DVD Reviews of Wedding Wars
DVD Review: very funny movie
Summary: 5 Stars
loved the stars and the story, i wish it could happen in real life today, here in WA state we have a law called Everything but Marriage, but on Tuesday there is a vote as to weather we get to keep it, I think those against gay marriage should watch this film.DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great quality writing and acting for a made-for-T.V. movie. The movie took on the issue of gay marriage in an entertaining, non-threatening, non-stereotypical manner. Hats off!DVD Review: fair is fair
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is, of course, a fantasy. However it addresses some serious issues in a way that is fun and entertaining. I have been in a gay relationship for over 27 years and am not aware of having damaged anyone's marriage. I am aware that we had to go to a lawyer to get papers giving one another the right to visit one another in the hospital in serious cases. We talk a lot about the separation of church and state. The government here has confused the issue by giving church ministers civil authority over marriage. In some countries you get married by "the state" to satisfy the government; and, if you choose, you get married by your church to satisfy the demands of your religion. There is a lot of fun in this movie, but also some things to consider seriously.DVD Review: SUPERB IN EVERY WAY BUT ONE.
Summary: 5 Stars
SUPERB IN EVERY WAY BUT ONE. IT PUSHES THE IDEA OF GAY MARRIAGE DECKED WITH THE SAME COMMONPLACES THAT HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS PUSHED: WEDDINGS AS OSTENTATIOUS CONSUMPTION AND SPECTACLE. JOHN STAMOS IS TRULY AWESOME, AS IS THE REST OF THE TOTALLY COMPETENT CAST. KUDDOS TO THE DIRECTOR. AND I AM GLAD THE POINT WAS MADE: MARRIAGE, AS A CIVIL CONTRACT, IS AS MUCH FOR THE LEGAL AND MATERIAL--READ ECONOMIC-- BENEFITS AS FOR ROMANTIC INVOLVEMENT.DVD Review: Endearing but Unrealistic
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is fairly unrealistic. Once you accept this premise, you can sit back enjoy it. Stamos' acting stands out among the cast whose performances are easily forgettable except the cameo by a female, DA office worker--she's hilarious! And although the plot is unbelievable, it flows rather smoothly. Those who like happy-ever-after movies should find this one delightful; it's extremely cookie cutter. But I give it a demerit for propagating too many "gay" stereotypes.
Description of Wedding Wars
Shel Grandy (John Stamos), a gay party planner, is asked by his straight brother Ben (Eric Dane - Grey's Anatomy) to organize his wedding to Maggie Welling (Bonnie Somerville - The O.C.). But when Governor Welling (James Brolin), who is Ben's boss and Maggie's father, speaks out against gay marriage, Ben decides to go on strike. The wedding is almost off when Maggie sides with Shel, while Shel's boyfriend Ted (Sean Maher) supports Ben's position. Shel's stand becomes the focus of national media attention with gays across the country striking for equal rights.Capitalizing on the charisma of John Stamos and Eric Dane, Wedding Wars is a romantic comedy with a political agenda--gay marriage. No, Stamos and Dane don't play lovers, but rather estranged siblings. Dane leaves behind his McSteamy persona from Grey's Anatomy to portray Ben, a slightly uptight man who ends up hiring his gay brother Shel (Stamos) to be his wedding planner. The two seem to be getting along famously, but then politics enters the fray. Ben is engaged to the governor's daughter, and the governor (James Brolin) has taken a public stance against same sex marriage. Though his constituents seem to approve of his political agenda, Shel doesn't. And he shows his displeasure by walking off the job. Though the comedy gets a tad preachy about the inequalities gays face in society, Wedding Wars handles a serious subject in a funny and touching manner. The governor isn't as homophobic as his politics would have you believe. And the film gently addresses how the passive reluctance of politicians to say what they really feel, as opposed to what they think they should say, can hurt the people they serve. Stamos, who has made a career for himself playing the onscreen object of female desire, offers a wonderful performance that is witty and likeable. Shel doesn't go out of his way to tout his sexual orientation, but--unlike the governor, and to a lesser extent Ben--he also isn't afraid of letting his true voice be heard. --Jae-Ha Kim
