Look, I'm used to movies like "Better than chocolate", "Listen", "Gia", Monster, series like "The L word", real good lesbian stuff. When I got this movie thinking it was a good lesbian drama, I was completly dissapointed. Boring, unrealistic, stupid... do not waste your time/money. The real lesbian of the movie ends up with a guy, and the main characters were so boring! oh god! I still regret I watched it. Hey, if you wanna see a lesbian movie that has never been properly discovered, buy "Listen", it's only a VHS version, but it's hot, great lesbian thriller... reminds me of Basic Instinct but better.

If you are looking for sex, this is not the movie for you. There isn't any. However, if you like a lot of story lines going on at once, along with romantic comedy then this is a good flick. I think it to be very realistic with good lines and a cast that has very good chemistry. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

With altogether too brief funny moments to break it up, the overall feel of this movie was amaturish and wooden. Based on a hard to believe premise - would you, as an ex who was jilted 10 short months ago, agree to be the Maid of Honor for the lover who left you? - nope, me either. I kept feeling like I was watching a bad high school theater production - shot in the Winchester mystery house. Continuity issues, a weak and disjointed story line heavy on the stereotypes, and a badly stiched together plot drove this movie into the dirt for me.
Watching paint dry would have been so much more entertaining.
I want my 98 minutes back.

I rented this movie, and I'm glad I didn't spend too much on the rental. It was cute, and entertaining enough, but as someone who buys plenty of DVDs, I wouldn't have purchased this one. It had its moments, though, and I enjoyed watching it once, even though plenty of parts of it don't really make sense.

This is not my favorite movie, but it was cute. I didn't like some of the way the twists happen, but there were some good moments. It was entertaining. I probably won't watch it again, but it would make a good rental.

This movie is so bad that it's good - it's just so atrociously acted, cheesy lines, unlikely hookups, bad characters (I mean - seriously, groom gets dumped and is ready to run home to wait for a Spanish hottie?) and everyone gets drunk, laid and hooked-up. It's pretty dang funny in a lot of ways but maybe not for what you see at face value. It's a good "bad" movie.

The reviews here reveal that some people found pleasure in this film. Unfortunately, I do not find myself among them. I could not wait for it to end. I watched the whole thing only because I had paid to rent it, but it was mostly a painful experience.

No one is really connected to anyone in this film. Almost all the characters seem narcissistic and flippant. There are so many characters introduced who are carrying zany, personal issues, and we are supposed to care about these. But the reader has no motivation to care, due to the disorganized storyline.

The attempt to create a warm reunion of people who care about each other falls short. None of the characters has much heart, and there are even several face-slapping scenes! The only appealing character was the young nerdy woman, who appears briefly. Please, let us have more well-written films with appealing characters.

I love cheesy movies, and this one is right up there. The randomness is what makes me laugh the most.

"April's Shower" is a funny, moving, entirely believable film about the choice between what the heart desires and what society will accept. I would recommend this film highly to anyone with an open mind who likes good comedy (a rarity in Hollywood these days).

Basic synopsis: Alex has been asked to be the maid of honour at her friend April's wedding, and is in the process of throwing April her wedding shower. There's just one complication: Alex and April used to be lovers, but April left because she was afraid of coming out dating another woman. When Alex let's their relationship slip during the shower (in front of April's controlling Mother) things get surreal.

"April's Shower" is filled with funny, lively characters. It benefits from a well-written script, a capable cast, and a breezy and engaging pace. The Heathen Hippy gives it four fresh bouquets.

Over all this movie was very funny. Yeah it was alittle over but it is a comedy so you don't really expect real life situtions. The way the characters are weaved together and the story is told is not your everyday coming out to your parents. It is a story of true love over coming impossible odds in a funny non in your face I am gay so deal with it way. It has very nice cross over appeal.
