This film has everything you want from a meet cute/ mistaken angst/happy ending, romantic comedy. What is lovely is that the two happy ending characters are gay and their gayness is not the focus of the story. Their romantic comedy is the focus. Just like any traditional romantic comedy there are silly misunderstandings, longing for the person you think is taken, being a 'good guy' and not expressing your interest because you think it will hurt someone else, then discovering that all along that person was both free and clear and wishing you would notice him.... There are multiple heartfelt story lines, a family you wish were your own, gorgeous settings, lovely music, cute dialogue with catchphrases, and adorable actors. The movie clearly doesn't intend to be BIG or IMPORTANT. The intent is to be happy, light, and fun. And it works!

I am giving this film a Ten because of the chunks in it. A chunk is the ultimate hunk and this film has them in spades, so many in fact my poor little brain had a hard time trying to figure out which one turned me on the most. Also, the actor who played the Father in The Talented Mr. Ripley plays the Father here and as always he is very, very good, one of the top character actors in films if you check out his history at IMDb. Aside from those pluses this film is just plain awful. It has already been pointed out that one of the chunks falls for a nerd which of course is absurd, but he does and you just groan through the film thinking why would a chunk fall for a nerd? But even worse than that is the fact that the bride in the so-called perfect wedding is black while the entire cast is white! Hello? What is going on here? Am I color-blind? No, as it turns out I am not and we are told she is adopted, which, I guess is okay but she does not have a single black friend and she is marrying a white chunk. Worse is the script which is just plain dribble, just chock full of nonsense that just doesn't fly in any way whatsoever. The chunks - three of them by the way - kept me watching because all three of them are such dolls but I groaned throughout the film because of its many, many flaws.

It has been a while since I had a good cry like that. This film is beautiful. SPOILER ALERT!!!! The plot is not hard to figure out. The guy gets the guy! Yay! I love the relationships between the mom and dad, the sister and brother, the best friend and sister, the sister and fiancé, Roy and Paul, and most of all between Paul and Gavin! The plot builds nicely and allows you get to know each of the characters and their idiosyncrasies. You care deeply about them by the middle of the film. You know what is coming to wrap it up and you just can't wait to get there! But when you do, have tissue by your side. You're gonna need it.In case I am not clear, I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!

While it's not well written, and the acting is mediocre, the worst part is the fact that someone would actually cast that actor that played Gavin as a love interest for an attractive guy like Paul. I mean who did he have to screw to get that part. I almost threw up when the cute guy, Paul, kissed that mouth on Gavin. Just wrong! The kid has more gum and teeth than a horse, he's got a horrid farmers tan, and His acting was almost as unattractive as he is. Please save yourself the time and watch Geography Club instead. It could have been a decent movie if they recasted a few people and got someone with talent to write the script. Cute concept, bad execution.
