Kiss the Bride
2002, 87 minutes, Rated MA
The Sposato household, with three generations living under one roof is buzzing with the anticipation of a wedding and the coming together of the family. Kind-hearted and family-orientated Danny (Amanda Detmer), 25, is about to marry her true love, Geoffrey (Johnathon Schaech).
Her older sister, Niki (Brooke Langton), 29, the golden child, now lives in LA with her hot shot manager, Marty (Johnny Whitworth) where her dreams of becoming a star have instead landed her on a 'Baywatch' type television show, much to her father Santo's (Burt Young) and mother Irena's (Talia Shire) chagrin.
Chrissy (Vanessa Parise), 27, the family screw-up has turned her childhood insecurities into the drive to make her a top trader on Wall Street. Toni (Monet Mazur), 22, the youngest, has also felt neglected, as she was always so much younger than her three sisters. An aspiring young musician, Toni sings cover songs in dive bars with her girlfriend Amy (Alyssa Milano).
With their children's scattered lives before them, Irena and Santo slowly take ownership of their daughter's difficulties and realise that they too must bend to bring about a peace.
Kiss The Bride is an insightful and humorous look into the lives of a passionate but disparate family and their individual struggles for love and validation. The sisters journey home deliver them the sense of fullfilment and love they have hoped to find in their daily struggles. In the end all four are forced to reconcile their pasts so they can truly embrace the present.
