Plot
Winner of the Audience Award at the New York LGBT Film Festival, Out at the Wedding is an unashamedly silly tale of small untruths and large misunderstandings. The plot centres on Alex Houston (Andrea Marcellus) a neurotic southerner living in New York, who’s just become engaged to Dana, a hefty black chap with a conveniently unisex name. Heading home to her sister's wedding, Alex keeps shtum about her own engagement, but gay best friend Jonathan sets tongues wagging with his mistaken revelation that Alex is dating a woman.  Events spin out of control, Alex plays along with the lesbian identity, and her hiring of a girlfriend has unexpected consequences…

Verdict
A few crowd-pleasing scenes make the film watch-able. Alex’s ridiculous attempts to ‘dyke up’ will raise chuckles, sister Jeannie brims with energy, and when he’s not flapping about like a fish on dry land, Charlie Schattler’s Jonathan pulls off some smart one liners. But overall, the central performances are disappointingly flat. A gay comedy should not be so hard to pull off; sadly very few films manage it.
