Jake can only think of one thing after being dragged to the wedding of his girlfriend's best friend. How can he get out of it? On the advice of Wes, the out-and-proud best man, he pretends to be gay and gets caught kissing Wes. Little does Jake realize he's about to get caught up in a circle of jealousy and lies. Cliff, the groom, is getting married to help solidify his hunky, soap opera star image... and to stay closeted. Yep, he s gay. And his longtime boyfriend is none other than his best man. When Cliff and Wes get pictures taken of them in a compromising position (several, in fact) it looks as though his cover might be blown. Thrown into the mix is the bride's sex crazy mother and the nosy reporter-turned-wedding photographer with a sock puppet (pop icon Deborah Gibson). What ensues is a fun, quirky and modern comedy of errors that is sure to tickle your funny bone.

Reviews

Blooeyz2001 The catchy theme song, sung by Deborah Gibson, & the comedic situations of this film reminded me of something Doris Day would've starred in, if she were making movies today. It's not for everyone, but it's enjoyable. If Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, & Britney Spears can star in movies, then certainly there are more movie parts out there for Deborah Gibson. This was a good vehicle for her film debut.

baker-9 I rented this on video out of curiosity - had no idea it actually played in theaters (not here in NYC, though).The story concerns a gay soap actor (played by Chris Bruno) who is about to marry an innocent, unsuspecting young woman to help his hunk image, much to the chagrin of his longtime boyfriend, who is forced to play "best man" at the wedding. Enter the bride's best friend/maid of honor, her klutzy date (the insufferable Sean Ruennette) who is soon mistaken to be the lover of the actor's boyfriend (don't ask), the bride's mother (Valerie Perrine, looking all at sea and who can blame her), and a pesky reporter (Deborah Gibson, the one bright light in this mess) with some compromising photos of the actor and his guy...and you've got a headache. How much contrivance can a movie handle?And we're seriously stretching credibility here - a lot. This kind of "gay deceiver" plot might still work, but the script is so witless that the story seems silly & dated. The bride-to-be seems incredibly naive for the 90's. The film actually spends the most time on the budding romance between the klutzy guy and the reporter, so the central "farce" plot sort of gets the back seat. The final denouement hinges on those photos and a mailbox found (are you ready?) on a path next to the woods. Enough said.

bud albert Funny & cute comedy in the classic 1930's screwball sense. I >found it amazing how things got steadily zannier throughout the >film and how the energy kept building. Deborah Gibson was >suprisingly funny and Sean Ruennette was totally hysterical. He >reminds me a lot of a modern Charlie Chaplin. The film has a >suprising touch of charm at the end when it has a morale messege >that is perfectly woven into the script. There's a few rough >edges, but as an independent these are easily overlooked because >it was well put together and good entertainment. Worth an

Chad-11 My Girlfriend's Boyfriend had a decent plot and took place in one location. This movie however is an underground low budget movie that lives or dies be the actors. I liked it. The actors were alright, nothing Oscar worthy. The story line involving a jealous gay lover was very funny and so was the script. This however seemed like a really good cam corder project. I enjoyed it however but now we know that this filmmaker can make movies like this it's time for him to move on and do something better.For the people that didn't like it, I don't know what to say. It is an underground movie. So underground indeed it theater in New Jersey. I'm a bit mad that I didn't see when it didn't receive distribution (I think it could have been a small success on the art house market). The movie only played at one theater for a week: The Screening Zone, a small 2 screen was there, I was in the next theater seeing Hurly Burly, another movie that lives or dies by the actors. Go see this one for a laugh and see Hurly Burly for something to think about.
