The life of Matt Roman (Philipp Karner) is turned upside down when he learns that Ryan (James O'Shea), his high-school lover, is going to be married -- to a woman. Believing that Ryan is undergoing some kind of identity crisis and needs help, Matt makes the journey back home, where he meets Ryan's bride-to-be, Alex (Tori Spelling). She immediately gets chummy with Matt, while Ryan claims that his prior flings with men were just part of a temporary phase. Matt, however, cannot accept this.

Brandon Judell IndieWire 07/29/2011
This is another one of those poorly-acted, TV sitcoms that only gets into film fests because it has two guys kissing. That Tori Spelling stars is enough of a review by itself. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 05/30/2008
2/5
At first, the supremely silly vibe offers a fair amount of fun. But then Cox switches gears and gets serious, which is a huge mistake. Go to Full Review Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine 04/24/2008
2.5/5
Fans of the genre, Ms. Spelling (who are likely the same people) and perhaps TV's Will & Grace (who are likely the same people) will be inclined to walk this bride down the aisle. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/06/2019
A little diamond in the rough, slip into your nearest theatre and say "I Do" to Kiss The Bride. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 06/09/2009
The premise is stomach-turning cutesy as well as maudlin, the characters are cartoons, and the climax is unbelievable and strained to a fare-thee-well. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 05/30/2008
2.5/4
A light, formulaic romantic comedy that plays with genre conventions just enough to make its cotton-candy charms feel almost fresh. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James M @RT96560606 Mar 11 After seeing the low review score, I was pleasantly surprised. A decent feel good rom com when you don't want anything too serious. I'd watch it again if I just wanted to chill with no stress. See more inta k @intuciic 09/27/2016 unusual, not too bad See more 10/25/2013 This is a simple movie with a strong dialogue which the actors enjoy by throwing themselves into wholeheartedly. As with any gay movie the drama gets kicked out of the ball park so beware. A few comedy moments and twists and turns keep the film going in a sensible direction with emotions arising. The guys are good looking so enjoy. Nibbles: Waffles with ice cream and strawberries. See more 05/18/2013 was cute at times. I didn't like the story. I did like Tori. ;-) she takes me back See more 08/15/2012 Cute movie where Tori Spelling is not totally annoying. See more 05/08/2012 It made me laugh a few times. See more Read all reviews
