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.
