CGiii Comment
A wobbly-wall sitcom colliding with Sex and the City girly girly thing - a wreck ensues.
The acting is plucked from the remedial classes of any backwater am-dram company. The preaching dialogue slaps you in the face - possibly leaving an indelible bruise.
Doolan has her characters scream, moan, bitch and squirt tears excessively - if death befell any or all of them before the end of the movie then that would be a very welcome surprise/respite.
Shabby.

April's Shower is a comedy about love, romance and expectation. The story follows unpredictable twists and turns until it climaxes with a madcap finale. The hilarity belies the poignancy of truth and love and the laughter is punctuated with honesty, tenderness and pain. At the beginning, the cast assembles for a seemingly traditional wedding shower. The action is captured inside an eclectic, three-story craftsman - itself serving as a central character to the story. As the script progresses, layers are slowly pulled away revealing secret relationships and subversive undercurrents - the wedding shower quickly becomes a free for all. Just when we think we have a grasp on each character's inner-motives, more characters get sucked into the fray altering everyone's dynamic and the course of April's "perfect" shower. We open on the main character Alex, a chef, put out by her effort for the shower and struggling with her desire to make things "picture-perfect."
