CGiii Comment
Showalter (auteur and actor) does neurosis down to a succulent peach.
The wedding planner is, guess...GAY and a little person - the same little person in the foul Death at a Funeral - type-casting.
It stars off rather promising...but, fails to keep the momentum going - it crawls to its predictable conclusion.
Mildly amusing, nonetheless.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
In the style of a Howard Hawks comedy, Baxter follows the twists and turns of a young man's life during the two weeks before his wedding.
