A Very Sordid Wedding

Product Description Marriage equality comes to small town Texas. A serial killer, drag queens and a dysfunctional family collide driving toward an explosive night. Meanwhile, a memorial service at a bar and an Anti-Equality rally at a church both go off the rails. Review A Very Sordid Wedding offers some undeniably entertaining moments, and its talented ensemble, clearly encouraged to pull out all the stops, delivers their comic shtick with admirable gusto. It s also impossible to entirely resist a film featuring Whoopi Goldberg as a priest officiating a gay wedding while clad in a rainbow-hued robe. --Hollywood Reporter A Very Sordid Wedding - Much More Than A Wonderful Movie, But A Game-Changer In LGBT Politics --Huffington Post You ll get a gay rights sermon with your booze and cigarettes and Southern charm the way the good lord intended. --FilmThreat.com About the Director Del Shores has written, directed and produced successfully across studio and independent film, network and cable television and regional and national touring theatre.
