A Wedding Most Strange

Synopsis:

There’s only two weeks left for the recently divorced Danny to re-marry and inherit his family’s estate. With time running out he turns to cyberspace to identify the man of his dreams and get married on time. Having created a master plan for the whole event, Danny is sure he’ll reach his goal; no problem. If they do it on TV, how hard could it be in real life?

Quick Thoughts:

“A Wedding Most Strange” should be called “A Film Most Strange!” While I actually enjoy watching this queer film, it has a bit of a convoluted storyline that requires some suspension of beliefs. Some of these are dated now, such as email and online adverts instead of just hopping onto Grindr or the other many dating apps out there. Others are… well, weird. Like the main premise that Danny can just swap in a new groom for his wedding – in just TWO weeks. And then plays a game of Matchmaker? Amid a the gimmicks and even the couple of laughs, there is a decent heartfelt storyline buried in this queer film. We have a family’s resistance to Danny’s homosexual life, which has its own happy ending of acceptance. We also have acceptance on both friend and fiancé level as well. And even though it all falls apart, Danny still gets a happy ending! If you’re keen for some kooky laughs and gimmicks, then “A Wedding Most Strange” is a good queer family film to watch.
