CGiii Comment
American gay cinema is rapidly becoming a tragedy - if this is anything to go by.
For some unknown reason this film was eagerly anticipated due to the success of Latter Days (which was a dubious attempt at making a serious film from a disturbing subject).
Cox is unable to get anything more than line delivery from his actors.
It has all the pretensions of a good film - unfortunately, those pretensions are solidly based on a delusional notion of talent.

The(ir) Blurb...
In high school, Matt and Ryan were best friends. More than friends, actually. But in the ensuing ten years, they've lost contact. So when Matt receives an invitation to Ryan's wedding he's surprised - especially that Ryan is marrying a woman! Matt interrupts his ideal alternative lifestyle to return to his hometown. He plans to rescue his former love from whatever "she-devil" has trapped him into this huge mistake. On the other hand, Ryan's perky fiancé Alex takes quite the liking to Matt. Is she very cunning, disarmingly ditsy, completely adorable - or all three? As Matt tries to rekindle the old flame, Ryan is intent on putting out any sparks. Ryan dismisses their old romance as just a high school thing, but Matt realizes Ryan may still be the love of his life.
