MPAA RATING: R for sexual content and language

Starring Tori Spelling, Philipp Karner, James O'Shea, Joanna Cassidy, Tess Harper, Robert Foxworth, and Garrett M. Brown

When Matt receives an invitation to high school best friend Ryan's wedding, he's surprised--especially that Ryan is marrying a woman! Matt plans to rescue his former love from whatever "she-devil" has trapped him into this huge mistake. On the other hand, Ryan's perky fiancee Alex takes quite the liking to Matt. Is she very cunning, disarmingly ditzy, or 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 fling, but Matt realizes Ryan may still be the love of his life. All the while, Matt must deal with "his new best friend" Alex, the two families, and a hometown he thought he'd left entirely in the past. <em>Kiss the Bride</em> is a sexy, fun, romantic comedy, proving the boundaries of love, sexuality, and identity are never constant. (Regent Releasing)

Variety Peter Debruge
Formulaic gay comedy delivers its share of grins on the way to an (arguably) unexpected ending.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A poignant, ambitious romantic comedy that overreaches its premise with a hopelessly convoluted denouement; it plays like a last-minute attempt to pad out Tori Spelling's part to justify her star billing.

LA Weekly Nick Pinkerton
Complete predictability is avoided only thanks to its openness to the fluidity of sexual identity -- which isn’t enough to make this anything more than the most ignoble outing in bi-curious screen hijinks since France produced Poltergay.
