Wedding Wars Critique!

Fabulous! So A&E’s Wedding Wars was probably as good as a made-for-TV-movie can get. It was more sensitive than I thought it would be. It also made civil unions out to be nothing at all like marriage. It said that civil unions didn’t allow for all the benefits that marriage did. I guess I was under the impression that civil unions were like marriage in that they granted all of the same rights as marriage. I think I’m sticking with what I thought at first; you can’t always trust everything you see on A&E, but I may be wrong. The movie had other subplots and on the whole was pretty good in how it dealt with gay issues. Of course, certain stereotypes couldn’t be avoided, such as the lesbians having hammers and rebuilding the gazebo. The brother of John’s character is McSteamy from Grey’s Anatomy. There were many other appealing people for homos and heteros alike! It’ll be shown again this Saturday at 9pm. It is a great show to wind down to after hours of studying for finals.
