The Groomsmen

The Groomsmen

Groomsmen seem like a ridiculous wedding custom, but if your bride ever fails to show, there's a good chance you can convince one of them to take your bromance to that next level.

Unfortunately for the groom in this comedy, his groomsmen might be absent as well.

With a week to go before his wedding to Sue (Brittany Murphy), Paulie (Edward Burns) is advised by his brother/best man, Jimbo (Donal Logue), not to go through with it.

Meanwhile, his groomsmen Mike (Jay Mohr) and T.C. (John Leguizamo) attempt to resolve an old dispute over a missing baseball card. Dez (Matthew Lillard), on the other hand, wallows in the group's glory days.

More a dramatic dissertation on the difficulties of adulthood than a laugh-out-loud comedy, nonetheless, The Groomsmen is an honest portrayal of friendship.

By the way, it's not a romantic gesture to have your fiancée's ex-boyfriends as your groomsmen. (Yellow Light)
