have been played straight." Maitland McDonagh of TV Guide gave a positive review, calling it a "light, formulaic romantic comedy that plays with genre conventions just enough to make its cotton-candy charms feel almost fresh". In Creative Loafing, David Lee Simmons said "every time the two male leads try to get serious, the filmmakers' clumsy comedy routines get in the way, whether it's Matt being mistaken for a male stripper upon stumbling into Alex's bachelorette party, or the dim-witted homophobia of Ryan's two groomsmen. Despite the presence of vets such as Tess Harper, Robert Foxworth and Joanna Cassidy…Kiss the Bride can't rise above its amateurish foundation".
