Well today for the first time I saw a preview for this A&E movie coming on tomorrow, at 9EST on A&E. The synopsis:

John Stamos (hottie), Eric Dane (McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy), and Jams Brolin (Babs husband and a nice looking man for his age) star.

The fiance (Eric Dane) of the daugther of Maine's governor (James Brolin) hires his gay brother (John Stamos) as his wedding planner, but when his brother learns that the governor opposes same-sex marriage, he goes on strike.

The previews show John Stamos kissing up on guys and I for one think that alone is worth watching the movie. But seriously, the movie looks cute. When John Stamos' character goes on strike, all of the gay men in the professions of hair stylists and wedding planners, etc go on strike with him after Brolin's character announces that he opposes same sex marriage. So then it becomes a struggle for Stamos and Dane's characters as Dane finds himself in the middle. Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this and it comes on tomorrow. McSteamy and John Stamos in a gay themed movie. Lord let me make sure I have oxygen on standby.

I'm sure it will be a piece of fluff but will watch it anyway. Unfortunately its looks like we will all be portrayed as hairdressers, designers, florists and wedding planners, the usual stereotypes.

I watched this. It was pure fluff, and silly fluff at that. I suppose if you want to peddle a message to middle America (though who in middle America actually watched this?), you have to do it in a sappy, cutesy kind of way. I will say this, though, with John Stamos, Eric Dane and the boyfriend (Teddy), there was almost always someone nice to look at on the screen! laugh.gif

There were some cute lines. One that comes to mind is John Stamos's boyfriend telling him, "You're not political. You don't even watch the news, and Anderson Cooper doesn't count."

Well, it was worth the frontal shots of John Stamos and Eric Dane in their skin hugging pants. You could see John Stamos' religion in a few of those picket scenes. There was the one scene with Eric Dane in sweat pants that you could see every thing from "soup to nuts". We had to roll that one back on the DVR and take another look. Ha!!! biggrin.gif

Gay wedding planners? Sounds like that British mockumentary Confetti.

I saw John Stamos play the pansexual Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway--and he was surprisingly good. Didn't see the Wedding Wars, but it sounds kind of amusing.

I saw Stamos in the same production! I went into the theater prepared to dislike his performance, but was pleasantly suprised. I thought he did a very good job in that.

Well...it was an ok movie...cute...but certainly catering to stereotypes that gay men are only stylists and wedding planners and the such. The eye candy was worth it but its not something I'd watch again if it came on.
