Overview
When Heather and Sarah Ann were growing up they told each other every secret. But Heather left their small town on the last day of high school vowing never to return. Forced to come back when her father becomes ill, the young documentary filmmaker is pressured into filming Sarah Ann's wedding video. Heather is convinced that the edgy filmmaker and bubbly pink-wearing bride have nothing in common, but as the big day approaches she finds that no one is quite what they seem – especially the old friend she thought she knew better than anyone.
This was really a surprising little indie movie. Several of the reviews that I read were spot on – the movie starts really slow and it takes a while for the story to start to unfold. It’s also 20 – 30 minutes longer than it should have been and some of the dialog is just awful. But after that you’ve got yourself a pretty good little story and two excellent performances from the leads. I really liked it.
