Director C. Jay Cox explores the complex social and sexual landscapes of contemporary America with this heartfelt romantic comedy about a gay male who just discovered that the love of his life is about to tie the knot -- with a woman! Back in high school, Matt (Philipp Karner) and Ryan (James O'Shea ) were more than just best friends. But ten years after graduation, this once-inseparable pair has lost contact. One day, seemingly out of the blue, Matt receives an invitation to Ryan's wedding. Of course, there has been plenty of time for Ryan to develop new relationships in the ten long years since he and Matt last spoke, but the last thing Matt would ever expect is for his former high-school love to fall for a member of the "fairer sex." Convinced that Ryan is about to be taken advantage of by a scheming she-devil, Matt races back to the small hometown he once left behind and prepares to save his true love from a life of marital despair. Upon meeting perky bride-to-be Alex (Tori Spelling), however, Matt slowly begins to understand what it is that Ryan sees in her. Still, Matt can't mess up the opportunity to let the love of his life slip through his fingers, and ultimately decides to come clean about his true feelings for Ryan. Trouble is, Ryan views his romance with Matt as nothing more than a high school fling. As the wedding day draws near and long-buried emotions begin to bubble to the surface, Matt realizes that his feelings for Ryan are stronger than ever before, and his attempts to reconcile the past with the present will ultimately pave the road into an uncertain future. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

House (Hugh Laurie) isn't the only one who feels betrayed when Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) cuts a deal with Detective Tritter (David Morse), whereby all charges against House will be dropped if he agrees to spend two months in drug rehab. Elsewhere, having already cut off House's Vicodin supply, Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) also takes him off the case of Abigail (Kacie Borrowman), a 15-year-old dwarf suffering from anemia and a collapsed lung. But without House's input, a diagnosis of Abigail's situation won't come easily. And with House unable to reach a détente with the vengeful Tritter, it looks like a Merry Christmas is not in the cards. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
