    Another Romantic Comedy with a Lesbian flair. Not very smart, full of cliches and stereotypes, and the lesbians jump back and forth with men. Need I say more?

    A diverse and quirky bunch of guests, each with their own personal bag of issues, come during the course of the story to April's wedding shower staged by her former girlfriend Alex, where most of them fortuitously wind up resolving their issues in the process of bringing the story to an upbeat conclusion. Definitely a chick flick, but one whose dialogue is catchy and moves the story along without getting boring. The women, for the most part, are easy on the eye and invite the sympathy of the audience as the story unfolds. Trish Doolan proves herself an able writer as well as actress here, delivering a smart comedy with a positive ending, a relative rarity in lesbian films.
