Here Comes the Groom (2023)

Watch this for MDL challenge. One very chaotic movie… Haha….

Story about the very conservative Rodrigo’s family & a family of gay pageant.

Rodrigo Sr., his wife Salve and their children Rodrigo Jr. and Blesilda are on their way to Junior's wedding on the day of the solar eclipse. Along the road, their vehicle collides with a van carrying a family of gay pageant performers: Mama Wendy, Wanda, Winona, Wilhelmina, and their trainee, Whitney.

When they all wake up, chaos begins: they’ve swapped bodies. Rodrigo Sr. with Wanda, Rodrigo Jr. with Wilhelmina and Blesilda with Whitney.

With the help of Joy—the Barangay Chairwoman (village captain) of San Rafael, who is also Salve’s cousin and Junior’s godmother—they finally reunite and piece together what happened.

Aside from dealing with the bizarre body swap, there are two big events neither group can afford to miss. Rodrigo’s family has a wedding to get through, while Mama Wendy’s family has a pageant to compete in. For the sake of both events, they call a truce and agree to help each other carry out their respective roles.

Now the question:
? Can they actually stay in character long enough for Junior to walk down the aisle…
? What will happen to Junior’s married life? Will they need to tell Yumi, Junior’s bride, the truth—and how will Yumi react afterward?
And most importantly:
? How long will they remain trapped in each other’s bodies… Will they have to wait until the next solar eclipse, or is there another way to reverse the swap….

That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Interesting story.
+ How they manage to change the perspective of a conservative family for LGBTQ community.
+ The support Sean gives to Junior—as his best friend and best man—despite his own feelings for him.
+ How funny everything in the end for the whole group

What I don’t too like:
- A little bit too chaotic for my taste.

Overall this quite fun little ride…
