Director Scott Gabriel’s The
Perfect Wedding will be available on DVD from Wolfe Video on Dec. 3.
It’s Christmas in Florida
at the Fowlers, a time for fun, love and family. But will it be?
Consider the list of
characters arriving at the homestead.
First the adopted daughter, Alana (Apolonia Davalos), a young black
woman raised by white parents — Richard (James Rebhorn) and Meryl (Kristine
Sutherland) — who are now facing a traumatic health issue.
In tow Alana brings her
white fiancé, Kirk (Brendan Griffin), with the thought of planning a June
wedding. But Kirk, after arriving at her
parent’s home, suddenly announces a change in plans.
Not done yet. Alana’s stepbrother, Paul (Eric Aragon),
will also be there. He is a recovering
alcoholic and is overtly gay. Alana
also brings with her Paul’s ex-lover, Roy (Roger Stewart) — the two are good
friends and she’s always felt that her brother (when he was drinking) was cruel
to Roy.
Roy, not wanting Paul to
think that he is a total loser, asks Alana if he can bring along his friend
Gavin (Jason T. Gaffney), who he will pass off as his current boyfriend — he
hasn’t been in a relationship since he parted ways with Paul (and that was two
years ago).
Right about now you’re
thinking that this is going to be a soap opera with neck-deep suds. You couldn’t be more wrong in that
assessment … filmmaker Scott Gabriel has deftly blended together a comedy of
errors and misunderstandings, coupled with just enough pathos, to give The
Perfect Wedding an edge. A winning edge!
We can tell you this
much, Christmas at the Fowlers this year will be a Christmas that no one will
ever forget … dad included!
Bonus nuggets include a
behind-the-scenes production featurette and interviews with the cast members.
