April's Shower

USA, 2003. 93 mins. Liberation Ent.

A woman negotiates the tricky etiquette of celebrating the wedding of her former girlfriend in this independent comedy. April and Alex are close friends who have something of a past together -- both are lesbians, and they were lovers for several years. Alex is still attracted to April, but April has moved on -- so much so that April one day announces that she's going to marry Pauly, a pleasant but dull man who was introduced to April by her mother. Understandably, Alex is a bit taken aback when April asks her to be her maid of honor, but for the sake of their friendship she accepts. However, things get a bit frazzled when Alex has to put together a bridal shower for the woman she still loves.
